Araby

Araby Innocence to Experience In every person’s life there is a movement from a stage of innocence to a more mature and experience stage. That movement begins from the moment that he or she is brought into this world and ends when he or she dies. The movement from innocence to experience is triggered by events where he or she is forced to learn from his or her actions. Once they have learned the consequences of their actions and how to react to situations, that lesson will stick with them for the rest of their lives. They have gained more experience and, at the same time, lost a little of their innocence. That movement is demonstrated in “Araby,” written by James Joyce, with a young boy who seems to be a little naive an is going through things in his life that he does not quite understand yet. It is also shown in “A & P,” written by John Updike, through the eyes of a teenager named Sammy who seems to think using something else instead of his brain.
