The short story” Araby’ by James Joyce is about a young boy who lives in Dublin, Ireland that is experiencing life and has developed a liking for his friend’s sister and he vows to get her a present at Bazaar. Some phrases to define this character in the story include amusing and readily swayed, as well as optimistic as he arrives at Bazaar seeing as a young kid your naivety can definitely give us different views on things. but he discovers that it is not what he imagined. Learning to realise that things don’t always turn out as anticipated fact that he had idealized a major amount of what would happen makes him unhappy and dissatisfied because of how he saw it and what he had in mind. He could essentially demonstrate how young children perceive the world as something vast and available for them to enjoy and explore with their innocence.
In “Salvation” by Langston Hughes the younger boy can be described as hopeful, enthusiastic and zealous about Jesus coming into his life and seeing him and getting to know him after his aunt has talked greatly about Jesus and being saved. At the end of the story, he was different and felt immensely different about this religion he was always around and watched others praise along with worshipping someone that he was eager to know about. When the other little boy that he was left with at the alter realized that nothing was happening and he told Langston that he was tired and just going to say he got saved and the longer he stayed there he decided that he should too and was very conflicted by what he did and was upset.
