One way I personally relate to the young narrator in “Salvation” or “Araby?” was when he was excited the whole week to go to the fair and was expecting it to be something super big and grand, and overall had high expectation just for all those expectations to be let down on the day he was supposed to go on the fair. It reminds me of when I was smaller and would ask my mom or dad to buy me like a toy or candy when they came back from work or the store, and they would say okay. So, the whole day I was super excited and made plans of what I was going to do with my new toy. But when they came home, they said they forgot to get it and then just like the narrator at the end of the story I was sad, angry and disappointed.

Agree with you Sabrina. I remember having the same feeling when I knew something that I was dreaming of was about to happen. That was my case last summer, I was going back to my country for vacation. I remember the night before, I couldn’t sleep because I was so excited to go back. The week before the trip, I felt it was endless omg. Whenever I have something that I know is going to be fun, it is the same feeling for me, just like the boy in “Araby.”
I agree with you Sabrina. whenever I knew I was about to do something fun or going to receive a gift I always felt super excited. I remember when I was younger the night before my birthday or Christmas I would always have the most trouble getting sleep in anticipation for the next day.
