Flyboy and Mercedes. Flyboy appears to be poor in the story where he has mentioned not having a home. In contrast, Mercedes appears to be wealthy where she has boasted about her father giving her gifts. As they arrive at the toy store, Flyboy pointed out a toy sailboat that costs over $1,100. In this scenario, Mercedes begin to boast once again about her father’s financial gift on spending things for his daughter, “might buy it for her.” Flyboy, on another hand, doesn’t have many expressions, yet is aware of how everything is expensive in the store. This gives readers a gist of Flyboy’s character as a modest character when it comes to money.

“Araby” is a short story written by James Joyce. “Araby” is not about love story. “Araby” is really about a young boy who come from Ireland. The story opens with the narrator’s description of his home and neighborhood, in which we first see Joyce’s use of the close first-person narrator to convey the full sensory range of sensory detail like, sights, smells, colors, textures that comprise the setting. However, the action doesn’t begin in earnest until Mangan’s sister appears on the doorstep of her house, and the narrator begins to describe his obsession with her. It is an obsession with Mangan’s sister.The narrator falls in love with Mangan’s sister, a love that drives the plot of the story. Finally, we learn that the narrator lives with his uncle and aunt, despite the fact that the narrator does not go into detail about his personal life. The uncle and aunt, appear in the narrative, but the uncle plays the most important role in the storyline since he prevents the narrator from making it to the bazaar on time.
