Araby By James Joyce is really about growing up and learning how to love and treat others in the reading it speaks about a child from Ireland who is involve with a girl who lives across the street from him so through out the story he tries to get to know the girl as much as he can and get close to her so he tries to find any way possible to get closer to her. Later on in the story she mentions to him about attending a bazaar so he uses this moment and says to himself that he will attend the bazaar as well but he ends up going by himself and decides to bring her a small gift back to try and win her over. This reading introduces ways of respecting one another and how relationships should really be so that people in relationships do not get into bad encounters.
