Anais Salcedo Discussion 10

I am writing about James Joyce’s short story known as “Araby”. The narrator of the story is a young boy who is infatuated by a girl from his neighborhood. In the story, we notice that the author uses bright color to represent the girl and to demonstrate her significance in the young boy’s life. The setting of the story is dark and dull. The author uses lots of imagery throughout the story to paint a picture of the young boy’s life, which is dull and boring. And how the girl seems to be the only bright light in the young boy’s life. It was difficult to find a critique that related to the theme of my essay. I went through several BMCC databases and I didn’t specifically find results relating to the author’s use of imagery. But “Blind streets and seeing houses: Araby’s dim glass revisited” by Margot Norris is the source I will most likely use for my research essay.
