Araby

I do not have any brothers. I also have never really had a guy friend until recently, so there is much that I do not know about the male mind. That is why I thought this story was interesting. It gave me an inside view to what a boy might think.
I also thought the conclusion was interesting. Everything the boy did lead up to the end. He saw who he was, and what the motives for his actions truly were. I just wonder what he did after the point of recognition. Did he stop liking the girl, or did he fall back into his ways. It reminds me of real life. we might catch ourselves doing things that we are ashamed of. When we do we are then given a choice; to keep doing the action, or change and strive for better.

  1. He feels stupid at the end because he realizes that he is outside the love loop. The girl and the two guys are flirting while he is just a little boy who is dreaming of a girl he can never have. He is very bitter.
