The short story,  Araby, by James Joyce is about the adventure of a boy maturing into adulthood in 19th century Dublin. Through his dramatic actions and the influence of his catholic upbringing that determined his thoughts on love and sexuality, the young boy believes he has fallen in love with a girl who is unaware of his existence. Towards the end of the story, the young boy learns from his childish actions that his "love" is an illusion of what many in the world believe to be a young infatuation.

BODY PARAGRAPH:  

The character of the boy is revealed to the readers through his dramatic actions to try and win the girl that is oblivious of his presence. Throughout the story, the boy trails behind the girl who became an unhealthy obsession.  Sometimes the boy, "did not know whether [he] would ever speak to her or not or, if [he] spoke to her, how [he] could tell her of [his] confused adoration." This shows the boys dramatic stalker tendencies proven by his thoughts that the girl is bound to be with him at some point, and he won't stop until she is. 
When the girl first addressed he boy, he was so confused that he did not know whether "[he] answered yes or no." This shows how the boy is so mesmerized by the girl's beauty that he can't think or act around her. Ultimately, the boy's dramatic thoughts and actions creates an image for the boy that comes off as ]]> 2016-11-17 13:41:00 UTC https://padlet.com/reese_pierce/y6fez2jpel0p/wish/138386903 dellop7917 https://padlet.com/reese_pierce/y6fez2jpel0p/wish/138387117 In the late 1800's, feminist leaders had a common belief that, because women have been victimized by men and have been treated differently, gender wise, that it must be the primary source of oppression. In Kate Chopin's dramatic short story, "The Story of an Hour," Ms. Mallard learns about the news of her husband's death in a tragic train accident. A newly awakened feeling within her arose and she adopts, what would have been considered at the time, a hysterical mindset. Women didn't have many rights at the time, so her joyful emotion towards her husband's death reveals a diseased mentality. Towards the end of the story,  the narrator reveals that Mrs.Mallard has a heart attack, ironically, at the same time it is revealed that her husband is alive. Social conventions in the story were against the norms of what society valued.

1st Body Paragraph: Societal norms during the Feminist era were not portrayed in the character of Mrs. Mallard. The phrase, "free, free, free" shows that Mrs. Mallard was relieved from the burden of being with her husband and finally had the freedom that women were not able to receive due to male oppression within society. Mrs. Mallard finally, was able to spread her wings and fly out of male authority. She represents the opposite of society's social conventions because she longed for the freedom that she couldn't acquire. Also, in the phrase, "she had loved him sometimes ---. Often she had not" demonstrates that she did not fully with her whole heart love her husband as much as she should have based on society's values.

This idea was created by historian Barbara Welter to describe the expectations and role of women during the 19th century. In the"Story of an hour" by Kate Chopin, she uses Mrs. Mallard, the main character to demonstrate the breaking of gender roles and the negative effects of oppression. In the short story, Mrs. Mallard was characterized as the ideal women during the 19th century society, however she flees from the burdened expectations and exemplifies true happiness through feminism. 
1st paragraph: Through the response of her husband's death, Mrs. Mallard introduces feminism to the role of women, in the 19th century society. In line 15, and 16 Mrs. Mallard expresses feminism at its greatest peak. She says, "And yet she had loved him-sometimes...Free! Body and soul free!" At this moment, Mrs. Mallard is beginning to realize her true role in society. She cries in joy, and is overwhelmed by the fact that she is no longer property to her husband. Upon her husband's death, she confesses that she had not really loved him, but was forced to love him because it was an expectation during the society. She also portrays genuine feminism in line 17 when her sister Josephine is concerned about her well-being and says, "You will make yourself ill. What are you doing, Louise?" And Mrs. Mallard replies, "Go away. I am not making myself ill." At this moment, she has fathomed the utterly most ignorant and inequality in the society. She is finally free from the chains of oppression and male dominance. ]]> 2016-11-17 13:54:12 UTC https://padlet.com/reese_pierce/y6fez2jpel0p/wish/138392680 clamenr7417 https://padlet.com/reese_pierce/y6fez2jpel0p/wish/138393896 Intro: 
Everybody has had a relationship with someone who didn't even know it was going on. Caring for someone who would never care for you back can help a person come to the realization of how unfair love really is. This is evident in the short story Araby written by James Joyce. A young boy explains his feelings of worthlessness due to his infatuation for a girl who valued little to nothing for his existence.  Through the narrator's actions and thoughts, the audience is able to see how his experience with his crush helped him to realize how little his situation really mattered. 
Body: 
Throughout the short story, the point of view is that of the adolescent boy. This allows the reader to witness first hand how the narrator's thoughts changes and grows as the story progresses. At one point in the story, the narrator expresses his admiration by describing how her image accompanies him even in the most hostile places (Paragraph 5, sentence 1) . The narrator explains "Her name sprang to my lips at moments in strange prayers and praises which myself did not understand" this demonstrates how his love for the girl uncontrollably pours out of him. 
The audience is able 






Flash forward to the end, he describes seeing his "love" interacting with other men, and his feelings changed to angry and abandonment. This change shows the main character's entry into adulthood. His one sided love is not longer real to him, and his innocentness is discarded. ]]> 2016-11-17 13:57:02 UTC https://padlet.com/reese_pierce/y6fez2jpel0p/wish/138393896
