In your opinion, would the boy still be hopeful about his future with Mangan’s sister? en-us 2023-03-16 06:08:18 UTC 2023-04-12 05:04:27 UTC hello@padlet.com Question 2 Discussion https://padlet.com/anhthuspta120201/yblnuyfvqy2rbv78/wish/2525158020 From a perspective including what I learned about the situation as well as the boy and Mangan's sister, the night after the bazaar gives off a badly big impact on the boy's thoughts and hope about his future with Mangan's sister, or in other words, he wouldn't still be hopeful as he was. I have evidence to support my point. In this one-way relationship, the boy was not visible, Mangan's sister barely knows about him, but it was he who spent most of the time stalking her from outside of her sight. He was not even brave enough to confess his love or to start flirting. Mangan's sister completely takes the lead in any conversations which they do not have plenty of. The boy, in her eyes, has no social values. The only connection they have is through the bazaar, a place of shiny things and materials. Sadly, that shiny and lightful place consists of things that he doesn't and will not have in a long time. The only chance he had to get to the bazaar was fortunately thanks to his aunt convincing his uncle. That can be considered luck, and luck doesn't happen much.]]> 2023-03-21 10:55:22 UTC https://padlet.com/anhthuspta120201/yblnuyfvqy2rbv78/wish/2525158020 Question 3 huynhnghavy https://padlet.com/anhthuspta120201/yblnuyfvqy2rbv78/wish/2525413748 The narrator has lost part of his youth and innocence by the time the story ends. The reader can certainly relate to the narrator's bitter feelings of "anguish and anger" as he, at last, realized the terrible gap between his idealistic ideas and reality. The reader shares the narrator's shattering defeat by reality. Nonetheless, it is obvious that the woman's in a bazaar critical attitude and the uncle's possible intoxication are the causes of the disappointment and wrath.   However, there won't be any disappointment or resentment toward Mangan's sister. The same phenomenon is evident when the boy assumes the role of the narrator and describes the scene and the characters in his place. Readers can sense a gloomy, lifeless atmosphere. Nevertheless, when Mangan's sister made an appearance, it was as if a light had suddenly been shone into the otherwise dark scene. Although the narrator remains the same, he now speaks with a cheerier tone and expresses emotion in each word to help the reader form an impression of this man. So perhaps the youngster will grow up and become damaged when he understands the harsh realities of life, in my opinion. But his affection for Mangan's sister will endure. And possibly because of these things, he will work harder in the future to realize his romantic aspirations for Mangan's sister.]]> 2023-03-21 13:44:50 UTC https://padlet.com/anhthuspta120201/yblnuyfvqy2rbv78/wish/2525413748 Q3: In your opinion, would the boy still be hopeful about his future with Mangan’s sister? https://padlet.com/anhthuspta120201/yblnuyfvqy2rbv78/wish/2525484612
In James Joyce's short story "Araby," the boy is infatuated with Mangan's sister, and his desire to impress her is the driving force behind his visit to the bazaar. However, his experience at the bazaar leaves him feeling disillusioned and disappointed, which may affect his future hopes for a relationship with her.
In my opinion, it is unlikely that the boy would still be hopeful about his future with Mangan's sister after his experience at the bazaar. The story portrays a world in which dreams and illusions are easily shattered by reality, and the boy's experience at the bazaar is a prime example of this. The bazaar, which he had imagined as a place of wonder and romance, turns out to be a drab and disappointing place, which leaves him feeling empty and disillusioned.
Moreover, the boy seems to realize that his feelings for Mangan's sister are based on a fantasy rather than reality. He notes that "her name sprang to my lips at moments in strange prayers and praises," suggesting that his obsession with her is more about idealized fantasy than genuine affection. The boy's disillusionment at the bazaar may help him see that his feelings for Mangan's sister are not based on a realistic assessment of who she is as a person, but rather on an idealized vision of her that he has constructed in his mind.
Overall, the boy's experience at the bazaar is likely to have a profound impact on his future hopes for a relationship with Mangan's sister. It may cause him to question the validity of his feelings and to recognize the gap between his fantasies and reality.

Throughout the story, the boy's crush on Mangan's sister is described as a romantic ideal,  hope in an oppressive environment. However, after visiting the bazaar and discovering that it is nothing like he had imagined, the boy's illusions are shattered, and he becomes acutely aware of the harsh realities of his life. This is evidenced by the final lines of the story:
"Gazing up into the darkness I saw myself as a creature driven and derided by vanity; and my eyes burned with anguish and anger."
These lines shows that the boy is feeling disillusioned, angry, and betrayed by the world and by his own illusions. He realizes that his romantic ideals have led him astray and that he may have been foolish to pin all his hopes on Mangan's sister and the possibility of a future with her. While it's possible that the boy may still harbor feelings for Mangan's sister and may retain some hope for a future with her, the overall tone of the story suggests that he has become more cynical and disillusioned, and that his romantic illusions have been shattered by the harsh realities of life.

There seems to be nothing for him. It is the realization and acceptance that make him feel utterly disappointed and disillusioned, his eyes burning with “anguish and anger.” The desire to buy Mangan’s sister a gift at the bazaar has been reduced to fantasy. Fulfilling his promise to the girl becomes impossible, which could decrease the courage to confess his love to her. That is the reason why I regard the boy’s hopefulness about his future with Mangan’s sister to be small. In addition, after arriving at the Bazaar, he realizes that his feelings for Mangan's sister are not what he believed, let alone hers toward him.  There is no romantic feeling between them, all that has filled his mind has been like a dream. He doesn’t know her at all. She is not a source of holiness, but a kid—just as he is. He is devastated by these truths. For him, It is like a rite of passage which is moving from the unknown and the imagined into the realm of the “real world.”

Besides, they didn’t actually know each other very well. Only the boy tried to walk to school behind her and then speeded up to catch her attention. We can see that he never attempts to talk to her and Mangan’s sister rarely does the same. All of which means that the boy’s affection is not a real love, just something he fantasized about. From my perspective, because the boy realized this reality and lost his confidence, he had a change in heart. That’s why I think he hardly is hopeful about his future with Mangan’s sister.]]> 2023-03-21 17:11:36 UTC https://padlet.com/anhthuspta120201/yblnuyfvqy2rbv78/wish/2525776900 Question 3 https://padlet.com/anhthuspta120201/yblnuyfvqy2rbv78/wish/2525798789 I believe the boy's love for Mangan's sister is more than just a passing fling, rather, it is a deeply felt emotion that has taken root in his heart. This is supported by the details of him watching her intently through the window and, or more importantly, by the fact that he was willing to go to any lengths to win her love, as evidenced by his agreement to visit the bazaar and promise to buy her a gift. Therefore, even if his illusion was shattered by reality, which brought him "anguish and anger," I believe that his disappointment at the bazaar did not completely kill his hope. In fact, there may be a chance for the youngster to grow in a more positive way as a result of the harsh reality. He could use it as motivation to work harder to win Mangan's sister's affections. He could see it as a challenge to overcome, rather than a defeat.]]> 2023-03-21 17:24:31 UTC https://padlet.com/anhthuspta120201/yblnuyfvqy2rbv78/wish/2525798789 Question 3 nguyenngocvany28 https://padlet.com/anhthuspta120201/yblnuyfvqy2rbv78/wish/2525816076 Personally, I do not think that would the boy still be hopeful about his future with Mangan’s sister. The fact that at the end of the story, we can see the image of the boy realizing something after rushing to the bazaar at 10 p.m. He saw himself as a creature driven and derided by vanity, and his eyes burned with anguish and anger. I believe that the “vanity” the narrator mentioned here is the boy’s romantic thoughts to the young lady. They are just illusions. Later, he was irritated because his romantic ideals are the reason which encourages him to make a promise to bring something from the bazaar. And how was he now? He lost the promise. He would not know how to face Mangan’s sister because he came back home from the Araby bazaar without any present. I think at this age, young people always want to prove to themself that they can do this, they can do that, so breaking a promise is not acceptable. Besides, the love that the boy gave to the young lady was like the thing he make a promise to buy for her. He had to experience challenges like his uncle forgetting to give him money or most of the stalls in the bazaar closed. It is difficult for him to reach and achieve it. Finally, he realized that love belongs to the older’s world. and is out of his reach. He is not mature enough to control everything. And his affection for Mangan’s sister is just an impression that makes him have to miss her.]]> 2023-03-21 17:35:34 UTC https://padlet.com/anhthuspta120201/yblnuyfvqy2rbv78/wish/2525816076 Question 3 lygiahien20022002 https://padlet.com/anhthuspta120201/yblnuyfvqy2rbv78/wish/2526386117 From my perspective, I don't think that the boy would be still hopeful with his love to Mangan's sister. He will realize that the love is just from one side , it means it is just unrequited love, there won't be any responses to her. He had wasted a lot of time to his hopeless love.And at his age, he is still too young to have a lover. I think after he returned home from Araby , he figures out that having money is very important to remain relationship. But now he has nothing, he is just a student from high school. I believe he will be more diligent and patient to follow his dream, his passion and he doesn't want to be despised like the way the shop assistant in the bazaar did to him.]]> 2023-03-22 02:11:58 UTC https://padlet.com/anhthuspta120201/yblnuyfvqy2rbv78/wish/2526386117 Question 2: traidatnam2000 https://padlet.com/anhthuspta120201/yblnuyfvqy2rbv78/wish/2526480912 “Gazing up into the darkness I was myself as a creature driven and derided by vanity, and my eyes burned with anguish and anger.”
Before the night at the Araby bazaar, He thought his arrival at Araby would be the end of his quest for the ideal, his quest for beauty. In keeping with his romantic nature he further said that he would bring a gift for his beloved. By so doing, he felt, his carrying of the pure and priceless chalice through a throng of foes would be over and it would finally reach its cherished goal. But all this high talk about himself and his mission came to nothingness when he reached Araby and found it to be almost deserted and plunged in darkness with a few sellers counting cash. Thus his romantic vision about Araby was broken to pieces. He realized that it was his vanity that brought him there; therefore, in my opinion, after this journey, he will awaken from the illusions and vanities that he has built. When the boy is confronted with hard reality in Araby, he obtains sharp insights regarding life and reality. He realises that life is not what he has dreamt of. These experiences would prepare him for his life as an adult. Thanks to this bazaar, the boy learns to constrict his imagination, to repress his emotions, to engage himself to the everyday practical concerns of life. The word ‘anger’ also implies that the boy’s search for escape will not stop here. He will continue his quest to visit many new locations, gain more important truths, and flourish. Perhaps in the future, he might explore different places to assess and reflect on himself again.]]> 2023-03-22 03:22:25 UTC https://padlet.com/anhthuspta120201/yblnuyfvqy2rbv78/wish/2526480912 Question 3: traidatnam2000 https://padlet.com/anhthuspta120201/yblnuyfvqy2rbv78/wish/2526525340
In this story, the boy creates an image of Magan's sister rather than realistically interpreting her. He becomes obsessed, afraid that schoolwork or interruptions from others will force him to stop thinking about her. This is despite the fact that Mangan’s sister seems to have no special interest in the narrator, only speaking to him once within the story, while the girl doesn't have any impression of him. After the narrator begins to dream of Mangan’s sister, he isolates himself—feels differentiated, even, in the strength of his affections—and seems to stop playing with the other children on his street, instead seeing them from afar while he thinks of her instead. Even though there was no response from the girl and no knowledge regarding bazaar, he chose to go for it despite the fact that it was incredibly late. As a result, when he became irritated with the reality at the bazaar, he was badly beaten. Yet he was the cause of all of this. After the bazaar, I think he will wake up and come out of the vanity, illustration he created for himself, but he will be less optimistic about his future with Magan's sister.]]> 2023-03-22 04:06:35 UTC https://padlet.com/anhthuspta120201/yblnuyfvqy2rbv78/wish/2526525340 Question 2: https://padlet.com/anhthuspta120201/yblnuyfvqy2rbv78/wish/2526540103 Before the night in Araby, I thought that going to Araby would be the end of my search for beauty. In keeping with his romantic nature, he added that he would bring a gift for his beloved. But all the lofty talk about himself and his mission came to naught when he arrived at Araby and found it almost deserted and dark with a few salesmen counting money. So, Faced with the harsh reality of Araby, in my view, the boy gained insights into life and reality. He realizes that life is not what he dreamed of. He also experiences that romantic desires do not align with Catholic Dublin values. The boy learns to limit his imagination, suppress his emotions, engage in everyday practical concerns of life.]]> 2023-03-22 04:24:13 UTC https://padlet.com/anhthuspta120201/yblnuyfvqy2rbv78/wish/2526540103 Question 1 - Vũ Hoàng Phương Dung https://padlet.com/anhthuspta120201/yblnuyfvqy2rbv78/wish/2526582583 Right after returning home from the bazaar, I think I might spend the whole night thinking about the reality, the society and about myself and try to face and accept it. The thing is I knew it at an early moment, but I just can’t accept all of that harsh truth. On the following days, I would act normal because all the imagination and desire from the beginning is inside my head and my heart. No one knows my real purpose of going to the Araby bazaar, no one will understand it, and I can’t name or explain it either. Maybe I would still be in love with Mangan’s sister, she will unexpectedly appear in my thoughts. But after being hit by reality, my imagination would be restrained, which means I might remind myself to try to get rid of any daydream. Maybe I still can’t help looking at her secretly but at the same time instead of letting myself float into imagination and escape from the harsh society, I would tell myself to stop doing that because I know there is rarely a result for this love. I would have a hard time preventing my feelings for Mangan’s sister. However, I know I have to after returning from that bazaar.]]> 2023-03-22 05:06:17 UTC https://padlet.com/anhthuspta120201/yblnuyfvqy2rbv78/wish/2526582583 Question 1 - Hoàng Thùy Trang tranghoangg03 https://padlet.com/anhthuspta120201/yblnuyfvqy2rbv78/wish/2526796939 When I got back from the Araby Bazaar, I would take some time to reflect on what had happened and consider whether it had been worthwhile. I need to back to reality and accept everything for the last time I have fallen into the blindness of love which I have always desired, I was obsessed with the image of the girl, and I could not do anything or focus on something else in my normal life. In addition, I also remind myself that Mangan's sister does not really have feelings for me either, what I do I imagine only comes from one side. Such a one-sided love is also unhappy and the one who expects and gets hurt and angry is just me. Maybe, it is unlikely to forget the image of her, but if I continue acting like this, this love also cannot have the result. Therefore, I have to face reality face to face, returning to the normal life as other boys the same age or my friends, playing games with them like they used to do before, hiding in the dark or playing and shouting around the alley that suddenly I have forgotten in the past time. ]]> 2023-03-22 08:37:08 UTC https://padlet.com/anhthuspta120201/yblnuyfvqy2rbv78/wish/2526796939 Question 1 https://padlet.com/anhthuspta120201/yblnuyfvqy2rbv78/wish/2526871365 If I were the boy, after returning, I would accept the truth and convince myself that this boring and tedious reality is inevitable. Dreams and illusions can only relieve me temporarily and I will still have to face the truth at some point. With the beautiful images about the love for Mangan’s sister and Araby that I created for myself, I just can escape from reality for some moments but not forever. I realize that I was misunderstood by the blindness of love and my expectation to come to a new and interesting place to escape from my daily life . Therefore, after returning home from the Araby bazaar, I will return to my own life, I will still like and consider Mangan's sister as a beloved friend as well as live in the age of a carefree boy. I think the most important thing is to live well and fulfill my own responsibilities instead of daydreaming about things which are far from reality.

In other words, the boy has grafted the English girl at the stall onto the girl that he thinks he is in love with. When he was looking at the porcelain vases and the flower tea-sets at a stall in Araby bazaar, he saw the girl flirting with two men. Ambiguous flirting -  flirting with more than one person sets him off because he notices that the girl’s tone that she spoke to him only because it was her duty, it was something that she feels she has to do. Remember how Mangan's sister, the girl he thinks he loves, spoke to him in the same tone as the girl in the booth? He realizes she doesn't like him and simply speaks to him because it's the decent thing to do. "Gazing into the darkness, I saw myself as a creature driven and derided by vanity, and my eyes burned with anguish and anger," he believes, understanding that the thing he has fantasized about for so long may have been superfluous. After returning from Araby, the boy will put an end to his fantasies about her - Mangan's sister.]]> 2023-03-22 11:19:15 UTC https://padlet.com/anhthuspta120201/yblnuyfvqy2rbv78/wish/2526980955 Question 3 : In your opinion, would the boy still be hopeful about his future with Mangan's sister ? - Nguyễn Minh Hòa https://padlet.com/anhthuspta120201/yblnuyfvqy2rbv78/wish/2527125848 In my opinion, the boy will not be hopeful about his future with Mangan's sister anymore. As we can see, in the whole story, the narrator always mentions his passion for the girl. From the window, on the street, face to face, each situation creates images. Of course, the image here is the girl. At this stage, the narrator shows the boy love for the girl, a stubborn love. He just only thinks about the most beautiful and nicest love he has when being loved with someone. But he does not mention it in reality. Therefore, at the end of the story,the narrator said that the boy is derided by vanity, and his eyes burned with anguish and anger. This detail proves that his trust for the girl was over, and he should shed light on it, not to be a disillusionment in life. So finally the whole story, James shows that he realized his romantic ideals and dream of bringing her - Mangan's sister, to become his lover were the illusion.]]> 2023-03-22 13:06:09 UTC https://padlet.com/anhthuspta120201/yblnuyfvqy2rbv78/wish/2527125848 Question 3: In your opinion, would the boy still be hopeful about his future with Mangan’s sister? https://padlet.com/anhthuspta120201/yblnuyfvqy2rbv78/wish/2527151524 The boy in James Joyce's short story "Araby" is in love with Mangan's sister, and his desire to impress her drives his visit to the bazaar. His experience at the bazaar, on the other hand, has left him disillusioned and disappointed, which may have an impact on his future hopes for a relationship with her.
After his experience at the bazaar, I doubt the boy would still be optimistic about his future with Mangan's sister. The story depicts a world in which dreams and illusions are easily shattered by reality, as demonstrated by the boy's experience at the bazaar.
He had seen the bazaar as a site of wonder and romance, but instead finds it to be a dull and depressing place, leaving him empty and disillusioned.
The youngster also seemed to understand that his feelings for Mangan's sister are all imaginary. Her name "sprang to my lips at moments in odd prayers and praises," he writes, implying that his obsession with her is more about glorified imagination than sincere attachment. The boy's disappointment at the bazaar might help him realize that his affections for Mangan's sister are based more on an idealistic image of her that he has created in his head than on a realistic appraisal of who she is as a person.
The boy's encounter with Mangan's sister at the bazaar is likely to have a significant impact on his future expectations for a connection with her. He can start to doubt the truth of his emotions and see how far his imaginations are from reality.]]> 2023-03-22 13:22:14 UTC https://padlet.com/anhthuspta120201/yblnuyfvqy2rbv78/wish/2527151524 Question1: NGUYEN NGOC GIA KHANH https://padlet.com/anhthuspta120201/yblnuyfvqy2rbv78/wish/2527293726 If i were that boy, I would spend time to isolated myself since i need to rebuild my mentality.

I personally lean toward to the second theory.]]> 2023-03-22 14:53:39 UTC https://padlet.com/anhthuspta120201/yblnuyfvqy2rbv78/wish/2527306851 Question3: Nguyen Ngoc Gia Khanh https://padlet.com/anhthuspta120201/yblnuyfvqy2rbv78/wish/2527316541 The boy’s relationship with Mangan's sister is just a crush from afar, and that he thinks of it as a love akin to religion only makes him seem more naive. Moreover, since Mangan's sister, refuses to love him back and instead ignores him. This crushes the boy and makes his hunger for her even more stronger. Therefore, i come up with 2 option: either the boy would still continuing to fall harder for her or put and end to his paranoid love and move on with his life.]]> 2023-03-22 14:59:17 UTC https://padlet.com/anhthuspta120201/yblnuyfvqy2rbv78/wish/2527316541 Question 3 https://padlet.com/anhthuspta120201/yblnuyfvqy2rbv78/wish/2527324208 Personally, I believe that the boy wouldn't be hopeful about his future with Mangan’s sister since he realizes that the world doesn’t care at all about his love. Once he determines to go to the Araby bazaar and buy a gift for his beloved, Mangan’s sister, the boy seems to encounter lots of obstacles that cause his journey to the bazaar to be delayed. The young boy is forced to wait for his uncle to return, rides an empty train, and pays the adult fee to get into the bazaar. When he eventually arrives at the bazaar, it is mostly closed, and the one open stall is managed by a young English woman selling porcelain tea cups and vases, not the exotic things or experiences he has hoped for.  As he approaches one of the few stalls open, he listens to the trivial conversation between a young woman and two young men; then he finds it similar to his brief conversation with Mangan’s sister. Moreover, when the lights at the bazaar are off, everything gradually darkens, and he realizes his efforts became useless and he will never win over the heart of his crush.

]]> 2023-03-22 15:04:09 UTC https://padlet.com/anhthuspta120201/yblnuyfvqy2rbv78/wish/2527324208 Question 2 4601701087 https://padlet.com/anhthuspta120201/yblnuyfvqy2rbv78/wish/2527325132 Maturation and realization are probably the two key words that I would like to mention when it comes to the boy’s attitude change after the night at the Araby bazaar. After promising Mangan’s sister a gift, it seems that nothing existed in his mind at that time except for his “dream girl” and the bazaar. In other words, the boy’s obsession with the girl resulted in his obsession with the gift and the bazaar. Once setting foot in Araby, the boy, however, painfully discovers that this place is not what he long yearned for. The bazaar turned out to be deserted and most part of the hall drowned in darkness with only few people gathering, which was undoubtedly far from his romantic fascination with Araby. Consequently, the boy realized the bitter truth that his pursuit of idealism and love is thwarted and simultaneously became conscious of his own vanity and foolishness, his unprofitable waste of time, the fact that Mangan’s sister felt no affection for him, and that there is no magical Araby in Ireland. Thus, I wholeheartedly believe that the boy would no longer sink into such vanity and certainly awake from the illusions that he had ever created. Moreover, after the journey, he was equipped with such invaluable insight from so-called harsh reality, which would fully prepare himself for life as an adult. And there is every possibility that in the upcoming years he may visit many other places, gain much more experience and make his own reflection of every steps he takes in life. ]]> 2023-03-22 15:04:42 UTC https://padlet.com/anhthuspta120201/yblnuyfvqy2rbv78/wish/2527325132 Question 2: In your opinion, how would the boy become in the future after the night at the Araby bazaar? 4601751190 https://padlet.com/anhthuspta120201/yblnuyfvqy2rbv78/wish/2527506172 It is obvious that the narrator would be depressed and suffer from his passive aggression after the bazaar journey. He had experienced his first coming-of-age event in such a negative state. However, it may be a great urge for him to put effort into his life-changing process in the future. On the one hand, the narrator’s observation of life would be gloomy and lack of belief at some certain points during his time. It is from the story Araby’s first point of view that his perspective towards his childhood appears to be anguishing and ambiguous. His reflection is lack of analysis of sequences of behaviors, emotions, which shows his depth deficiencies. On the other hand, he peacefully put readers in the picture of his youth and express his past emotions. Even though he had a not good background without parents, he, now, accepts his emotion and recollection, which shows development in wisdom. Moreover, from details in the story, the boy is described as a determined person with great pride. He is the representative of the wind of changes in North Richmond Street. In other words, there is a tendency that narrator would make every effort to gain better life control by getting out of his comfort zone. His disillusion may be a good turn and an opportunity to realize the value definition. Persons all overcome situations when they feel lack of motivation, get confused and question themselves. Nonetheless, these experiences contributes to our growth and remarkable milestones. The narrator in the future, shows his better status at the mean time through his calm expression. Additionally, “At night in my bed room and by day in the classroom her image came between me and the page I strove to read” and “I answered few questions in class”. At a result, these details shows necessity of disillusion for him to get back on track. It is through education could the narrator mature and attain better conditions.  Bazaar is the first experience in his life. Even though it didn’t come up to his expectations, but was still a breakthrough In conclusion, it is likely that the boy would become a mature man, having both great emotion and wisdom growth along with significant advancements.]]> 2023-03-22 16:59:22 UTC https://padlet.com/anhthuspta120201/yblnuyfvqy2rbv78/wish/2527506172 Question 2 https://padlet.com/anhthuspta120201/yblnuyfvqy2rbv78/wish/2550416395 The two adjectives I would probably use to describe the boy's attitude change following the night at the Araby bazaar are "maturation" and "realization." It appears that after making a present promise to Mangan's sister, the only things on his thoughts were the bazaar and his "dream girl." In other words, the youngster became fixated on the gift and the bazaar as a result of his obsession with the girl. The child painfully realizes, however, upon arriving in Araby that this location is not what he had long wished for. He was obviously far from his romantic obsession with Araby when the bazaar turned out to be empty and the most of the hall was lost in darkness with only a few people gathered.]]> 2023-04-11 16:20:13 UTC https://padlet.com/anhthuspta120201/yblnuyfvqy2rbv78/wish/2550416395 Question 1 https://padlet.com/anhthuspta120201/yblnuyfvqy2rbv78/wish/2550416905 Maturation and realization are probably the two key words that I would like to mention when it comes to the boy’s attitude change after the night at the Araby bazaar. After promising Mangan’s sister a gift, it seems that nothing existed in his mind at that time except for his “dream girl” and the bazaar. In other words, the boy’s obsession with the girl resulted in his obsession with the gift and the bazaar. Once setting foot in Araby, the boy, however, painfully discovers that this place is not what he long yearned for. The bazaar turned out to be deserted and most part of the hall drowned in darkness with only few people gathering, which was undoubtedly far from his romantic fascination with Araby. Consequently, the boy realized the bitter truth that his pursuit of idealism and love is thwarted and simultaneously became conscious of his own vanity and foolishness, his unprofitable waste of time, the fact that Mangan’s sister felt no affection for him, and that there is no magical Araby in Ireland. Thus, I wholeheartedly believe that the boy would no longer sink into such vanity and certainly awake from the illusions that he had ever created. Moreover, after the journey, he was equipped with such invaluable insight from so-called harsh reality, which would fully prepare himself for life as an adult. And there is every possibility that in the upcoming years he may visit many other places, gain much more experience and make his own reflection of every steps he takes in life.

He will realize that the love is just from one side , it means it is just unrequited love, there won't be any responses to her. He had wasted a lot of time to his hopeless love.And at his age, he is still too young to have a lover. I think after he returned home from Araby , he figures out that having money is very important to remain relationship. But now he has nothing, he is just a student from high school. I believe he will be more diligent and patient to follow his dream, his passion and he doesn't want to be despised like the way the shop assistant in the bazaar did to him.

Dreams and illusions can only relieve me temporarily and I will still have to face the truth at some point. With the beautiful images about the love for Mangan’s sister and Araby that I created for myself, I just can escape from reality for some moments but not forever. I realize that I was misunderstood by the blindness of love and my expectation to come to a new and interesting place to escape from my daily life . Therefore, after returning home from the Araby bazaar, I will return to my own life, I will still like and consider Mangan's sister as a beloved friend as well as live in the age of a carefree boy. I think the most important thing is to live well and fulfill my own responsibilities instead of daydreaming about things which are far from reality.

He continued, in keeping with his romantic disposition, that he would bring a present for his sweetheart. But when he got at Araby and discovered it nearly deserted, dark, and with a few salesmen counting money, all the lofty discourse about himself and his objective came to nothing. So, in my opinion, the boy gained perspective on life and reality after being exposed to the harsh realities of Araby. He acknowledges that life is not what he had envisioned. Additionally, he discovers that romantic aspirations conflict with Dublin's Catholic ideals. The boy learns to restrain his imagination, control his emotions, and think on daily necessities.]]> 2023-04-11 16:23:53 UTC https://padlet.com/anhthuspta120201/yblnuyfvqy2rbv78/wish/2550420740
