Araby was the first short story I read for this class, and Im glad it was. It set a very serious tone that I think provided some intensity thats a nice way to introduce creative writing. There are moments in life one would want to capture and keep forever, not because they were the most joyous or life changing- but because they are simply poetic and real if approached at the right perspective.
This story was told through the eyes of a hopeless romantic, stuck in infatuation with a girl he hardly ever spoke to. The descriptions of details in the setting were so beautifully done that you could feel the ache and longing this young boy had for this girl, one I'm sure almost anyone could relate to whe thinking back to a first crush or relationship. This beginning moments are so special in developing and thickening the plot.
