My ARABY

Our second litt share talked about the story ARABY. It was written by James Joyce. At first, I wasn't able to understand it well since it's too long and wordy. I just can't get what he meant because the words overwhelmed me. Anyway, I would like to explain the theme of the story by alluding it to my life.

I have so many araby in my life. It's a situation wherein I thought I'd be able to get something I yearned for, but it didn't come to me. Something that I have expected to happen but didn't happen. Someone whom I cherished but didn't cherish me in return. In fact, in every stage of my life my araby just kept on piling like a mountainous trash. I believe the writer of this story wanted me to see that life cannot just be a bed of roses. Life can also be so tragic and misfit likewise, it can also be a happy experience.

I hope that I'd be able to freely share my arabys in the future, here in my blog. So please wait for that.
