Equal, or Completely Different?
(Three Messages from the Short Story Araby by James Joyce)
Kids often times are some of the most creative people ever. They come up with insanely crazy ideas that nobody would think of, for just some little simple problem. Sometimes they go outside the box with their ideas just to have fun. As people get older, they often lose this creative part of their mind, they tend to just start going through the motions. When they get older they begin to look at the kids, they don’t get where they come up with these ideas and they are just mind blown by it. They think that the kids are just being dumb and trying to make things harder than they need to be, so they come up with ideas and overrule what the kid says. James …show more content…
Immediately in the story the kid is having thoughts on this girl that he thinks is beautiful. He is wondering how he can win her over.

The boy wants to go to the place early, that doesn’t happen. He wants to get money from his dad so he can buy something, and he does get some money. Only problem is that when he gets there, he realizes he doesn’t have enough. Throughout the story he is continually let down. In the movie After Earth this happens to the kid in there as well. He wants to become a ranger, but keeps getting told he isn’t good enough. You see stuff like this all of the time in movies and other books, always scrutinizing how people have failures in life. Not a whole lot of it looks to the bright side, and most of the time it happens continually through the
