A coming of age story is a genre of literature, and film that focuses on the growth of a protagonist from youth to adult hood(1). This is like the development of a child. I feel both “Rocking Horse winner” and “Araby” are coming of age stories. I feel this because they talk about his past and now he is grown up. Both of the stories involve children and them growing up. In a coming of age the protagonist experiences pivotal events that lead him to adult hood(1). With the story Araby the narrator is talking about a time in his life when he meet a girl he like. Araby is about young love, adventure and a reality check. On page 957 talks about the past and who use to be in there house. This is showing time change and how things have changed since
