In my person opinion I believe that this quote was written to reflect how we all act when we have fallen deep into love. In my personal experience I have noticed that we all become weak and extremely vulnerable during the time in which we have recently become enamored with another. We lose sight of most if not everything else around us and within our lives except for the one who holds the key to our hearts. We all become obsessed and insane and everything begins to revolve around the one we love especially our happiness and self worth. However I believe that this quote from the story Araby is addressing this topic and attempting to convey the message that we also become creatures of vanity when we have fallen deep within Love's grasp meaning that we lose sight on what is truly important and focus on something that is not particularly important which in Jame's Joyce's opinion is love. I think that the author believes that Love is a trap that one can only fall in like the small boy in Araby.

This quote relates to Crane's worldview and the fate of the oiler because it represent the fact that one can be so close to their hopes, dreams and goals and yet be so far due to the possibilities of what might go wrong. I think that this is a statement on the way that our American school system is currently operating due to the amount and importance of tests.

In my personal opinion I believe Sammy's actions at the end of A&P are not only foolish but an expression of desperation that lies deep within all of us. Sammy's motives for quitting his low paying job is to capture the attention of three young wealthy ladies that where his former customers. I personally interpret the final paragraph as a message to the reader that being to never quit on anything Especially if it plays a key role in your life.

In my personal opinion I believe that Sammy made a horrible decision on quitting his job at A&P and it will change his life drastically. Sammy quit his job due to impulsiveness and a desperate desire to capture a group of girl's attention. I think that Sammy is not very smart or able to capture and control his emotions and desires because he made a hasty decision without thinking it through. Immature people do this while mature people think their actions triggered by their desires thoroughly through. I interpret the final paragraph as a statement to A&P's readers to not make impulsive decisions because they could leave to a long time period of suffering. I also interpret the final paragraph as a message that we are all not as important as we think we might be.

In my personal opinion the Montressor coat of arms represents the idea that Family is more important then Friends and when one crosses a family or one of it's members they will be punished my being stripped of their life. I also believe this due to what happens at the end of the story.

I could feel the adrenaline beginning to race through my body as the music in Spanish blasted from the speakers down below us. It was early December, the air outside was harshly cold and there was snow on the ground already. Inside everyone was dancing, eating and having a good time for it was my befriend, Deyi's, 14th birthday party. As the music blasted we sat next to each other, two innocent gay 13 year olds who just came out of the closet. We talked for a just a short period of time before we made the unanimous decision that the music was to loud to hold any kind of conversation near. We walked over to my best friend's bedroom and sat down on her bed, as I was her best friend and he her cousin. We exchanged conversation for over an hour before we made our way downstairs to dance. By the end of the night we where drenched in sweat from so much dancing. As we stepped outside I could feel the cold air slap me in the face. The next day he texted me and we loled back and forth on the text line all day before talking all night. A few days later he invited me with him to see the Harlem Globe Trotters at the Basket Ball Hall of Fame in Springfield before taking me out for a small dinner. After that point we began a relationship which unfortunately ended bitterly in early May. I no longer have any contact with him.
