After reading Araby i thought of Aladin. Aladin thinks about Jasmyn ever since he laid eyes on her and he knew he couldnt have her because she was a princess and he was just a street rat. He tries to become a prince and she still doesnt like him. It seems like in Araby that he really really loves her but she doesnt pay much attention to him. He even wants to get her a pretty tea set. Even though you dont find out what happens I'm guessing the story would turn out like Aladin. The girl wouldnt want her love bought, she hopefully would be like Jasmyn and just want him as him and him only. I didnt like how the story ended, it didnt end very happy. But then life doesnt always end happy. I liked how the story described everything, I saw an image with every discription. Another part of the story reminded me of Aladin. When he goes to look at the tea set and the British woman goes to ask him if he needed anything but her tone was not encouraging like she knew he couldnt afford it or something. Then she continued to watch him. Its like the street rat that people have to watch and know doesnt have alot of money.
