The first story I really didn't like. It was dull and hard for me to follow. The women were vastly different and as time passed they seem to grow farther apart. They were originally innocent and young but society seemed to change them and they outlooks/opinions. As far as characterization goes, Roberta seemed to live more on the edge and liked to think of herself as part of the worlds upper class and Twyla had to work for everything she ever had. They both ended up living meaningful lives but will remain in argument about their pasts until the end of both of their lives.
Araby was slightly better than the last story but still fairly uninteresting. The boy was hitting puberty and was infatuated with this other boys sister. He builds her up to be this supreme goddess , but when he meets her he can't really spit out the words. She mentions a bazaar and he jumps on the opportunity to impress her. He goes and is very disappointed and then it basically ends. The main character is the only one who we know the feelings of. He is the average teenage boy and is lovestruck. The girl is fairly shallow and their is not much too her.
