Compare and Contrast Araby and A&P

For this activity, you will need to read John Updike’s “A&P” with great care and compare it with James Joyce’s “Araby.” In at least 500 words, compare or contrast two (2) or more significant literary elements from each of the stories you read for this module, discussing how those elements contribute to each story’s theme. As you have been doing, you should think about the characters, how they move the story forward, or how their setting in time and place affects their actions, never forgetting that these are fictional characters constructed by an author.Keep in mind that your essay should follow one of the techniques for writing a comparison/contrast essay, and your writing should adhere to APA, so when you quote from a story or if you include any additional research, make sure you cite your work appropriately.
