Lucy Character
Lucy is a young girl whose wealthy parents send her to camp every summer. She is adventurous and free thinker, not caring what others think about her, unlike her friend Lois. She becomes unhappy with her life in Chicago because of problems with her parents. We never know why or how she disappears when the campers go on the canoe trip. The similarities Lucy and Mrs. Das share with each other is that they are both female who lives in US. As the story begins to grow more intense we find out that these two females aren’t honest. For example, Mrs. Das lied about her affair that happened eight years ago that she cheated on her husband with his friend. Mrs. Das became pregnant with a child and hide this secret from her husband.
Setting Araby
Setting and story are closely integrated in "Araby." The alleyway, the busy commercial street, the open door of Mangan’s house, the room in back where the priest died, the way to school—all are parts of the locations which shape the life and consciousness of the narrator. Before the narrator goes to Araby, it is his thoughts about this exotic, mysterious location that crystallize for him his adoration of Mangan’s sister, who is somehow locked into his "Eastern enchantment" (paragraph 12) of devotion and unfulfilled love. At the end the lights are out, the place is closing down for the night, and the narrator recognizes Araby as a symbol of his own lack of reality and unreachable hopes. Seemingly, all his aims are dashed by his adolescent lack of power and by the drunken and passive-aggressive uncle. Ireland Dublin
Plot
The year is 1894. The place is North Richmond Street in Ireland's largest city, Dublin. The street dead-ends at an empty house of two stories, says the unidentified narrator, a boy of about twelve who lives on the street with his uncle and aunt. A priest was once a tenant in the house they occupy. After he died, the narrator explored his quarters
Character
Boy of about twelve who becomes infatuated with the sister of his friend, Mangan. Although she hardly notices him and converses with him only once, he fantasizes about her and tells her he will buy her a gift if he attends a bazaar called Araby. He seems to regard her as noble and pure of heart, like a maiden in a tale of chivalry. His trip to the bazaar to find her the gift then becomes something of a knight's quest on behalf of his lady fair.
Isolated, crush, shame, reflection, irish, male, age 13, religion, journey, attraction, orphan Alienation and Loneliness: the boy tells no one about his feelings for Mangan's sister--not his friends, his family, nor the girl herself. He is isolated in his crush and in his illusion, and later, in his awakening or epiphany.

P.O.V First person
Symbolism
“Araby” watches from his parlor window for the appearance of Mangan’s sister. The suspense for these young boys centers in that space separating the interior life from the exterior life. Windows also mark the threshold between domestic space and the outside world, and through them the characters in Dubliners observe their own lives as well as the lives of others.
The bazaar is another form of symbolism which allow the boy to go on adventure. In Joyce's short story, the young narrator views Araby as a symbol of the mystique and allure of the Middle East. When he crosses the river to attend the bazaar and purchase a gift for the Mangan girl, it is as if he is crossing into a foreign land, like a knight-errant, on a mission on behalf of his lady fair. But his trip to the bazaar disappoints and disillusions him, awakening him to the harsh reality of life around him
Blind Street: Street that dead-ends. In the story and in real life, Dublin's North Richmond Street is a dead end, as Joyce points out in the first four words of "Araby"—perhaps to suggest that the boys playing on it are going nowhere. They will grow up to live in the same dreary Dublin, with its dull weather, dull people, and dull houses. In the third paragraph, the narrator describes the depressing atmosphere:
Apple tree: In this story the apple symbolize knowledge, temptation and the fall of man and sin.
Praying: religious concept.
Theme
The principal idea of "Araby" is that youthful love is childish and foolish, but that it is also normal, overpowering, and creative. Ideally, memories like those the narrator is describing about his infatuation for Mangan’s sister should be a cause for fondness, mingled perhaps with wonder and also amusement. Much of the narrator’s memory exhibits just such beauty.

Setting death by Landscape
The story took place in wilderness, nature and the campsite. Canada. The story took place after world war II.
The story starts and end in modern setting in Lois’s apartment which over looks lake Ontario in Canada.
The flashbacks take place in this camp that is located in the Canadian wilderness. The camp is for young girls.
Plot
An older women who now lives alone remembers her time with a childhood friend. Lois went to a summer camp when she was younger and met her friend lucy. While on a canoe trip, Lucy disappears. No one ever finds. Lois spends the rest of her life collecting landscape painting and believes that through these paintings, Lucy is still with her.

Symbolism.
I believe that the symbolism in this story is the paintings. They seem to be a constant reminder of the past; a past of sadness, loss of a friend, and lack of closure. When we read “Death by Landscape” we are able to picture the girls on their campsite and we can envision the wilderness around them, which makes it much more interesting and gives it that effect of realism. Throughout the story, we can clearly see how nature is presented as a negative role in Lois’ life. Her fear towards it is represented from the beginning, with her assumption that there was something more to her paintings. Atwood attempts to show the readers a symbolic perspective of the story, with describing each scene of the wilderness, and why Lois may have chose the paintings that she did. Though her walls are filled with landscape paintings, Lois’ inability to reconnect with the wilderness appears to be connected to her regrets about Lucy’s death.
Window
In this short story the window symbolize is a way of escaping from reality, or to finding things out or revealing.
The mood in the story is depressing which draws attention to small details such as how the nature was described in dull, dark colors to show sadness.

Theme
The theme of wilderness can also be used in a more calming manner as an escape from the harshness of society. The image of nature can perhaps be interpreted as the pureness of the world as well, and as forests are removed, the image of the world becomes tainted.
When traumatic events occur in people’s lives, it often shapes how that person turns out as an adult. Their pasts can affect them positively or negatively, and this depends on how that person copes with it
Style and tone
The story is told in flashback and in past tense until Lucy disappearance which will change to present tense. The tone is mysterious and depressing.
Characters
Lucy is a young girl whose wealthy parents send her to camp every summer. She is adventurous and free thinker, not caring what others think about her, unlike her friend Lois. She becomes unhappy with her life in Chicago because of problems with her parents. We never know why or how she disappears when the campers go on the canoe trip. She is not honest person, her physical appreance is with blonde hair, unhappy,
Lois
A 65 years old who looks back to her teenage years, isolated, crush, reflection, journey, female, values, Canadian, family, Interpreter of Maladies: Setting Zoo: change in the environment such as in the US animals are kept inside and locked but in India the monkey are everywhere and free. Car: most of the story take place in the car. Sun temple: Probably the clearest example of symbolism is the Temple of the Sun. The drying of a river created the harsh, dry environment surrounding the temple, which is a symbol of life. Lahiri appears to suggest that the temple began to deteriorate due to the environmental changes. Symbols Sensual images run throughout the story, supporting Kapasi’s self-deception that he may have a romance with Mrs. Das. The carvings on the temple of naked bodies making love and the recurring images describing Mrs. Das’s sensuous attire juxtaposed with the frumpy images of Kapasi’s wife serve to create sexual tension in Kapasi’s mind.

The Camera
Mr. Das’s camera represents his inability to see the world clearly or engage with it. Because he views the world through his camera, Mr. Das misses the reality of the world around him, both in his marriage and in the scenes outside the cab
Puffed rice, insubstantial and bland, represents Mrs. Das’s mistakes and careless actions. Physically, Mrs. Das is young and attractive, but she is spiritually empty. She does not love her children or husband and is caught in the boredom of her life as a housewife
The reader can interpret the erotic images on the wheels of the chariot as symbols of marital union (97). The whole image of the temple suggests a link between the failing marriages of both parties and the crumbling of their lives. A loveless marriage provides the perfect environment for feelings of pain and loneliness that both Mr. Kapasi and Mrs. Das experience

Characters
Mr. Kapasi is no typical character: he is educated, works two jobs in which he uses his lingual abilities, and lives daily without affection from his wife. Mr. Kapasi plays an important role in galvanizing the plot and ultimately conveying the beauty and cruelty of life. He is integral in expressing the differences and similarities between the tourists and himself.
Theme
How the society can classify each group of people based on their race, statues and job.
Plot
The story is about an Indian family who has been living in the states through generation to generation visit india for the first time with their family. Mr. Das hired Mr. Kapsi as their driver to drive them to the Sun Temple.
