On page 27, 28 and 29, the little prince and the narrator were talking about what the sheep eat, but the prince is trying to protect the flower he loves, because he is worry about that the sheep might eat the flower. But he didn’t tell the narrator because he didn’t wanted him to know about the flower he loves. He just wants to protect the flower he loves so badly and doesn’t want her to get hurt or sad. So he kept asking the same question that the narrator didn’t know, so then the narrator got mad so then the prince was mad too because he is really worried and the narrator didn’t help him. I think the reason he did that was because he was just worry and scared because he didn't wanted to lose her and wants to stay with her, but he went on a trip so then he was mad at himself that he didn’t stay with

In the story, “[the princess] with a sweet and powerful impulse to comfort [the king], she started from her chair and… threw her arms affectionately about his knees.” She was turned to gold because she wanted to comfort him, showing her affection and kindness.

The ending of James Joyce’s “Araby” is certain to leave its reader reeling. The final scene, in which the young protagonist fails in his mission to purchase a prize for the girl he loves, drips with disappointment. The reader feels a profound melancholy which matches the protagonist’s own, an impressive feat given the story’s short length and the lack of description, or even a name, given to the boy. How does Joyce arrive at this remarkable ending? By utilizing the trappings of the Boy Meets Girl and Quest “masterplots” in his story only to reveal the story as an Initiation, Joyce creates an experience for his readers that mirrors that of the protagonist.
