Lord of the Flies explained some things that we now see today, such as leading or being the follower and being good and evil. There are something's I'd like to point out though, which is the fact that the kids were between ages of 6 and 12 I believe, and they had no grown up. They were thriving to surive with food and shelter. They had no one to tell them to do, and they were lost in control, which then leads them to do the unbelievable. So answering your question, the message is relevant.

<u>Answer:</u>
<em><u>Descriptions of the setting, particularly the names of the streets, indicate "Araby" does not take place in the United States.*</u></em>
<em><u></u></em>
<em>*See explanation for a more in-depth answer</em>

<u>Explanation:</u>
There are subtle ‘hints,’ or details, presented throughout the story that show “Araby” is not taking place in the United States. For starters, the story states these two specific street names: “North Richmond Street” and “Buckingham Street.” Now, these are two street names that America does have. There is a Richmond Street located in Palmdale, California and there is a Buckingham Street in Fullerton, California. Based on this information alone one might (unknowingly & incorrectly) assume that the story is taking place in America. However, there is one sentence in the story that reveals this story could not have taken place in the United States. Read the first sentence of “Araby”:
<em>“North Richmond Street, being blind, was a quiet street except at the hour when the Christian Brothers' School set the boys free.”</em>
<em />
According to this sentence, there is a Christian Brothers’ School located on North Richmond Street. Only one place in the world has an all boys school located on a street called North Richmond. That place is Dublin, Ireland. Therefore, based on the gathered information, it is safe to say that this story takes place in Dublin, Ireland; not the United States.
<em>FUN FACT:</em>
<em>The Christian Brothers’ School on North Richmond Street changed its name to O’Connell Secondary School.</em>
When they were reading <em>Gone with the Wind</em>, Johnny points out that the characters in the novel remind him of Dally. Johnny feels that Dally is so real. He thinks that Dally is just like his big brother because Dally was always there for johnny. Dally always kept him away from troubles because he cares for Johnny. In Dally's world, Johnny is the only person that he cares for. He doesn't want Johnny to be cold-hearted and mean like himself. So Johnny feels that Dally is just like his big brother.
