<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>

<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>
Answer:
The blacks in America were deemed inferior and only seen as someone lesser, like a young boy among adults. Maybe, this is one reason why Wright uses the word "boy" in his title.
Explanation:
Richard Wright's memoir "Black Boy" presents the author's childhood and also growing up years as a black man in the American South. The book deals with themes of growing up, racism, family, and also a sense of trying to find his identity.
The use of the word "boy" in the title is ironic because Wright may be describing his childhood experiences but at the same time, the memoir covers well beyond his childhood years too. This may also have to do with his feeling of still being a kid despite being an adult.
Also important is how the blacks were perceived by the whites, the "superior" whites. Though same in all senses, blacks were hardly accepted by the whites as their own or equals, and more like inferior and lesser than them. This can also be one reason why Wright uses the word "boy", as a generalization of how his black people were perceived by the whites.
