    The Bread of Salt Summary

    The story is about the teenage boy who buy pan de sal or “Bread of Salt” because of its
    wonderful flavor. Every day he walks by the house of the old Spaniard’s niece Aida with her
    blue skirt and white middy dress and it turns to develop his admiration towards her. He could
    follow her everyday to school. He would also think about how he would confess his feelings for
    her during classes. He joins Pete Saez’ private band Minviluz Orchestra. One of the reason he
    joined was to save money to buy a brooch for Aida. Also it was his dream to be a violinist
    although his Aunt did want him to pursue his passion.

    One night when the band was performing, the boy did something embarrassing while
    eating with his band members and he noticed that Aida saws him and some of his food split on
    his shirt. He tried to walked out in shame, He was probably thinking that because of what he had
    done, there is no chance for him to get liked back by Aida. Pete led him home and passes by
    baker’s on the way. They ordered pan de sal but the bread still not ready.

    Araby Summary

     young boy who is similar in age and temperament to those in "The Sisters" and "An
    Encounter" develops a crush on Mangan's sister, a girl who lives across the street. One evening
    she asks him if he plans to go to a bazaar (a fair organized, probably by a church, to raise money
    for charity) called Araby. The girl will be away on a retreat when the bazaar is held and therefore
    unable to attend. The boy promises that if he goes he will bring her something from Araby.

    The Similarities of these two stories are talks about a teenage boy who both deeply fall in
    love to a girl. Gonzales and Joyce were the narrators of the story, and they were both used First
    person Point of View, telling the story from their own point of view. They express their personal
    emotions for either themselves or their characters. It also talks how the writer wants to convey
    the experience to the reader. The stories also both used imagery through the senses of sound,
    sight and touch to express the main character’s feelings. Both Gonzale’s and Joyce's point-of-
    view strategies are thereby allows the reader to examine the feelings of his young protagonists
    while experiencing those feelings in all their immediate, overwhelming pain. Because in Araby,
    the protagonist were ends in Gazing up into the darkness, where the narrator says, "I saw myself
    as a creature driven and derided by vanity; and my eyes burned with anguish and anger” same
    with the story Bread of Salt, The author said “the bread was not yet ready. The bread symbolizes
    the boy. He was not yet ready to face the real world. The stories were both implies the blinded
    romantic desires of the protagonist, but in the end, their eyes are opened to life’s harsh realities.
    The stories are both cliff-hanging were the author tries to convey the reader to end the story by
    their own.
    The main lesson of the story is that people shouldn’t be afraid to be judged,
    because that’s just how it is. Being judged is normal and yes it hurts. Society
    slaps people with judgment, but that’s okay, as long as you don’t change who
    you are for the society.
