Arabi

The story Arabi is about a boy who falls in love with one of his sisters friends. The girl he likes in this story seems like the typical pretty girl, the girl everyone crushes on. The boy is the main character and was made to seem round and dynamic, whereas all other characters carry little to no details and are flat. The boy seems to be quiet and he keeps to himself, but throughout the story he becomes so infatuated with this girl that she becomes the only thing on his mind. When it comes to relationships it is commonly known that the male generally makes the first move, but the boy in this story seems to be to shy to make a move or he may lack the confidence. Towards the end the boy begins to doubt that he ever had a chance with the girl and feels dumb for trying to pursue her. I feel that the characterization in this story was well thought out, however it was only for one character.
