1			Read this review of Radiohead's album Kid A, in which the author connects the album to Joyce's Finnegans Wake. Even if you don't know or like Radiohead, what do you make of the comparison of a rock band to James Joyce? Even if you don't know or like Finnegans Wake, can you make any links from that work to "Araby" just from reading this review and studying the short story?
2			Click here and read a poem or two by Joyce. Do you notice anything in common with "Araby"? How are the poems and the short story different? Do the notes following the poems provide any insight?
