Statement B
What the boy is going through is very painful, yet I understand what he does and why he does it. Pain has an effect on every decision the boy makes in this story. When he says "eyes were often full of tears" (Joyce 288), he reveals the pain of not being around this girl he admires. He is very interested in the girl, which is obvious through the story, but almsot grows an obsession by the end of it. As an audience we may think this is foolish, or even creepy, but he could not control his feelings. He would wait outside her door, until she woke, and followed her around as much as posible. Closer to the end of story he realizes what he was doing is wrong, and shows maturity. By the end of the story I see him as crossing through adulthood, he went from immature, to mature, and realized what he has done wrong.
