In what way does the following line from James Joyce’s araby contribute to the symbolism of the story?

the partial light reflects the sense of balance that the narrator seeks but finds missing in his "blind" street and dark neighborhood.

Explanation:

the narrator is constantly seeking balance in his life, but ultimately failing to find it. he seeks light in the form of mangan's sister and thinks she will finally give him what he needs, however, the darkness in his life is still overpowering.

many battles and wars (such as the one at gettysburg), are commemorated by statues or monuments, with some areas preserved as monuments and national parks. do you think this contradicts the message of "grass"? in at least 200 words, explain your thinking and cite evidence from the poem to support your opinion.
