It discusses how Joyce uses the stages of life to represent the paralysis afflicting Dublin at the time.

Legends
A legend is a narrative that blends fact and fiction about people, events, places, or natural features. Legends originated from the Latin word "Legenda," meaning "things to read," and were used to describe stories about saints that were read in church services. Legends differ from myths in that myths interpret nature while legends idealize history, myths involve gods and goddesses while legends can feature animals or objects, and legends are specific to one or two localities while myths are found universally. Legends can strengthen children's faith, teach history and morality, develop imagination, and introduce culture.
Tom Sawyer
Mark Twain's 1876 novel The Adventures of Tom Sawyer follows the boyhood adventures of Tom Sawyer in Hannibal, Missouri, the town along the Mississippi River where Twain grew up. Twain drew from his own experiences growing up in the 1840s for the characters and setting of the novel. The novel is a coming-of-age story and bildungsroman that uses humor and satire to depict Tom's moral and social maturation, though it only covers Tom's childhood and not his development into adulthood as Twain had originally intended.
