"A&P"
By: John Updike
This story was quite interesting to me. At the beginning I couldn't really grasp what was going on. Sammy was an interesting character, and I liked the way he described the girls. He said that the leader of the group was "The Queen" or "Queenie" and the rest of the girls was "the sheep". Another character I thought was interesting was the Chubby girl. Sammy had an odd liking to this girl saying that she had a "good tan, a sweet broad soft looking can.." I got the assumption that he may be into "chunky girls". Another question that was brought to my attention was, how old he was? Alot of things didn't seem to go together through out this story, which made me have to go over and read it twice. I was confused by the Stokesie character. It startled me when he "Oh Daddy" to Sammy. Other than that, I thought that it was very bold of Sammy to quit his job just because of the way his boss talked to the girls. I wonder what made him want to quit? He probably had premeditated about quitting and was just waiting for the right time. I found it strange the connection he had with these girls.
