| �A & P�
~ John Updike � Story is from the first person point of view o Mostly a psychological style (all the other element become secondary to the thought process) � Processing of reasoning steps up when setting takes a back burner � When in this process, symbols become important � Symbolically o His stand for manhood o His social stand � Sammy socially rejects his position o His position is the working clan (Lengal, Sammy�s parents, and everyone in the store is part of this class) � He sees down one isle (this is his world) � The story has run on sentences. Sammy�s thoughts, just rambling. Thoughts that are tied together. � By calling her a queen � he separates her from the group � Sheep � everybody is not distinguishable, follow the leader o Watch the till, if mistake they get angry (there power) � Girls went against the path � Everybody�s luck begins to run out � Lengal gives social structure to the story o Town � not decent if not covered up � Working class � do everything the same because they�ve always done it that way (doesn�t make it right) � Sammy defends the girls by quitting � rebels against the social structure |
