A Public Store Half Was Correct By John Updike

Ewww! Three girls walking through a public store half dressed is very inappropriate in the story John Updike. Lengel, the boss, agreed that the girls were inappropriate, and he wasn’t going to put up with their foolishness. Unlike Sammy, he Enjoyed what had flashed before his eyes. Never enter a public store half naked!

The Three girls appearances in the store caught many eyesights. As the girls walked down the isles, a woman continued to give them ugly looks. The text states,”A Few House-Slaves In Pin Curlers Even Looked Around After pushing Their Carts Past To Make Sure What They Had seen was Correct”(Updike). If they were actually at a beach dressed as so in their “Bikini Bottoms,” they probably wouldn’t have caused as many distractions.
Stunned at the way the girl looked in her bikini, he had forgotten about the long line that was waiting for him to check them out. All this while, the customers had been showing up with their carts but, you know, sheep, seeing a scene, they had all bunched up on Stokesie, who shook open a paper bag as gently as a peeling peach, not wanting to miss a word(Updike). Sammy felt really sorry for the girls, so in his crazy mind he decided that he had to do what’s right.”I Quit,” Sammy said really quickly hoping to catch the girls attention while walking out of store. They keep right on going, into the electric eye; the door flies open and they flicker across the lot in their car leaving Sammy with Lengel and a kink in his eye(Updike). “ You didn’t have to embarrass them,” Sammy said. “ It was they were embarrassing us,” said Lengel.Trying to go after the girls before they left, Sammy the big hero made a sudden move. As he ran out the door he looked around for the girls wishing they would appear, but they was gone and Sammy was now at the wrong. He quit his job for nothing and he wished he could go back. He looked back into the big windows, and while looking back his stomach kind of fell(Updike). For advice, never let anyone get you out of shell for something they’ve done wrong. Although he felt like he was doing the right thing, he ended up doing something terrible, and i would’ve been highly upset at the stomach
