The Analysis of the Point of View in John Updike’s “A&P” John Updike’s "A&P" narrates a good story that most of its readers get caught up in the flow and attractiveness of its content.

Interpretation of a short story Although I find the story A&P by John Updike to be entertaining with some comedic interplay‚ I mostly see this story as a teenage drama that is played out through the eyes of a young man named Sammy. This is a story set in the early 1960’s of a typical teenage boy’s indifferent feelings toward his job‚ until one particular afternoon. John Updike’s development of characters and his use of diction and imagery are great elements that make this story entertaining

Thesis: “A&P” examines how Sammy quits his job due to his overall immaturity‚ flagrant disrespect and disparaging criticism towards others. In “A&P‚” Sammy seems to be very critical of co-workers and customers. His attitude as a cashier is very demeaning towards co-workers and customers. He suggests that the shoppers are like “sheep pushing their carts down the aisle” (Updike 149). Expressing his thoughts in this manner conveys just how he feels about his workplace.
