February 19‚ 2013 An Explication of John Updike’s “A&P” “The sheep pushing their carts down the aisle -- the girls were walking against the usual traffic (not that we have one-way signs or anything) -- were pretty hilarious. You could see them‚ when Queenie ’s white shoulders dawned on them‚ kind of jerk‚ or hop‚ or hiccup‚ but their eyes snapped back to their own baskets and on they pushed.
