    The story A&P written by John Updike reminded me of a regular American life. Updike transforms this seemingly ordinary locale store into an intense battleground; where the struggle for power and freedom plays out in the aisles. Updike title’s the story after the grocery store to emphasize that the setting holds an important role in American life. The grocery store setting is worth observing and writing about since it represents a commonplace that modern civilians go to purchase their necessities

    Malina Janssen English 1320 Danny Peters March 2nd‚ 2015 Analysis from the three stories In the story A&P by John Updike‚ it kind of made me feel uncomfortable and confused. I wasn’t completely sure about whether or not the narrator‚ which was the guy at the cash register‚ quit because he liked the one main girl or because he was really offended. This story just seems like it was written to entertain but not really to uphold a purpose towards anything. If anything the one thing I got out of this

So we know by this wording that as a Christian and a follower
