A&P Brandon LaLonde The short story A&P is, at face value, very uninteresting and lackluster. It follows the story of a cashier at a grocery store who quits his job after he witnesses his manager scold three beautiful women. One of the parts that is the most interesting is the basic plot. I believe that within this utterly basic plot is the key to unlocking the meaning behind this story. Why else would John Updike write this short story?
It contained a dozen purple figs, fringed around with their rich, green leaves. Maman-Nainane is a formal person in this story. Maman-Nainaine muslin cap standing like an aureole about her white, placid face. The last polarities candidness versus careful in this story, that Maman-Nainane is a careful person in this story. Maman-Nainaine is surprised she arches her eyebrows, and she exclaims, “How early the figs have ripened this year.” Babette she is a candidness person in this story, Babette replies, “I think they have ripened very late.” Chopin is not simply remarking here that time passes slowly for young people, and quickly for old people.
After Kevin Brooks's three earlier books, Martyn Pig, Lucas and Kissing the Rain, readers will expect great things of Candy: a story as sharp as the title is sweet, with something dark lurking inside and no cosy answers. They will not be disappointed. Candy, the book, concerns lack of control. Candy, the character, has none. A heroin-addicted prostitute, utterly dependent on the terrifying pimp who supplies her drugs, she totters into toilets for regular fixes.

Updike writes, ‘Oh daddy,’ Strokesie said beside me. ‘I feel so faint.’… ‘Darling,’ I said. ‘Hold me tight’ (16). Later in the piece Sammy is seen creating a small tune that goes along with the sounds of the cash register. You cannot blame him for doing this, seeing that he must spends hours on end next to that machine but nevertheless, it a childish thing to do.
All the things he can do is "…got her leather smoothed and her goodies into a bag” ( Updike, P135 ) For him, life in the A&P store is boring and also vulgar. “It’s not as if we’re on the Cape; we’re north of Boston and there’s people in this town haven’t see the ocean for twenty years.” The ocean here represents the interesting life for Sammy. He is not satisfied until the girls show up. When he saw the Queenie his desire starts to work. When the Queenie takes out the money “out of the hollow at the center of her nibbled pink top” (Updike, P136) Sammy thinks it is cute but actually, it is a kind of rude to not wear like that in the store.
The voice that Updike creates for Sammy is both deliberately casual and poetically descriptive, alternating between common slang and sharp wit. Sammy is clearly intelligent, although still uneducated at nineteen, and capable of creating striking images, such as calling a girl’s hair “oaky” and describing the sunlight as “skating around” the parking lot. Updike keeps Sammy’s language colloquial. The effect of Updike’s technique in handling the first-person narration in “A&P” is to ensure that the reader will not mistake Sammy’s voice for Updike’s. That is, Sammy is not meant to function as a stand-in for Updike or as a spokesman for the “authorial” point of view.
