He sees three girls come into the grocery story with only swim suites on.

Sammy keeps his eyes on them while they are shopping and in my eyes I feel that his way of watching over them.
The reader now thinks that Curley’s wife was misunderstood, lonely and didn’t deserve the abusive comments she received. Candy then says ‘you ain’t wanted here’ making the reader feel more apologetic towards her. Despite this she calls them ‘a bunch of bindle stiffs’ and claims that she is only there because ‘they ain’t nobody else’. She then turned on crooks ‘in scorn “listen nigger”’ this is very cruel and spiteful but maybe she was only retaliating. She also tries to ally with them when she says ‘I’d like to bust him myself’, she is referring to Curley and says how she also hates him too.
What We Buy “What we Buy” is a movie based on experiments documented about the way people shop. In the start of the movie they were analyzing the way people shop when they go into a supermarket. Throughout a supermarket, there are many vibrant colors and the shelves are stocked wisely. The way shelves are stocked play a major role in the way people find items in the supermarket.

"A & P" written by John Updike tells the story of three adolescent girls, casually strolling through a grocery store wearing only swimsuits. Sammy is a young man who happens to work in the store and is very observant. He pays close attention to the three girls. He focuses on the most attractive of the three, the one who appears to be the leader and gives her a nickname, "Queenie".

When the reader first meets Maggie, she is portrayed as shy, awkward and self-conscious do to the scars she received when
Dontae Davis Professor. Reibman A & P Analysis English 151c Section 09 A & P is a story about a young guy name Sammy who works at a Grocery Store. One day while he was working and they had bathing suits on. Sammy being your normal teenage boy starts to analyze them one by one describing them everything from their features to personality traits. He takes a keen on Queenie; a name he made up for one of the girls.
“With the straps pushed off, there was nothing between the top of the suit and the top of her head except just her, this clean bare plane of the top of her chest down from the shoulder bones like a dented sheet of metal tilted in the light” (540).
