Sammy also saw a foreshadowing of his future if he had kept his job. He would have been in the same situation as Stokesie “ married, with two babies… He’s twenty-two, and I was nineteen this April” (Updike 133) hoping to become a manager someday like Lengel and that’s not much of an accomplishment. Knowing that Lengel is described as being gray and dull “ Lengel sighs … old and gray” (Updike 135).

In Martha Stouts, “When I Woke Up Tuesday Morning, It Was Friday,” dissociation is introduced as a coping mechanism for those who have had an abusive past or a traumatic experience. Victims of trauma sometimes do not understand what exactly happened to them that they then enter another world where they feel safe and loved.
