I found the story powder very intriguing. The author kept you enchanted with


the character of his father, yet disenchanted with his own character. The authors father


was a cool impractical father he drove a sports car, took risks such as driven through


unplowed snow covered roads and went down hill sking for fun. Unlike my father who


drives a compact car, doesen’t like drving at night let alone in snow and goes antique


shopping for fun. Yet the author lives a very practical life with his clothes carefully


hung on numbered racks so the would be properally rotated. So I was intrigued by the


father and life that he lived on the edge, but not the son and his sheltered life.


Even though i didn’t like the authors charcter as a person in the story,


I did however like his use of the first person, because it kept you intouch with


the characters emotions.


The story A & P however did not captivate me. The hero in the story, Sammy,


was no hero in my book only a pathetic fool who lived in an uneventfull town that was


resistant to change. When Sammy was working in the local grocery store he

noticed a


beautiful girl walk in with 2 of her friends. Although she only walked into the grocery


store to buy one small item for her mother, Sammy took as if she was walking right into


his life. She was much more than just another pretty face to Sammy to him she was a


godess. Since Sammy never knew her name he refered to her as Queenie because she


was of royal status to him. He held her high above himself and everyone he knew, he


even imagined her family to be of a higher class of people, from a 49 cent snack she was


purchasing. When his boss confronted Queenie of her atire the matter was resolved

quickly between her and the boss, but not to Sammy he felt that she was a dansel in


distress. Sammy quit his job do to his bosses actions and left the store expecting Queenie


to be waiting outside ready to jump in his arms for defending her honor but to his suprise


he found no one. In Sammy’s attempt at schivalry he lost his job and the girl he never


had.


The story A & P did not apeal to me, although the first person style that it was


written in made you feel Sammy’s excitement towards the matter. I still have trouble


dealing with his irational response to the conflict with Queenie and his boss.
