Analysis of A&P and Shiloh


	In his article "Updike's A&P," Corey Evan Thompson argues that the narrator and main character Sammy is not a hero for standing up for the young girls but a young man frustrated with his job. Thompson (2001, p. 215) points out that Sammy must deal with annoying customers that he refers to as "'witches,' 'bums,' and 'sheep.'" Thompson (2001, p. 215) states of Sammy that "He suggests that he has been thinking about quitting for at least a few months" and notes that Sammy has worked at the grocery for so long that he even describes the girls in terms of products that are sold at the store. Thompson's (2001, p. 216) points are well taken. It is obvious that Sammy is indeed bored and frustrated with his job. His describing the girls' body parts using terms related to grocery store products such as "a soft looking can" and "the two smoothest scoops of vanilla"(indicates that Sammy's frame of reference in all issues is the grocery store. Sammy has also been spending "all [his] time thinking," and Thompson (2001, p. 21
