I read and annotated the short story A & P in the short story analog book. I thought that the story was really weird actually. The main character Sammy works at a small ton grocery store 5 miles away from a popular beach. One normal day 3 girls in only bathing suits walk in to the store. Sammy thinks that this is really odd because things like this never happen. Everyone in the store is really interested in what is going on with these three girls in just swimsuits just walk in. They all stare at them with confusion. When the manager of the store Lengel asks them to be better clothed and embarrasses them, Sammy gets mad that he called them out and quits his job. After Sammy quits his job he realizes that life is about to get a lot harder than it just was.
I thought that this short story was good because the way it was written was very descriptive and I felt like I was almost watching the story if that makes sense. with the details of the characters I felt like I knew who they were almost. I thought that the story had a weird ending with Sammy just quitting. I thought that this story was weird but I liked it a lot. I liked it better than Harrison Beregeron and better than Da-Duh.
