A&P

This weeks reading took place inside a grocery store. It told the story of the store clerk and three young girls who entered the store wearing nothing but bathing suits. I enjoyed this reading much more than I did the others because it was more of an entertainment read. The outcome for the clerk ended unfortunately because to impress the girls he quit in front of them to his manager who embarassed the girls. The girls ended up not seeing this act and the clerk was left jobless and in no way did he accomplish his goal of impressing the girls. I liked the story because it was told in such great detail. I liked how the author described each girl and her own personality. There was the chubby one with the two piece, the tall one, and there was the queenie. He could tell she was the leader just by the way she carried herself. I found it interesting how in the few minutes that the girls were there and the little time the clerk had spent watching them, that he could develope such a bond with them to where he would quit his job in their defense.
