A&P

1. I interpreted the ending as Sammy having a quick reality check of what he had just done. Looking back at the store, he realized that he really had just quit his job because he wanted to impress the girls that had gotten yelled at for wearing only bathing suites into the store. After he quit he realized that the girls did not care that he quit because Lengel had embarassed them and since he knew Sammy's parents, Sammy probably knew that his parents were not going to be pleased at all about the situation.

2. I disagree with Gilbert Porter because the Sammy overreacted somewhat to the situation. He quit because Lengel told the girls that they were innapropriately dressed and needed to wear clothes over their bathing suits. Lengel wasn't embarassing the girls because they should have had shoes and clothes on. Sammy just wanted to impress the girls by sticking up for them and then by quitting. Only to realize that the girls did not care and were gone by the time he walked out.

4. The story was very descriptive and had many details. The specific details helped me actually picture the story as I was reading it. All the descriptions relate to the story's identity because they are all from Sammy's point of view and everything that he saw, with out any other person's side of the story.
