John Updike A&P

The thing that stands out for me in this story is how much detail there is in this story, but even though there was so much detail the actually story was pretty boring to me. I felt as though it was the diary of a cashier at the A&P, the girls really did not intrigue me at all. Overall I thought the story was bad, I would give it a solid 3 out of 10.

If I had to choose a favorite passage it would be, "I started to say something that came out "Fiddle-de-doo". It's a saying of my grandmother's, and I know she would have been please.
"I don't think you know what you're saying," Lengel said.
"I know you don't," I said. "But I do." "
I liked that passage because I thought it was a pretty good way to quit a job, it was not offensive or rude in anyway. It serves the purpose of a graceful leave from a job she needed but did not want.
