bath Updikes story entitled A& angstrom unitP is a tarradiddle of a reality who see to itks for his identity and pride. The bank clerk of this story is also the important part Sammy. This protagonist is a simple man a food product clerk and an observer.Because of this prank, Sammy utilize to observe his costumers and the ambiance of the A&P. However, due to one situation that occurred into the grocery store, Sammy realizes m whatever things and gives him certain actions that changed his living. Being the main purpose of the store, Sammy portrays different emotions happy, angry, sad, confused, and puzzled. That is why Sammy is a picture of transforming identity from the begin up to the polish off of the story.In terms of agreement towards Sammys character, I have seen that Updike uses different work outs and elements to evince emotions and actions coming from the main character. It is to provide conflict, climax, and resolving to the story. the precedent sympa thize with Sammys character that can be seen in the end of the story where Sammy realizes that he has no job and the worlds will non be a better place for him anymore.This part shows fellow feeling in a sense that the author makes the character realize the fact of life and did not only release the firmness of purpose of the conflict. Updike shows the justification and idea of Sammy after he quit his job, which is a form of sympathy to the character.Because the character comes from a middle class, the nomenclature is casual and straight. In the beginning of the story, we could see that Sammy is very observant with people or with his environment. When Sammy wants to express his feelings, he shows it directly without any form of pretention.From this fact, it defines the identity of Sammy as a normal character with dignity and pride. However, the track he describes things or people is dramatic in a sense that he provides accurate imagination to feel and gain his perceptions. As t he story goes by, we could able to show that Sammy starts to express his actions and words together that changed his path.Sammy is easily affected by his environment. This is the most satisfying trait that he showed throughout the story. From the beginning up to the end of the story, Sammy impartes a pattern of being affected to everything that happens in his environment. From this fact, we could jazz that Sammy is a composition of attraction, curiosity, inferiority, and distinction. All these factors restore the mind and actions of Sammy towards other people alike Quennie and Lengel.In my own observation, I can adduce that Sammys persona is dynamic because his actions and motivations ar not stable. As the story goes on, Sammys personality elevate from one factor to another. In the beginning of the story, Sammy is an observant. When he power saw Queenie in a travel suit, he started to analyze things. When Lengel enters the scene and confronts the ladies in swim suit, Samm y talks to Lengel. When Sammy thinks that Lengels actions are illogical, he quits his job. His actions had a process to establish his character not just a static formation of his identity.From all of these, I can say that Sammy is a right(a) character that can be played. He is flexible enough to adjust in different scenarios. This is what I like with his character. level(p) if he is prank, direct, and weird character, there is a concept of intelligence that lies within his persona. It shows that Sammy was not easily manipulated by his environment exactly he could think and become quick to show who he really is.Work CitedUpdike, John. A&P.
