A & P

. . .
He foolishly walks away from his job to impress a very good-looking young girls.

My first impression towards Sammy is a typical perverted guy who makes comments about every girl that passes by. It was unbelievably naïve for an eighteen year old boy to act this way. ” He refers to an old woman as a "cash-register watcher" and suggests that she would have been "burned in Salem" when she caught him ringing up a box of HiHo crackers twice. I thought Sammy was trying too hard to get the girls attention. His detailed description of a girl “with a good tan and a sweet broad soft-looking can with those two crescents of white just under it, where the sun never seems to hit, at the top of the backs of her legs” is what leads me to this conclusion. Sammy later experiences some unusual situation with the three girls that end up affecting his entire life through a series of events. Unfortunately, sometimes we need to learn it the hard way. Sammy did not know the impact that his decision would have on his life. e, and a tall one, with black hair that hadn’t quite frizzed right, and one of these sunburns right across under the eyes, and a chin that was too long. Most people do not just get up and walk out from their jobs, especially when they have very limited opportunity like Sammy.
