This is a 4 page paper discussing Updike’s short story “A & P” and Sammy’s transition from adolescence into adulthood. John Updike’s short story “A & P” (1962) tells the story of a teenage boy named “Sammy” who works as an A & P checkout clerk. Throughout the story, readers experience Sammy’s slow transition and realization of his own adolescence into the world of adulthood where he takes responsibility of his own actions. He reacts to situations from an adolescent perspective at the beginning of the story but then his character develops as he is able to see his own situation from the outside which also allows him to look at those around him in a similar light. At the end of the story he makes a heroic gesture in what looks like an attempt to impress three girls who have come into the store. However, even after the girls’ departure, he maintains his stand and steps away from his adolescent life into one of adulthood.
