I think that A&P is one of the greatest short stories ever written. I feel that Updike paints a perfect picture of how it would go down if it actually happened. The way he described the dull day to day activities of Sammy without making the story dull as well was great. When I first read the story I honestly just thought it was another short story that I didn't really care about, but after thinking about it for awhile, I realized the message he was trying to send was much bigger than the story itself. Everyone has something that makes them go from a child to an adult, and I believe he did a superb job of putting that into words.
