The short piece of fiction‚ A&P by Updike was a very interesting read that conveyed a lot of information and ideas about society to think about in very few words.

This story stands out as true to life because of the extreme detail Updike uses to set the scene of the grocery store‚ as well as the way he develops his characters. He watches the girls make their way through the grocery store‚ never failing to describe where they are whether it be by the bread or by the peaches. He even goes so far as to describe the stores location in relation to the beach to explain how odd it is that the three girls came into the store in nothing but their bathing suits. He
