1. John Updike gave a very detailed description of the supermarket, and the surroundings. The supermarket is located in the middle of a town, and it is surrounding by various other businesses which strongly resembles a real life supermarket. The way people interact within the supermarket also resembles real life. Looking through the groceries, and making sure they have everything they came to buy. These details give a closer connection to the story. It is something people can imagine, and relate to very easily.
2. Sammy's background is not extensive enough for readers to get a better understanding of his character, but judging by his interactions the readers can make assumptions. Sammy seems like a nice guy. I don't think Sammy is a hero at all. Sammy wants the girls to notice his heroics which make him less of a hero. A hero doesn't expect to be noticed, or rewarded for his/her actions. I think the audience has a clearer understanding of Sammy's personality rather than the doctor in "Godfather Death". …show more content…
The exposition of the story seems to be when the main character is introduced. Queenie plays a major role in the story because she is the reason Sammy played the hero card. Sammy wanted her to notice him.
4. Sammy's feelings for all three of the girls changed over the course of the story. First he was interested in the larger girl, then as the story progressed Sammy started to like Queenie.
5. The dramatic conflict begins when Lengel confronts the girls on their manners. The crisis begins when Lengel is annoyed with the girls acting like the supermarket is a beach, and Lengel tells them that is not the case. The climax of the story is when Sammy quit his job because he wanted to be the hero.
6. Sammy quit his job to appear as a hero to the girls. The girls did not
