A & P

Sometimes reality can be distorted by an intrapersonal conflict

Sometimes reality can be distorted by an intrapersonal conflict. The story “A&P” written by John Updike, illustrates how our perspective of a situation can be rearranged and become the opposite reality of what was originally perceived. “A&P” tells the story of a boy who works at a grocery store. One day some girls come in wearing only bikinis, he becomes very interested in everything these girls do. The people at the store are giving these girls dirty looks while the grocery boy is thinking in his mind that these are the sweetest girls he has ever seen. His manager comes out to tell the girls that they are doing something wrong and that he would like them to leave. As the girls are leaving the boy tells his manager that he quits, in hopes that the girls would see him quitting and he would become there hero. When the boy finally reaches the parking lot to see the girls he saved they were gone. He then realizes that when he did what he did he was not thinking with his full capabilities. If the boy had not been so wrapped up in these half naked women he would have been able to handle the situation in a more professional manner.
