EN 101 Lecture Notes - Lecture 58: New England Town, Lemonade
Document Summary
Three teenage girls, wearing only their bathing suits, walk into an a&p grocery store in a small new england town. Sammy, a young man working the checkout line, watches them closely. He appraises their looks and notes even minute details about the way they carry themselves. He also speculates about their personalities and their motivation for entering the store dressed the way they are. Sammy is particularly interested in the most attractive girl, who appears to be the leader of the group. Queenie, has a natural grace and confidence, in addition to her beauty. As the girls roam the aisles of the a&p, they create a stir. As sammy points out, the store is in the center of town, nowhere near the beach, where the girls" attire would attract less notice. Sammy"s coworker stokesie ogles the girls as well, joking around with sammy as he does so.
