A & P

How are people transformed through their relationships with others?

Sammy, in A & P is transformed throught the relationship with his employer, Lengel. Sammy views that the 3 girls that walk into the store with nothin on but a bathing suits if perfectly fine, but Lengel views it as a problem and does not want the girls to be in his store with only bathing suits. He would gladly have them in his store if they had shorts on over they're bathing suits. So when Lengel makes the girls leave the store, Sammy disaproves. Sammy walks up to Lengel and says "I quit". Sammy quits because he feels that Lengel had embarressed the girls, even though the girls didnt even notice him. Lengel had known Sammys' family for a long time, but Sammy did not care. He took off his apron, folded it up and placed it on the counter. Then walked out the door and looked for the girls, or as Sammy put it ''I look around for my girls'', but they were gone.
