The lesson
The lesson is about this lady name Miss Moore. She lived in a lower class neughborhood and was the only one on the block with a college degree. She teaches the kids in the neighborhood everyday. The theme of this story is that there is a big gap in between the rich and the poor and if the rich can just realize that what they may pay for one item can maybe feed a couple of families for a period of time.
A&P
A&P is about a 18year old boy who works as a cashier at a grocery store called A&P. The story began with three girls entering the store and catching everyones attention with just their bathing suits on. Due to their dressing the manager asks the ladies sto leave and not to come back until they have more clothes on. When this happens Sammy decides to stick up for the ladies and quit his job but acting without thinking leaves Sammy wondering why did he do what he just did. It leaves the reader thinking that it is important to think before you act because you are not only effecting just yourself but family also around you that may depend on you.
