Analysis
- This story is about religon. It can be looked at from a psychological criticism because granny kind of gets into the killers head. She tells him she believes he is still a good man even though he is about to kill her. The killer begins to reconsider it, but still ends up killing her anyways. She ends up finding her "good" man who is god. The writer of this story is a very religious so that explains why that is the good man in the end.
- A family is taking a trip to Florida. They get lost on the way, but Granny never tells them this. They then run into a man, and Granny recognizes him as the killer. He now feels obligated to kill the family, and he kind of feels guility about it. The guy ends up killing her family, but the granny tells him she still thinks he is a good man. This makes the man question if he should really kill the woman. He says if she were always had a gun pointed at her, she would be a great person.
- This story is about man who works at a store called A&P. This could be a gender critism. The man obviously lusted over one of the girls, so he felt bad for when she was humilated in the store. I thinking looking at today, when a man lusts over a woman, he will do crazy stuff for her. He quit his job because not just because she was humilated. She was wearing skimpy clothing which I think made him want to quit more. He became obsessed with seeing these girls in their bathing suits because he looked at them every chance he could get.
- The narrator works at the A&P grochery store. Three ladies walk in only wearing their bathing suits. The narrator watches them the whole time as they move through the aisles. He especially watches this one girl that has no shoes on and the straps of her suit are off her shoulders. They eventually find what they need and proceed to the narrators check out stand. The manager looks out from his office and sees these ladies. He comes over to inform them that this is not a beach, and they need to wear more clothes next time they are in. The one lady becomes embrassed and blushes. They are out the store when the narrator says he quit because he feels it wasn't right to humilate those girls. He leaves even though he needs the money and searches for the girls. He can't find them.
