SENIORS HOMEWORK: Oct. 7 due Oct. 11

Read A &P, pp. 370-374 in your white book, for class on Tuesday.

It's another story by John Updike, the author of The Lucid Eye in Silver Town.

This story is an example of first person, subjective narration. It's comically told by a teenage boy named Sammy a short time after he's made an important life decision.

Pay special attention to Sammy's language as he narrates the tale. Those of you whose job involves dealing with the public will especially appreciate the story.
