Retell Updike's story, "A and P," from the PointOfView of one of the following characters:
Queenie
Stoksie
One of Sammy's parents or siblings
Plaid
Lengel
A customer
Big Tall Goony-Goony
Make sure your original story has a clear beginning, middle, and end; a conflict, crisis, and climax; and a supermarket setting. Be sure to employ at least some foreshadowing and include a backstory. You may change the setting to a store in the contemporary western United States.
Be sure readers of Updike's story can identify your character without a name. On second thought, let's keep the same time period as the original story. Write from the first person point of view in the voice of the character. Your story, keep in mind, needs to stand on its own as its own story. If successful, your story will appear as one chapter in a work of fiction that includes the original Updike story alongside the stories of other characters listed above.
