Lollipops and A&P

1) Alliteration:

The repetition of the same sounds or of the same kinds of 

sounds at the beginning of words that are close together. 



Ex. Lovely Lemon Lollipops 


or maybe... a Survival Sucker





2) Setting

Physical: The time, place, year, location, season...

Emotional: the mood or tone of the piece...

Social/Political: What is the larger context of the text?



3) Introducing "A&P", by John Updike

  • What is Misogyny?
  • What might a poodle skirt and mini skirt teach us about the setting of this 1961 story?
  • What is the status quo?
  • Who works in a grocery store?
4) Reading... the rest of the story you can read for weekend homework.

5) Time to finish and hand in first paragraph.
