Essay / Research Paper Abstract
5 pages in length. John Updike's A&P addresses a very fundamental instinct of every human being: individualism. That this quest for uniqueness asserts itself in every aspect of one's existence is paramount to the extent of prosocial behavior an individual like Sammy might demonstrate. The author acknowledges the fact that altruistic tendencies are, in and of themselves, accomplished with the expectation – whether conscious or not – of receiving some level of recognition in return, an occurrence that does not take place between Sammy and his object of affection. No additional sources cited.
