  1. John Updike’s “A & P” (1961) • Consider narrative voice: • Who is our narrator? What are the characteristics of the narrator (i.e., young or old)? What is the dominant pov? How does narrative voice affect how the story is told & how we understand the story? Also see handout “Effect on the Work” available online • Tone: • How would you describe the tone of the short story? (see handout “Tone Words” under “Prose Help”) How is tone revealed? • Theme: • Message here? Consider what the narrator learns through his experience and how this goes to theme. • See Questions, page 20 for further guidance
