very close to him, his life would be more complex and more prone to problems. Yet, he did not back out of his actions and decide to stay at the A & P. He instead went on with his life, realizing that the past should not be rewritten or regretted. For that, if nothing else, Sammy should be commended.Sammy's initial motives were driven by his own innate instincts and impulses of wanting girls. Much of his motives were based upon his ape-like tendency to shed inhibitions and seduce the female sex. The ability to judge, inherent in any human being, seemed to be the only thing separating him from his evolutionary counterparts. However, as the circumstances surrounding his actions were divulged, and Sammy began to really realize what he was doing, his actions became nobler. One can learn from Sammy the importance of not backing down once decisions are made, and to stand up for one's own opinions despite what other people think. If one can disregard Sammy's initial ape-like motives that stressed the importance of the sex drive, there is much to be learned from that now-eminent grocery clerk. If people finally decide to stand up for what they believe, themselves and the world would indubitably be bettered. Then, the world would run less rampant with people who appear to have missed their fair share of natural selection, and the world would be a much more spiritually sound place....
