The Character Response

EQ: How do our personal experiences shape our views of others? ourselves?

our personal experiences shape our views of others and ourselves because in A&P by John Updike, Sammy is working as a clerk in the store and some girls walk in wearing bathing suits. The store manager confronts them and tells them to leave because they are revealing too much skin. Sammy thinks this is bad and quits his job but the girls didn't see his courageous act so it was in vain. This personal experience shaped Sammy's personality because now he will stand up for what is right and not be afraid to do so.
