To answer this query, we would first need to understand what postmodernism is. So, Postmodernism, in Western philosophy, is characterized by broad cynicism, subjectivity, or relativism. This theory depends on a general mistrust of reason; and an acute understanding to the role of principles in assuming and balancing authority in relation to individuality.

Here, John Updike’s “A & P” is certainly an example of the postmodernist idea. This is because one of the characters Sammy quits the job without any thoughts about his family. He represents an individualistic resolution which wholly depends on his personal ethics. He owns a selfish attitude and acts to be a hero. Another aspect that classifies the story as a post-modern write-up is its portrayal of female exploitation. Females are accepted when they present themselves as some sophisticated beings. We can note the attitude of the manager towards the girls at the very start of the story when he kicks them out because they had not much on them.

<span> A & P is an example of postmodernism. In the story, the main character with the name Sammy left his work without realizing how it will affect his parents. He only has self-concern that leads to his personal decision. He appears to have a<span> mindset more favor to his personal gain compared to have a systematized movement. Sammy is an example of postmodernist because he did not try to refine his mind about what is wrong or right. He asserted individualism and his system place is lost and continue to be unsure on his next step.</span></span>

The quote that clearly shows that Sagoyewatha is determined not to sell the land is ​"They bought them, piece after piece, for a little money paid to a few men in our nation, and not to all our brethren . . ."​

<h3>How does this quote present Sagoyewatha's thinking?</h3>
  • It shows that the sale of land is not profitable.
  • It shows that the money received is not enough to make everyone happy.
  • It shows that the money would not be shared equally.

Sagoyewatha shows that the sale of land is disadvantageous, as it will cause the people to lose a very precious asset and receive little money, which will not be able to compensate them for the lack of land.

He also claims that the profits from this sale are not evenly distributed, leaving some community members in a very bad situation as they will be left without money and land.
