The evolution of character is extremely
well paced and intriguing throughout the short story. When we first meet Sammy
he is a young, semi immature individual who has a wandering eye for the opposite
sex. Though he wishes he were above the objectification of the young women, his
eyes follow them as much as everyone else’s. The climax of the story, Sammy
quitting his job remains in a similar vain of Sammy’s immaturity, because he
quits his job in the hopes that the young women will admire and appreciate him.
He hides behind the veneer of chivalry to get the young women’s attention. In the end Sammy is left with a slap
across the face by reality, not only has he lost his chance of ever being appreciated
or wanted by any of the girls, but he is now forced to face his life like an
adult, and start anew.
