The point of view is an integral aspect of the work. The same can be said of Updike's story, as the reader can only be lead towards Sammy's actions by Sammy himself. Sammy reveals information and acts on
the information he reveals, creating a greater impact for the reader than
if merely told from the outside. The point of view, regardless of style
and usage, in both "A&P" and "A Rose for Emily," is important and makes
possible what would otherwise be impossible in a short story.
Point of view, the perspective from which a story is told, is an
element of a story that contributes greatly to all other aspects of the
story. In particular, the first person point of view helps to show this,
as the first person narrative helps to develop the story's and add to
emotional impact....

...

While perspectives can take on different forms, the point of view limits what an author can accomplish, and it also allows the
author to accomplish more. This is clearly evident in "A&P" by John Updike
and "A Rose for Emily" by William Faulkner. Both employ the first person
point of view in order to add emotional impact for the reader, and she
light on a perspective of which a character within the story has. The
narrator becomes a character through his or her point of view, and the
power of this element of literature regardless of the particular point of
view is demonstrated.
