Shoplifting From American Apparel; The Final Post!

Summary: The ending to the novella was interesting and odd, but I believe it’s due to the fact that I haven’t read many novellas. In the last few pages, Sam has been to many places and a lot has occurred in so little time. So much was happening at once, that he didn’t even have time to cyber chat with Luis. Sam was also arrested once more for shoplifting (it's like he didn't learn the first time). Towards the end of the book, Sam went to Gainesville, Florida. There he partied a lot, and spend enormous amounts of time doing nothing. While he was on his trip in Florida I got to find a lot about Sam. For example, I found out that he wanted to be a Marine Biologist as he grew up, and that his parents are in Taiwan. After some time in Gainesville he returned to New York City to do what he loves most, write weird pieces of literature.

Quotation:: "At the police station Sam called Robert" (Lin 65).

Reaction:Reaction: Sam was arrested again. This time he was arrested for stealing headphones. What was strange about it was that he was stealing headphones because his broke, and headphones costs about five dollars. But I guess something that is worth five dollars is not worth something to Sam, because he was arrested trying to shoplift headphones that cost forty-dollars. In my opinion, he being arrested twice is the climax of the novel, and the falling action is him going to Florida.
