The question states that it's asking for a comparison, so that leads me toassume that it wants an answer that highlights more similarities thandifferences. Both Sammy and Lengel are very aware of their surroundings. Thereare several sections of the story in which Sammy provides tons of details forhis readers.

After a while they come around out of the far aisle, around the light bulbs,records at discount of the Caribbean Six or Tony Martin Sings or some such gunkyou wonder they waste the wax on, six packs of candy bars, and plastic toysdone up in cellophane that fall apart when a kid looks at them anyway.

Sammy could have just told readers the girls came out of aisle 12. That's afairly tame detailed description. His descriptions of the girls and theirclothing are much more detailed. Sammy notices a lot of things, and Lengel isthe same way. Sammy doesn't really like Lengel. He thinks Lengel is "dreary;"however, Sammy does have to admit that Lengel is a quick study that doesn'tmiss much.

Readers also get a sense that both Sammy and Lengel have a knowledge of whatis socially appropriate in public places. Sammy tells readers about halfwaythrough the story what most women put on and wear to the store, but readers canclue into Sammy's knowledge of appropriate grocery store clothing much earlier.The fact that the girls are in the store in bathing suits is shocking to Sammy,but he specifically points out to readers that they aren't even in shoes.

Both men are also able to publicly verbalize their opinions in the face ofdissenting opinion. Lengel tells the girls that they are not decently dressed,and Queenie defends herself. Lengel doesn't take back what he said or cowerbefore a customer. He lets the girls know that he doesn't approve of them.Sammy has this same kind of courage. He knows that Lengel doesn't want to hearthat Sammy disapproves of his actions, yet Sammy says what he thinks to hisboss despite possible consequences.

Lengel and Sammy are alike in the way that Sammy describes him: " . . . hedoesn't miss that much." Sammy is equally observant, judging from both hisdetailed descriptions of the people that come to shop at the A&P, includingthe way they look and what they purchase, and his co-workers.

Also like Lengel, Sammy understands that there are unwritten social codes intheir town. He observes that "the women generally put on a shirt or shorts orsomething before they get out of the car into the street." Because at nineteenSammy is considerably younger than Lengel, he is intrigued by the girls'audacity in appearing in the store in bathing suits. Lengel, however, wastes notime chastising the girls for their revealing attire.

It can also be said that Lengel and Sammy are both men who will stand onprinciple. Sammy does not approve of Lengel rebuking the girls, and so he quitsthe A&P, whereas Lengel goes out of his way to demand decorum in the storehe manages.

First of all, Lengel seems immune to the girls' sexuality, unlikeSammy. While Sammy is floored by their beauty, Lengel chastises thescantily clad teenagers. He makes it a point to act in an authoritarianmanner: "Girls, this isn't a beach," he says, not once but twice. Then,"I don't want to argue with you. After this come in here with yourshoulders covered," Lengel warns.

Lengel seems like a stiff, and he is in many ways, but unlike Sammy he knowsthe consequences that will follow rash action. When Sammyimpetuously declares, "I quit!" it is Lengel who has the foresight to knownot only how much his family will disapprove, but also how Sammy "willfeel this for the rest of his life."

Sammy has probably made the right choice, unlike Lengel who long ago gave uphope of a meaningful future, but perhaps when he recalls the affect of youthfuldecisions and can only warn of the residual affects. Sammy, like allyoung people, though, must learn through his own trial and error. It isimpossible to teach experience.

One year ago, Donna Cahill thought she might lose her older horse, Sammy, when he developed terrible abscesses in his hooves. But after getting Sammy started on Wellpride fish oil, Donna says he has made an incredible recovery.

I noticed within a month that the hoof was coming in really strong. After about a month, I backed down to one daily dose, and I continued with it for a good five months. With time, I noticed that the hoof was getting so much better. And the farrier said it was so much better too.

D: I did start off slow with the Wellpride because my horses were detecting I had put something in their food. I started off with a quarter dose and split it between two feedings until they got used to it. Then, a half dose in the morning, a half dose in the afternoon. I mean, it went quickly. Within two weeks I had them on one full dose once a day.

One of the most fascinating things about Huntsville, Alabama is seeing the transformation of ideas into ingenuity. While the story of the Saturn V may be the things legends are made of, often we are unaware of this same creativity playing out in our local food scene. As a transplant moving here in 2018, one of the things that sold me on Huntsville was this imagination taking the form of food.

Growing up between the Washington DC suburbs and Savannah, GA, Brett always found music and food to bridge the gap between the two worlds. Musician, US Army veteran, Software Engineer, dedicated home chef, Brett has worn a variety of proverbial hats and is used to traveling outside his comfort zone in pursuit of new experiences. Whether studying abroad in Greece or deploying to Afghanistan, food and the people involved in the process, became a way to relate to his ever-changing world view.

While an engineering career may have led Brett from Tampa, FL to Huntsville, more importantly, there was a flourishing food scene to explore. After discovering most of his coworkers had no idea what their city had to offer, he started a food blog to catalog his experiences and share recipes that demystify culinary techniques. He has found an audience in fellow foodies and industry professionals alike.

Aside from food, Brett also enjoys building his vinyl collection, sipping craft beer and whiskey, and building websites for small business owners. He loves exploring the city through the stories told by its long-time locals.

We hope to stream the show at a later date, so one day audiences all over the world (not just NYC) can buy a ticket. We have a licensing deal, and hope to see versions of the show in regional theaters in the future. We believe we will see other productions one day, overseas.

In this podcast, it's all about the Off-Broadway show, Between the Lines. Joining host Ben Cameron are Arielle Jacobs (Aladdin, In the Heights), Julia Murney (Wicked, Lennon), Vicki Lewis (Anastasia, Chicago, Damn Yankees), and Jake David Smith (Frozen). Ben and the group play a round of "Dramatic Reading," then chat about the process of taking a story from the page to the stage, what it has been like working with famed author Jodi Picoult, and so much more!

Based on the novel by New York Times bestselling author Jodi Picoult and her daughter Samantha, Between The Lines Musical is an empowering and enchanting new musical for anyone who has ever sought to find their place in the world. An outsider in a new town and a new school, Delilah seeks comfort in the pages of her favorite book, where she feels heard and understood. But as the lines between fantasy and reality begin to blur in both extraordinary and astonishing ways, Delilah has to confront whether she has the power to rewrite her story.

Following the success of Between the Lines, Jodi Picoult and her daughter and co-writer, Samantha van Leer, have teamed up for their second young-adult (YA) novel, Off The Page. It's a tender and appealing romantic novel filled with humor, adventure, and magical relationships. Full of humor and witty commentary about life, Off The Page is a stand-alone novel as well as a companion to Between the Lines, and is perfect for readers looking for a fairytale ending.

Sammy: When it came to editing, we were again sitting at the computer together, going through the editorial letter to figure out what needed to be fixed. There was a lot of brainstorming involved in the editing process since we had to add characters and change existing ones, and if we changed one scene it sometimes changed others later on in the book.

Sammy: I have a long list of Miley Cyrus songs from when I was in middle school that I cannot figure out how to delete from my iPod, but I am proud to say I do not own a single Justin Bieber song.

So I turn away from those eyes, the exact color of honey; from that mouth, its lips parted just the tiniest bit, as if she might be about to speak my name. I turn away, and clear my throat, and for the hundred billionth time in my life, I speak my first line of the story.

Okay, Oliver, I tell myself. This is not a disaster. People read a fairy tale for the happy ending, not to hunt for a faintly visible chessboard scratched into the sand on the final page. Still, I try to pull Seraphima toward me, in an attempt to hide the chessboard beneath the fabric of her billowing dress. Seraphima, however, misinterprets this to mean that I might actually want to get closer to her. She tilts up her chin and her eyes flutter closed, waiting for her kiss.
