Character Analysis: Where Are You Going, Where Have You Been?
Where Are You Going, Where Have You Been?
Innocent, young, naïve; this is how Connie was at her age of fifteen. She liked the attention boys gave her and how it made her feel. A man named Arnold Friend, whose much older than her, has stalked Connie and wants to convince her to go for a ride in his car. Connie doesn’t notice the man’s older features and this causes her young mind to contemplate going with Arnold in his car. Connie is more conflicted with herself, she battles to make the right choices especially since she is so young and taking advantage of an innocent mind was something she was not prepared for (Oates, Joyce Carol, 2016).
Young girls at Connie’s age should be taught values and precautions so that they know how to act around
