After you have engaged with Joyce Carol Oates’ short story “Where Are You Going, Where
Have You Been?” and conducted research through annotated bibliography, it’s time to
synthesize insights into a well-structured and insightful Researched Analysis. You can offer an analysis of
the story as a whole or delve deep into the characterization of one or both primary characters,
Connie and Arnold.
Regardless of the chosen focus, the analysis should be well-supported by both primary and
secondary sources.
Character Analysis: Explore the motives, behaviors, and development of Connie, Arnold, or
both. Analyze how they contribute to the story’s themes and message.
Theme Analysis: Examine key themes in the story, such as the loss of innocence, the dangers of
naiveté, or the power dynamics between characters.
Narrative Techniques: Analyze Oates’ use of narrative techniques, such as symbolism,
foreshadowing, and point of view, and how these contribute to the story’s impact.
Reader Response: Share your personal interpretation and emotional response to the story,
backed by evidence from the text and scholarly sources.
