Analyze, evaluate, and connect to Joyce Carol Oates' short story, "Where Are You Going, Where Have You Been?" After digesting the story, taking notes, and considering the critical interpretations that follow the story, find an issue that you would like to develop in a 2 -3 page essay. For example, is this a story of reality versus illusion? Is it about an adolescent's desire for attention and the harm that could come from being noticed by the wrong person? Does it illustrate what happens when teenagers do not have close bonds with their immediate families? You must decide which of the critics most align with your own ideas about the story.Therefore, there should be at least three items on the Works Cited page: the story itself plus two or three articles. Be sure to include parenthetical references within the essay itself. Remember to develop the discussion of your thematic focus, NOT provide too much plot summary.

Requirements:
