In the short story, “Where Are You Going, Where Have You Been?” by Joyce Carol Oates, she depicts this time period through a narcissistic young girl named Connie on her short journey through teenage life of spending time with friends and getting all of the boys attention. Oates uses horrific diction, detail imagery, and an allusion to Bob Dylan’s song, “It’s All Over Now Baby Blue” to convey aspects of morality, adolescence, independence and the struggles that follow close behind.
