Where Are You Going Where Have You Been1

One of the many short stories written by Mrs. Joyce Carroll Oates is very appreciated where you are going, where you are going, where you are. It was inspired by the magazine story about serial killers. It quickly became very popular and even became the basis of the popular movie SmoothTalk in 1985. Like many other short stories and novels written by Joyce Carol Oates, where you were, what you have done is the story that is consumed by evil. In the story, evil is projected through the eyes of the character. (Weinberger 207) Joyce Carol Oates is known to many people as a psychological realistic writer (Wegs 69) and can be seen in this story. Associated with the theme are three special literary elements that link all the details that are scattered and give a sense of awe to the reader at the end of the story. The three literary elements that contribute to short stories are sarcasm, images and symbols. Ironic is an important element of where you go and where you go. The title itself is ironic because it is two questions that Connie has never asked before. No one has asked her whereabouts. (Sullivan 535) Ironically, she is a victim of this story but she is actually inviting and inviting this devilish provocation. Hurry 64) Her fears always transcended her subconscious self and distracted her to physical and mental separation, her unconscious self betrayed her. Another ironiest thing is that when Arnold's friend said, I am so nervous that you know what you mean, so do not think you will not run away. But he also states that his rule is the same as the rule of nature's life. (Wegs 71) In this particularly short novel, details of Connie's life comfort were found later, ironically it got worse

# 1: You must marry yourself to become richer and poorer. This means that you fall in love with yourself. You will not say to yourself. I will marry you if you marry you or you arrive at the corner of Hollywood Hall of Fame when you lose 10 pounds or if you do not date with a loser, I am sorry, I did not love you. When you love yourself, you will do it your way. # 3: You will be better or worse than yourself. When big life is disappointing: You do not have your own home, you can not get the job you want, you are not graduating from college, perhaps you are not getting the relationship you wanted . Perhaps you are fighting your mother, maybe you've seen too many reality TVs whatever it is: it is no longer important.

This is absolutely nonsense. Whatever you do, whatever you like, sooner or later I do not want to dislike the fact that I do not want to resolve it, so this is nonsense. Sooner or later it becomes difficult and rough, and you fear it. Things may go wrong, or making a bad choice, or just getting tired. There may be good reasons. Work is always hard. Then it gets better. This is the biggest and worst millionaike on Earth, everyone's career cycle. You do not always like your job, and you always do not want to do it. If your work is your favorite, you can completely lose your passion and even not interested in it.
