"Where Are You Going, Where Have You Been?" by Joyce Carol Oates takes place in 1966. The story evolves around a teenage girl named Connie. Connie is at the point in her life where she is drifting away from her parents and getting more involved with young men. Connie it pretty and outgoing, which leads her into meeting some nice guys. This is fine until she attracts a really bad man named Arnold Friend, who has some horrible intentions in mind. This story was latter adapted into a movie. The movie maintains the overall plot, but also changes a few things. In comparison the book is much more believable and thrilling than the unrealistic and boring movie. .
The book portrays Connie as a much more believable character. Connie is about as rebellious as a teenager comes. She never listens to her parents and is in need of constant attention from boys. Usually girls like this suffer from not having a strong support group at home. This stands true in the book, but not the movie. In the movie, both of Connie's parents are very loving and caring towards there daughter. Connie and her mother may argue a lot, but her mother still shows affection towards her daughter. In the book, Connie's mother comes off much colder and her father is almost non-existent. "Their father was away at work most of the time and when he came home he wanted supper and he read the newspaper at supper and after supper he went to bed. He didn't bother talking much to them, but around his bent head Connie's mother kept picking at her until Connie wished her mother was dead and it was all over." (Oates 380) Wow! Now this is one frustrated young lady! Connie's father never even looks at her when he talks, as if the newspaper and everything else in the world serves a higher importance then his own daughter. Connie wishes her mother would just die, because she attacks Connie's character so much. The book displays a relationship that is much more realistic in accordance with Connie's attitude and desires.
