1. Read Chapter 2 - Plot, pages 48-55 (skip pg. 54) 2. Read "Where Are you Going, Where Have You Been" pgs. 64-76 3. Answer the questions on pg. 76: (minimum 100-125 words per question) At what specific point in the story do your expectations about “where you are going” change? Why and how so? How might these shifts in your expectations relate to Connie’s? To what extent is the major conflict in Oates’s story external (between Connie and Arnold, Connie and her family, Connie and her milieu)? To what extent is it internal (within Connie herself)? Why might she act as she does at the story’s end? What happens next, or does it matter? Both Connie and Arnold Friend more than once suggest that he is, or should be, familiar to her. Aside from the fact she has seen him at least once before, why and how does he seem familiar? Why might that familiarity be significant, or how might it shape your sense of who Arnold is or what he might represent in the story?
