The short story “where are you going, where have you been”? was dedicated to Bob Dylan because the Author was inspired after listening to his song “Its all over now baby blue”. Connie did not feel appreciated at home because her mother always criticized her and always comparing her to her sister June, so she uses her looks and action to get attention from boys. Connie’s relationship with her mother and sister were unfortunate, the mother always make a references to June because she were more responsible. Her father seems like he’s very distant at home and that maybe is also a problem in her eyes. This was very sad to read!

Hello Kathyann! I enjoyed reading your discussion! I wrote something about Connie looking for love in the world in my own discussion as well! It is truly upsetting that she did not have a strong relationship with her parents growing up, I don’t even think that she had a strong relationship with her sister as well. She probably thought that she was much better than Connie because of all the praise that she had received. I wish that they included more details about June and Connie’s relationship because I feel that it would help me to explain her character better and why she looks for love out in the world.
Please be sure to address the prompt for the week, which asks students to reference the literary critique by Rena Korb in Activity 2.
