How do the decisions and actions of characters reveal their personalities? Every person comes face to face at some point in life with important decisions. Some of the decisions are small ones, while others can bring turning points in life. In Joyce Carol Oates' "Where Are You Going, Where Have You Been?' Connie was caught in the difficult transition from her youth and innocence to an uncertain future. Throughout the story Connie alternates between two very different sides of her personality, one side where she is innocent and young, and the other where she is mature. Connie’s character and her interaction with others allow us to grasp on how she came upon her final decision.

People can be transformed through their personal relationships and experiences with others. This can affect the way they feel about themselves overall, and the way they view themselves as a person can eventually influence the decisions they make in their everyday lives. In the story “Where Are You Going, Where Have You Been?,” written by Joyce Carol Oates, the main character, Connie, does not get the attention she desires from her family. Instead, her sister, June, who represents all of their family values unlike Connie, gets most of the attention. Due to this controversy, overtime Connie begins to get fed up with not receiving attention. Therefore, she becomes naïve, insecure, and a girl who is desperate for love, which then changes her aspects.

What tools can an individual use to judge the difference, or draw a line between, illusion and reality? In the story “Where are you, Where have you been?” the character Connie tries very hard to be independent and put up this front of a mature woman seeking independence, despite her prepubescent age of 15. The character Arnold Friend puts on the deception that he’s a teenager with his youthful clothes and his funny way of talking, despite his age of what...30 something? Both of them have put on a disguise for their personal gain. Connie is naive and is trying to find love in all the wrong places while trying to seem older than she actually is. And Arnold, Well, he’s just trying to murder her, among other things, like the psychopath he is. Both of these personas are revealed just to be performances when they encounter each other.
