WHERE ARE YOU GOING? WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN?




I think, the interesting point of this story is usage of symbols. Writer has shaped the words to represent many various things. These different approaches contribute to story’s infrastructure positively. As wee can see the story, main concept is related to the adolescence period, some confusions which depend on this period and its effects. The girl who called Connie has lots of conflict about her life style, age and character. In adolescence period, her general approach and points of view has changed gradually in that she passed a new term which is different from childhood period. Writer has utilized the door for representing transmission form the girl to woman. Phone cord is used in the story instead of umbilical cord. Apart from these two symbols, some numbers also illustrates another meaning of sexual intercourse. I think, these representations make the story more intriguing and attractive.
