Hey everyone. I'm Danielle Byington and in this 
video we're going to talk about "Where Are You  

2
00:00:25,840 --> 00:00:33,520
Going? Where Have You Been?" by Joyce Carol Oates 
and I'm going to pluck out some elements based on  

3
00:00:33,520 --> 00:00:41,520
civics, science, and culture that can help you 
better find an idea a topic a thesis statement  

4
00:00:41,520 --> 00:00:46,080
for some of your assignments like your paper 
proposals or maybe your final paper or even  

5
00:00:46,800 --> 00:00:55,520
the minor responses throughout the semester so 
let's start with civics. When using civics, at  

6
00:00:55,520 --> 00:01:02,720
what point can we label Arnold Friend's behavior 
as stalking and if Connie could call the police,  

7
00:01:02,720 --> 00:01:08,400
what might he be charged with? When using 
science, there's a lot of psychology to apply.  

8
00:01:08,960 --> 00:01:13,920
When looking at Connie's mother, you might 
consider ideas like narcissistic parenting.  

9
00:01:15,040 --> 00:01:22,800
The story is also published in 1966; this 
is right on the cusp of criminal profiling  

10
00:01:22,800 --> 00:01:29,920
beginning to be a thing and developed by the 
FBI. When looking at the cultural elements of the  

11
00:01:29,920 --> 00:01:37,520
story, you might start by looking at the allusions 
to Bob Dylan that the author makes. The connection  

12
00:01:37,520 --> 00:01:45,040
of that and the death of innocence--that's also 
related to this concept of something called death  

13
00:01:45,040 --> 00:01:50,560
and the maiden or now you have it a lot in modern 
television series and films called the beautiful  

14
00:01:50,560 --> 00:02:07,840
dead girl trope. Consider taking any of these 
ideas and applying them in your paper proposal.

15
00:02:21,680 --> 00:02:21,760
