Oh, the Places You’ll Go! was the last book published before Dr. Seuss died. Seuss’s last book tells the story of life and is by far Seuss’s most influential story.

Oh, the Place You’ll Go! includes a lesson on practically every page. A young boy begins his journey in his small town and ventures forth into the world and discovers new sights and new people. Seuss gives descriptions throughout story about how to carry on through the high and low points of life. “You’re on your own. And you know what you know. And YOU are the guy who’ll decide where to go.” “Wherever you fly, you’ll be the best of the best.

    331 Words  | 1 Pages

    Tim O’Brien utilizes the setting in “Where Have You Gone, Charming Billy?” to portray a theme centering around courage. Throughout the story, Private First Class Paul Berlin and his fellow soldiers are supporting the American effort in the Vietnam War, which, unmistakably takes place in Vietnam. Vietnam is a long, thin nation full of verdant jungle and high hills— perfect terrain for growing rice in paddies. The nation also has an extensive coastline entirely on the South China Sea. This geography (in particular, the inland landscape) fosters an environment well-suited for guerrilla warfare, a combat style that is characterized by fast and sneaky attacks in smaller groups. Because of these conditions, going into the jungle during the war is

    Music impacts most people on a daily basis as they go through their life, but in Joyce Carol Oates’s “Where Are You Going, Where Have You Been?” it is a driving force of the story.

Throughout the short story the protagonist named Connie is constantly focused on the music in her surroundings and it ranges from something to depend on to a way for people to connect to her and get inside her mind.

  • Reader Response Essay - Joyce Carol Oates's Where Are You Going, Where Have You Been?

    755 Words  | 2 Pages

    As I began reading “Where are you going, where have you been?” by Joyce Carol Oates I found myself relating the experiences of Connie, the girl in the story, to my own personal experiences. She spoke of going to a friend’s house and having her friend’s father drive them to the shopping mall so that they could walk around and socialize or go see a movie. I found that this related very closely with my own experiences of being fifteen years old because it was always someone else’s parents driving my friends and I to the movies or to the mall.

    The novel, Gulliver’s Travels, is just that, a novel about the main character, Gulliver who goes on many journeys. The part of this book that brings out the reader’s interest is Gulliver’s character and the ways his character changes as the story progresses. He begins as a naïve Englishman and by the end of the book he has a strong hatred for the human race. Gulliver shows that his adventures have taught him that a simple life, one without the complexities and weaknesses of human society, may be best, but the simple life he longed for should not have been the route he took.
