Joyce Carol Oates in “Where Are You Going, Where Have You Been?” starts off with description of the protagonist, Connie. Connie is depicted…

To begin, I appreciated learning about hostile sexism and benevolent sexism. I had understood the concept of these types before reading about them, but I didn’t have the language to articulate them. The article “7 Examples Of Benevolent Sexism That Are Just As Harmful As Hostile Sexism” by Suzannah Weiss helped to open my eyes to the ways benevolent sexism is a part of everyday life.

Similarly, after reading just a few pages of the novel, I see how elements of fairy tale are used in order to create a motif or morals like a fairy tale does. For example, as the author states, “…some fairy-tale figure in a red cloak, descending towards a moment of carelessness that is the same as…
