Clearly identify the narrative point of view that best explains the particular point of view used in the story as written on the page.

Discussion 5: Narrative Point of View (extra credit) For this extra credit discussion, carefully reread Oates’s story ""Where are You Going, Where Have You Been?" (pages 64-76), paying particular attention to its narrative point of view. Clearly identify the narrative point of view that best explains the particular point of view used in the story as written on the page. Take notes on how this narrative point of view affects how the story is told, how its scenes unfold, how we understand the main character and her conflict through these scenes, through the thought-life of its character, and ultimately how narrative point of view shapes readers’ understanding of what the story means. Next, watch the short film adaptation of this same short story, "Where are You Going, Where Have You Been?" (See the included link to the film on Vimeo). Pay attention to the narrative point of view created in the film: in particular how the point of view of the story is unavoidably altered or made different by translating the original story through the lens of a camera and through the recorded actions, words, and sounds of a movie. How does adapting the story into the medium of film change the narrative point of view? Finally, write a short essay where your thesis supports and explains your answer to this question: how does adapting Oate’s story into film, and thereby altering its narrative point of view, significantly change the meaning the original story that you read on the page?
