Where Are You Going. Where Have you Been? Point of View

The third person point of view delves into the mind of the heroin of this story, Connie. When described from an unknown source Connie is a sympathetic character. The narrator tells the audience of the many thoughts Connie has. These thoughts are usually immature. But the narrator does not put any judgement or harshness when talking about Connie's intimate feelings. Instead this point of view has no trace of judgements or biased that a first person narrative would contain. Even when her mother and sister are being discussed Connie's own voice is inserted like when she talks of her mother and says, "now her looks were gone and that was why she was always after Connie,". This shows the way the narrator effectively tells the story and shows Connie's thoughts and behavior.
