Analyze the ending of the story. for Where Are You Going, Where Have You Been?

Connie’s actions and perceptions don’t seem to suggest the exercise of free will. She loses control of herself, collapsing by the phone and later imagining that her body is not her own. In the end, she watches, disembodied, as her physical self walks through the threshold and out to Arnold Friend. Perhaps, as fractured as she is, Connie still retains the ability to decide to sacrifice herself for her family. Perhaps she is being controlled completely. The text is ambiguous.
