The story Where Are You Going? Where Have You Been? by Carol Oates is a creepily bizarre story. First looking I this story, I wondered why this story was detected to Bob Dylan? How does a musician have anything to do related to a story about rap and kidnap? Maybe it's something that happened in Bob Dylan's life that nobody know's about. Who knows? Although this was a scary and weird story, I found it a little ironic, because it is about a girl, Connie, who is restrained by her mother in life to do the things she wants to, and she wants the leave her "awful" life, and she uses boys to escape that life. And then, she is forcibly forced to leave her house, being kidnapped and rapped, by a boy; the same things she uses to get away from her normal life. The thing she thought was good turned out to be bad and scary. Overall, this was just a creepy story, and I did not have fun for it, because I just felt bad the entire time for the situation Connie was put in at the end.
Here is a song that I feel captures my mood of this story:

It is the famous Moonlight Sonata by Ludwig van Beethoven, and I wouldn't say that this makes me feel sad, but it's a certain mood I feel after reading stories like this one. It's a hard mood to describe, but it is very particular, and if you know what I'm talking about, you will just know after hearing the song and reading this piece. I can't put the emotion in words, but it is a very distinctive one. One of my favorite classical piece, by the way.
Here is another cool song that can relate to this:
