In Joyce Carol Oates story, “Where are You Going, Where have You Been,” Oates sets up biblical references to the settings to allow the reader to connect the characters to biblical figures. The first major setting for biblical innuendos is the drive-in restaurant. Oates describes the restaurant as “a big bottle, through squatter than a real bottle, and on its cap was a revolving figure of a grinning boy holding a hamburger a loft” (Oates 1) which first establishes the biblical allusions. The revolving figure at top the drive-in restaurant is an allusion to the stepal atop a church. “Their faces pleased and expectant as if they were entering a sacred building that loomed up out of the night to give them what haven and blessing they yearned for”(Oates 1) Oates uses the restaurant as a place of peace and escape for Connie from a demanding mother, much like a church is an escape for sinners.

“Ecclesiastes presents a naturalistic vision of life, one that sees life through distinctively human eyes, but ultimately recognizes the rule and reign of God in the world,” according to Chuck Swindoll. The book of Revelation emphasizes that Christ will return someday to establish his kingdom of justice, and righteousness, and make all the wrong happening stop.

Because the terminology of Ecclesiastes is assembling or to gather from one person in life, and the meaning of Revelation is uncovering

For this reason, each of the congregation members is touched by the fire. Edwards, however, has no fire or flood below him. This plays into ethos.
