Connie is a 15 year old teenage who is interested in boys as well as the other girls. She is generally opposite with her mother and because she is young I guess, her mother mostly reminds Connie’s sister who is 24. Many boys are interested with but only Arnold Friend took her attention so much. We can imagine the story’s time by the music of Bob Dylan. So i think that the time is when ”Rock and Roll” theme emerged like 60s. Arnold is a insistent guy because he went to Connie’s house and he stated that he is interested with her by saying ‘ You are cute’. In the end of the story it is not stated that she is staying or going but I think she is obviously going with Arnold instead of staying at home with her complaining mother.
