In the story ‘Going Places,’ the author A. R. Barton has successfully taken the reader to places. Elaborate.The author A. R. Barton has taken the readers to places through his main young female character Sophie. She was a very sweet and beautiful fantasizing teenager. In the first phase of the journey she took the reader in search for work. She wanted to have a superb boutique of her own. Or a shop manager Or she would become an actress to have real money. If not that, then she would become a fashion designer though it was a little sophisticated. Her such thinking made her friend Jansie melancholy because both were earmarked for the biscuit factory.
In the second phase of the journey she suspected the areas of Geoff life about which she knew nothing and he never spoke. When Geoff kept silent she thought him to be away somewhere out there in the world in those places she had never seen. The adjacent areas of the neighbouring country, its people, and thus she had developed a great fascination for them. Riding behind Geoff she took us to the world that one can go praised and greeted them.
In the final phase, from the Royce’s window, to Danny Casey the United’s first squad player. In her excitement and dreaming. Sophie waited under the elm tree near the canal. She pictured Danny Casey really outside Royce’s arcade again. But here she really could not get an autograph because neither had a pen. Thus throughout the story the reader goes on from place to place but there is no solid result. So the tittle. 'Going Places' is appropriate.
