Describe the social background and the life of the people after your reading the story ‘Going Places?’

In the story ‘Going Places’, author A. R. Barton had clearly depicted the stages of helplessness and satisfaction in the lives of the middle class people. The members of that society are shown to be law-abiding, minding their own business and hardworking- Sophie’s father had been working hard throughout the day and even helping her mother in her chores.

Sophie’s brother Geoff had travel to a long way for his apprenticeship everyday. The gentsfolk had been very sincerely and sensibly maintaining their family peace, progress and happiness. Sophie’s mother had been carrying on with her family chores. She looked after the whole affairs of her family quietly.

The girls Sophie and Jansie had been seriously taking up their matters relating to life. Both had been discussing about work to be started after school. Even little Derek had the real brain of the elders on his shoulders. He was a clear and intelligent financial analyst. Even his sports forecast sounded like an expert comment ‘Ireland will win the World Cup.’ The teenagers have unrealistic dreams and believe in hero worship.
