Hello Everyone and Welcome to this Going Places Summary by A. R. Barton , Presented to you by Beaming Notes. Voice-Over and Narration : Anushree Sen ********************************************************************* Summary: In the beginning of the story, Sophie expresses to Jansie her desire to have her own boutique. Jansie responds to her wish by pointing out that it is an impractical idea as it takes a lot of money to do something like that. Sophie replies that she will become a manager and save the money needed to own her boutique. Jansie attempts to make realistic statements by telling Sophie that she knows that both of them are meant to work in the biscuit factory. She hoped that Sophie would be more practical and mature. When Sophie says that she wants to become an actress or a fashion designer and earn enough money to buy a boutique, Jansie tells her that if she ever has enough money then she should use it to buy a decent house to live in. As Sophie entered her house, Sophie saw her father grubby and sweaty from day’s work. The steam from the stove and the dirty washing piled up in the corner made Sophie feel claustrophobic. She went to look for her brother Geoff who was an apprentice mechanic who travelled to his work each day to the far side of the city. He was almost a grown-up and Sophie suspected areas of his life about which she knew nothing. Geoff didn’t speak much of his work which made Sophie jealous. She presumed that when he wasn’t speaking, he was thinking of the places that she had never seen. She wished that Geoff would take her along with him. Even though she knew that her father would forbid it from happening and that Geoff thought her too young, she was impatient. She imagined herself riding off to places behind Geoff in a yellow dress with a kind of cape that flew out behind. She pictured the world applauding their arrival. Sophie told her brother that she met Danny Casey in the arcade. He was sceptical of his sister’s claim but she convinced him eventually. Sophie told him that she was looking at the clothes in Royce’s window when Danny Casey came and stood beside her. She described his appearance to convince her brother. When her father entered the room, Geoff told him about Sophie’s encounter with Danny Casey. Her father responds that if Danny remains focussed then Casey might be a better player. Sophie said in favour of Danny that his ability is not to be questioned. When the father is informed that Sophie said that Danny was going to buy a shop, he dismisses them by calling it another of Sophie’s wild stories and sates that she is going to get herself in trouble one of these days. ********************************************************************* For an even more detailed Summary of the poem, Please visit our page on beaming notes, by clicking on the link below: https://beamingnotes.com/2018/04/16/summary-going-places-class-12-cbse/ Thanks for Watching!
