“He never went out to the park at Guildford, so he never saw his people: his dark, silent staring people, his rowdy, brawling, drunk people.
He was white now.”
In the short story “Going Home” by Archie Weller, we come across some problems about being black, but feeling like a white person.
The story is written in 1986 by Archie Weller, who is an Australian author.
We do not hear a lot about the setting, but we know that our main character William Jacob Woodward aka Billy Flares, went to a college in Perth. Before that he lived Koodup as 16 years old, with his mum, dad, brother and cousin.
There is one main character, William Jacob Woodward.He is 21, and a handsome boy, he is a half-cast, well dressed but a smoker, nice and clean clothes, his hair is well-groomed. He has a new car, new clothes, and new life. His movements are elegant and delicate. A handsome youth, with beautiful features of his white grandfather. P.118 L.14. We know that he is an artist, and that he had his first exhibition of painting a month before he turned 21. He is tall and with sensitive lips. And he was a professional football player. His father Teddy Woodward died when he was 19, but no one told him in many years.
