Sky High - the concept of journey

The short story, Sky High touches, on a range of journeys, both inner and physical. The most obvious journey taking place in this piece of writing is that of the young girl reaching the arms of the washing line. She begins in her back yard, and slowly makes her way up the climbing tree and onto the washing line, describing her surroundings and experiences as she goes. However, within this journey, the young girl climbing the tree takes on a journey of her own. By the end of the piece, the young girl has both grown in age and in maturity, allowing her experiences to shape herself and her decision making.
