Almost all the things that happens in the book, takes place in Dar – es – Salaam, Tanganyika in South Africa. The historic time goes over a few years, from 1930 to 1950. When you’re reading the novel, you can notice that the author was very detailed in his description. I mean, it’s very easy to see that the historic time of the story was many years ago because the pictures in the book are very old, and World War 2 was a big part of the whole thing. The author is also dividing the story into different settings and different times. Some examples are when he is travelling to other places in South – Africa. Almost each section in the book deals with different times.
 * Setting**

The point of view in the book “Going Solo” is a1st person. It is largely told by the main character who is Roald Dahl. I also think the book reminds me very much about a diary. In every chapter, he is writing a letter to his mother who lives in England.
 * Point of view**

I also think that the novel have a clearly defined beginning, middle and end. That’s because in the beginning he tells us about when he is going to Africa, and in the middle he tells us about what’s happening in Africa and Dar – es – Salaam, and also the fact that he is going to fly to other places.
