In 150 words, describe one of the specific metaphors in "Life Without Go-Go Boots." Explain how the writer uses this metaphor to convey tthe theme of the story.

In “Life Without Go-Go Boots,” we meet Barbara, who is the protagonist of the story. Throughout the story, Barbara is extremely interested in new fashion trends, and she always wants to wear whatever is popular and trendy at the moment.
