Question -
Answer -
Sophie belongs to a poor, mediocre family. But she aspires to have a boutique though she has neither means nor resources for it. Then she wants to be a manager till she saves enough money to buy a boutique. Jansie, who is more practical, tells Sophie to be sensible because it will take a very long time to save for that purpose. Then she thinks that she would be an actress because there is real money in it. Besides it, she can then open a boutique.
Sophie is a sort of day-dreamer. She wants to achieve in her dreams what the life has denied her. Her social life is confined to her school only. So she craves to see the vast world about which she is totally unaware. She dreams of meeting persons like Danny Casey, a talented Irish sportsman. But nobody believes her when she says that she met him. She imagines meeting Danny when she waits in the park. But he did not turn up. Thus we can say that SophieтАЩs dreams and disappointments are all in her mind.
