a) Sophie is depicted in the story, Going Places, as a daydreamer who is constantly trying to run away from the reality.
- She is unable to acknowledge the reality of the situation in which she lives, the kind of family background that she has and her future there.
- She does not make any effort to fight for those dreams to make them come true. She lives in a fantasy and imagination realm of make-believe where she has all the luxuries she doesn't really have.
- One can easily say that Jansie and Sophie are contrasting characters in the plot. Their approach to life is, itself, distinctive.
- Jansie is a realistic girl who believes strongly in reality, while Sophie tends to live in her daydreams without any concern for the life's realities.
- Jansie is quick and pragmatic in order to realize their situation and the kind of life they can afford to live, in the factory. On the other hand, Sophie tries to run away from reality and hopes to become a manager or a fashion designer.
