उत्तर
Both the girls are sky apart. Jansie was simple, practical, a realist and down to earth. She was well aware of her family background and their affordability. She was well aware of her middle class status. She never indulged in hollow dreams. She was a good friend as she always advised her to be practical.
Sophie on the other hand wanted to live in dreams and fantasies. She ran away from realities and had an escapist nature. It had made her thinking wild and impractical. She was always indulged in impossible plans. First she thought of setting up a boutique and then became confident on becoming a manager or an actress. She thought that world was ready to receive her with open arms. As a true dreamer she convinced herself of meeting Danny Casey and having a date with him.
