Going Places

Question

Wired Faculty App

Contrast Sophie’s real world with her fantasies.

Solution

Sophie is a girl of day dreaming and fantasing nature. She had a close friend named Jansie. While returning from their way back to house form school, both discussed their possibilities to do some after schooling. Sophie’s flight took off from boutique to shop-manager to an actress-cum-boutique owner to a fashion designer. Even then both the girls were earmarked for a biscuit factory.

Like every young girl, Sophie also fancied that the world was prepared to greet her. She also had in her fancies a strong feeling of knowing the unknown, seeing the unseen and even meeting and welcoming the strangers. Though her father forbade her yet she expected Geoff to acquaint her to all new and strange things, people and places. She fancied the world greeting and applauding them.

Finally in her fantasizing she had a lover Danny Casey in her mind. She visited the perfect place for lovers and sat on the solitary wooden bench under the tree. She waited for her lover coming out of shadows but there was no sign of him. She became burdened with sadness. Thus Sophie’s real world-dreams and fansies as well as disappointments were all of her own creations.
