Answer:
Sophie's views, whether it is her ambitions, or her brother Geoff's life, or her meeting with Danny, are all a figment of her imagination. She is confident of becoming an actress and then having a boutique on the side, though she has neither a decent house nor any material comfort. The realistic view is reflected through Jansie who knew that they would both most likely end up working in the biscuit factory.
Sophie notices her brother Geoff fidgeting with a part of his motorcycle. He was an apprentice mechanic but she imagined that he visited places that she had never seen. These places were mysterious and distant. She longed to be introduced to those places and people. She believed that the vast world awaited her.:;She imagined herself riding there behind Geoff. She visualized him wearing new, shining black' leathers and she, a yellow dress with a kind of cape that flew out behind. She could picture the world appreciating them.
Sophie had never met Danny Casey, a sports star, but she did tell her family that she had met him in the shopping mall looking at the clothes in Royce's window where he had come and stood beside her. She even tried to convince Geoff that he was a simple guy, unlike his image. But, her father knew it to be another one of her wild stories and was afraid that she would get herself into a lot of trouble.
In fact, she believed in her fantasizing to such an extent that she walked by the canal, and went and sat on a wooden bench under an elm to wait for Danny. After a while of waiting, she imagined him coming. She also imagined her own excitement. When quite some time had passed, she began accepting the fact that he was not coming.
