What were the options that Sophie was dreaming of? Why does Jansie discourage her from having such dreams?  

Answer:

Sophie dreamt of starting a boutique with the money she would earn as a manager. She visualized herself as the English fashion designer, Mary Quant, with the best shop in the city or else of becoming an actress. Infact, she wanted to do something that she thought was 'sophisticated'. Jansie was more practical and did not want Sophie to talk of such unrealistic ventures. She knew that both of them were likely to end up working for the biscuit factory.
