Answer:- There were only a few months left when both Sophie and Jansie would pass out from school. Jansie knew that they were both ‘earmarked for the biscuit factory’. It was also possible that they could get some work in a shop. In spite of Sophie’s wild dreams Jansie knew what they were earmarked for.

Answer:- Sophie lived in a dreamy world. She wanted to open a boutique. She wanted to have the most amazing shop that city had ever seen. The other option was to be an actress. She also thought of becoming a fashion designer. Jansie had her feet firmly planted on the ground. She wanted Sophie to be sensible and drop all her utopian plans.

Answer:- Sophie knew her father well. She didn’t want that he should know about her meeting with Casey. He could be angry. This is exactly what happened. Geoff told his father that Sophie had met Danny Casey. He turned his head to look at her with disdain. Sophie wriggled where she was sitting.

Answer:- No, Geoff doesn’t seem to believe Sophie’s meeting with Danny Casey. He says: “It’s never true.” Again he repeats, “I don’t believe it”. He asks, “... What does he look like?”.So he doesn’t seem to be convinced that Sophie met Casey.

Answer:- No, Sophie’s father doesn’t believe her story. No doubt, he is crazy and a great fan of young Danny Casey. But when Geoff tells him that Sophie met Danny Casey, his father turns his head to look at her. He ignores her totally. He thinks that this is another of her ‘wild story’.

Answer:- Geoff is an apprentice mechanic. He doesn’t share Sophie’s wild dreams. He speaks little. She is jealous of his silence. She wishes she can share those unknown areas of his life. She imagines riding behind Geoff to the world of fantasy.

Answer:- Jansie told Sophie that Geoff gave the news of her meeting with Danny Casey. Sophie was startled. She cursed Geoff doing such a thing. “It wasn’t a Jansie kind of thing at all”. It was meant to be something special between Geoff and her. Jansie was ‘nosey’. Now the whole neighbourhood would come to know of the whole story.

Answer:- No, Sophie didn’t really meet Danny Casey. She was very much fascinated by the young Irish footballer. She imagined him coming to meet her. She sat there waiting for Casey. She knew that he would not come. She felt sad and disappointed. She was always lost in a dreamy world where she imagined nothing but Casey.

Answer:- She saw Danny in person only on one occasion. The family went to watch United on Saturday. She watched how United won two-nil. Her idol Casey drove in the second goal. She saw how he goaled beating the goalkeeper. Sophie glowed with pride.

Answer:- Sophie and Jansie are students of a senior class. Only a few months were left when they would pass out of school. They are ‘good’ friends too. But in tastes and temperaments they are poles apart. Sophie is not a girl of this world. She floats constantly in a fairyland. She has fantastic dreams and doesn’t want to come out of them. She is an incurable escapist. On the other hand, Jansie is every inch a girl of ‘this’ world. She keeps her feet firmly planted on land.

Sophie and Jansie have different attitudes towards life and things. Sophie wants to open a boutique. She also entertains the idea of being an actress. She aspires to be a fashion designer too. She doesn’t know how she can do all these things. Jansie knows well that ‘they were earmarked for the biscuit factory’. She even advises Sophie to be sensible and practical.
Sophie can’t open her heart to Jansie. She has no faith in Jansie. She is ‘nosey’ trying to know every new thing about others. She fears that Jansie can’t digest the news of her meeting with Casey. The whole neighbourhood will come to know of it soon.

2. How would you describe the character and temperament of Sophie’s father?
āĻāĻĒুāύি āĻāĻĢিā§° āĻĻেāĻāϤাāĻā§° āĻā§°িāϤ্ā§° āĻā§°ু āϏ্āĻŦāĻাā§ą āĻেāύেāĻĻā§°ে āĻŦā§°্āĻŖāύা āĻā§°িāĻŦ?
Answer:- A.R.Barton draws Sophie’s father in parts. He gives a ‘sketchy’ picture of his character and temperament. He has a plump face looking grimy and sweaty. He doesn’t seem to be a soft or sophisticated man. On the other hand, he gives a picture of aggressive manliness. Sophie seems to fear him. He doesn’t believe in his daughter’s ‘wild stories’. He is a crazy football fan of Irish footballer Casey.
Sophie’s father is in his true element when he talks of football. He hopes that Casey may be even better than Tom Finny. On Saturday, he goes to watch United with Sophie Geoff and little Derek. United wins two-nil and Casey drives in the second goal. He goes to a pub to celebrate the victory.

3. Why did Sophie like her brother Geoff more than any other person? From her perspective, what did he symbolise?

Answer:- Sophie likes her brother Geoff more than any other person in the world. She can open her heart to him. She knows that Geoff is the person who can listen to her ‘wild stories’. Her father is too bossy and aggressive. He hates Sophie’s fantastic stories. Jansie is her classmate and friend. But Jansie is ‘nosey’. She can’t be trusted. But Geoff can be trusted to keep all Sophie’s secrets to himself.
Sophie likes and loves Geoff very much. She is eager to share even those areas of his life about which she knows nothing. She is jealous of his silence. Words have to be prized out of him. Geoff is the only one she can talk to about Danny Casey. Geoff is always the first to share her interests. In his own way he tries to tell her that ‘Casey must have strings of girls’. He would never show up again. But he does so in a manner that may not break the young heart of a day-dreamer.

4. What socio- economic background did Sophie belong to? What are the indicators of her family’s financial status?

Answer:- We can make a general assessment of socio-economic background of Sophie and her family. They belong to a lower middle class family. Jansie and Sophie are classmates and friends. Sophie is an escapist. She dreams of things that she can’t get in real life. She dreams of opening a boutique and becoming a fashion designer. Jansie knows that they are both already earmarked for the biscuit factory. Sophie’s wild dreams need a lot of money. Little Derek understands his unrealistic sister well. He asks: “She thinks money grows on trees...Dad?”.

Her socio-economic background is reflected by her brother Geoff occupation. He is an apprentice mechanic. He travels to his work each day to the far side of the city. His jacket is shapeless. Her father lacks sophistication. He grunts and tosses one of little Derek’s shoes from his chair onto the sofa. The family doesn’t own a servant or a car. All these things confirm that they belong to a lower-income group.
