    Sophie is the main character of the story who works in a biscuit factory but dreams of bigger things. She uses her vivid imagination to escape her everyday life and envisions opening her own boutique. While her friend Jansie is a realist, Sophie remains an optimistic dreamer. She is curious about the world beyond her town and loses herself in fantasies that often end in disappointment when faced with reality again. The character was chosen because she does not fear her destiny and uses delusions to escape mundane reality, which students can relate to as their generation faces many possibilities. The chapter reminds readers not to immerse themselves in fantasies as expectations can lead to harder falls when unmet

    Chapter 8- Going
    Places
     Character- Sophie
    (A delusionist)
    Character Sketch
     The story revolves around a delusionist named Sophie who lives in her own fantasy. She is a dreamer who
    yearns for something more than her everyday life at the biscuit factory. She uses her vivid imagination to
    escape into a world of possibilities and aspirations. She belongs to a middle-class family- somewhat poor-
    and still dreams of opening the best Boutique in her city. She's a pretty obstinate one too. Even though her
    friend Jansie- A realist- always throws buckets at her dreams but Sophie never changes. Sophie's aspirations
    are lofty, and she envisions herself being a manager who's a part- time actress and also have a special skill for
    fashion designer- really a three-in-one there. Sophie's curiosity about the world beyond her immediate
    surroundings is evident. She wishes to experience the vast world and seeks glimpses of it through her
    interactions with Geoff- her older brother. Sophie frequently loses herself in daydreams, blurring the lines
    between reality and her fantasies like when she did in case of Danny Casey. And due to such lot of
    daydreaming, she's bound to be disappointed when steeps back to reality.

    Reasons for which we picked this
    Character
     Doesn’t fears her destiny. Even though she's already
    earmarked to work at a biscuit factory, she doesn’t fears to
    dream for herself.
     An complex character which uses her delusions to escape
    from the mundane reality which holds her.
     Correlation with the character. We sympathize a lot
    with this character because this generation is vulnerable to
    so many possibilities in our vicinity and bound to
    Fantasies.

    Conclusion
     This chapter reminds us to have control over our own thoughts and imagination. Even when
    things are not supposedly going in our way, we shouldn’t just immerse ourselves to fantasies
    because such imaginations are expectations and higher are these expectations, the harder one
    falls with them.
