Teenage is when the child steps out of the world of toys and is welcomed by the reality outside. Books give him knowledge and his future stands in front of him, from which the decision to choose is up to him. Children at this age have different types of dreams and they try to fulfill them.

Teenage is when the child steps out of the world of toys and is welcomed by the reality outside. Books give him knowledge and his future stands in front of him, from which the decision to choose is up to him. Children at this age have different types of dreams and they try to fulfill them. But most children have dreams that are unrealistic. They don’t know the struggles of real life and what the difference is between dreams and reality. Like Sophie had a dream to become an actress but she didn’t have money to go to acting school or open a boutique, because she was from a lower middle class family and she could not fulfill her dream even after taking loan. Or someone has a dream that he should become the Prime Minister of the country and serve the nation but he does not have money to contest elections. We call such dreams as unrealistic dreams.
If you have a desire in your heart that’s so strong you dream of it night and day, its certain that the dream will come true. The only thing you require is to have a zeal or passion to achieve it. There should be dreams in life for which we are firm and concentrated to achieve. Another aspect of dreaming leads to the destruction of teenagers is that it sometimes leads them to despair, depression or suicide. If there is mental stress due to dreaming of any kind, it is obviously a deal of loss.
Everyone has the right to dream but Sophie should have had dreams that could come true considering her financial background. First she should have tried to strengthen her financial background and supported her father. However, her focus was only on weaving dreams of opening a boutique, becoming an aRead more
Everyone has the right to dream but Sophie should have had dreams that could come true considering her financial background. First she should have tried to strengthen her financial background and supported her father. However, her focus was only on weaving dreams of opening a boutique, becoming an actress or going on dates with celebrities. Jansie tried a lot to bring her on the right path, but those things were rarely understood by her. Sophie also dreamed of dating Danny Casey and discussed these things in the family as well. She felt scared but happy inside that a celebrity liked her or came to meet her. However, some people understand only by stumbling in life and Sophie was one of those. This was the reason when she waited for Danny the next week and he did not come, she was very disappointed and felt sad. All thoughts, good and bad, were always running in her mind. Day dreaming had become a habit.
Sophie belongs to a lower middle class family who could hardly meet necessities of daily life. Luxury was a distant thing for them. This story shows that she lived in a normal house. She had a bed and a stove in the same room with lots of dirty clothes lying on floor. His brother Derek also used toRead more
Sophie belongs to a lower middle class family who could hardly meet necessities of daily life. Luxury was a distant thing for them. This story shows that she lived in a normal house. She had a bed and a stove in the same room with lots of dirty clothes lying on floor. His brother Derek also used to make fun of her for strange dreams. Geoff was an apprentice mechanic and his father too didn’t have a very good job. And keeping all these things in mind, dreams of becoming an actress or opening a boutique used to take Sophie far away from reality. Only a miracle could make her dreams come true.
