bring out the difference in the character of sophie and jansie. ?

Sophie and Jansie were different from each other. Sophie was a dreamer who enjoyed creating her own fantasy world using her imagination. She showed an urge to transcend her working-class status and attain sophistication by pursuing the ambition of a fashion designer or an actress. Jansie, on the other hand, was more practical and realistic than Sophie. She tried to pull Sophie back to reality, but all in vain. Jansie’s sensibility and maturity are evident in her attempt to remind her friend that they were earmarked for the biscuit factory, and expensive dreams were inappropriate to their financial status.

Simple terms:
Jansie--------> Realistic, as she knows that their future is in the biscuit factory in the city.
Sophie--------> Complete contrast to Jansie, as she dreams of becoming an actor and having her own botique                              shop and so on. Though she knows that these will not happen she lives in such dreams.
