Plot summary: This short story is going to take about some questions asked

between a girl and Sally. From the beginning till the end, these two girls have no more

idea about each other; they suspect each others identity all the way, but havent got

any answer. During their conversation, audience will be led into concerning about

three main philosophical questions, who are you? Where are you from? Where are

you going? After the girl woke up, she found it was just a dream, but what happened

on her also get her into three questions as above.

Theme: In the story, Sally represents true self of the girl, and the girl represents

the realistic one in reality.

When everything changed and nothing we can get acquainted with, the only

answer we can find is from ourselves. When you cannot use your name to define

yourselves, when you cannot find a house to go for, when you cannot figure out where

are you from in geography, things from reality seems not reliable at all.

Sally is the girl, and the girl is Sally herself in the story, all considered, they are
each other. Sally in the dream is from the future and the girl still live at present. The

reason why Sally doesnt has a head is that she is from the future, and the present

Sally cannot see her face of future, whats more, Sally doesnt know the answer, thus

her true self is incomplete. Only can they think together would they find the answer.

We find ourselves both from inside and outside, by any experience from single

side is hard to find the answer. Always ask yourself these three questions, you will

know more about the reason and the final goal of your life.
