How Is Sophie Presented In The Bfg

Appearance Does Not Show Your Character In the book The BFG by Roald Dahl, the fact that the BFG is a 24-foot tall giant, does not mean he acts like one. On page 17, the BFG captures Sophie and as the story goes on a couple more pages, Sophies learns who the BFG actually is. Sophie was frightened that the BFG had captured her because she thought he was a scary human eater, but she learns that he is not and they create a friendly relationship.
