Lit Focus: Camp Harmony Q.4

Sone describes her mother as "poetic and yet so practical". It mean her mother, at the same time, is optimistic / dreamy and pragmatic / realistic.

One example for her being optimistic and dreamy is when she wanted to cultivates the dandelions. I think optimistic and dreamy person usually want things to be pretty and Sone's mother want to cultivate the dandelions to make the room a bit more beautiful.

For being pragmatic and realistic, Sone's mother was happy because their room is nearby the latrine, or toilet. Pragmatic and realistic people usually feel happy whenever they found things are beneficial for them. Having a toilet near their place is their advantage because they don't have to walk very long to get to the toilet.
