a) Twinkle is a very pretty, young Indian woman, who likes to get dressed up and look good. Her face was very girlish looking and had untroubled eyes. Her name in itself shows she's a fun girl. In the story it states she loved to wear high heels, some that were three inches and leopard print. This shows that she's fun and likes to be seen. It also said that she wore some black stirrup pants and a yellow chenille sweater. So she can still look cute dressing down too. It also says that she had an appointment for a manicure and pedicure before the party so she doesn't like to just dress good, but look good all the way around. What she wears to the party is also described as very elegant and classy, but fun at the same time. Twinkle definitely has a sense of style.
b) "Guess what I found", was the first thing Twinkle said in the story. By this first statement, it proved to me that she was a fun girl, not wanting to just tell Sanjeev what it is she found, but to play a game with him to figure it out. When she says, "I would feel terrible throwing them away," shows that she is also a very caring person. Even to people she doesn't know. Twinkle also made compromises with Sanjeev by telling him she would hide her new "treasures" behind the door or out of the way in the lawn. Twinkle also did not have the same taste in music as Sanjeev did because when he was listening to his music she told him to turn it off because it was putting her to sleep. Twinkle also proved that she doesn't care what people think by constantly asking Sanjeev why he always cares what people think because clearly she doesn't care. I also noticed that Twinkle is very outgoing and definitely a people person. She knows how to start a conversation and to keep guests entertained with different stories she would tell and what not.
c) Twinkle definitely likes to smoke. She's constantly smoking throughout the story. Usually, smoking is a release of stress and other things. So I assume her smoking was a way of just letting her troubles go. Twinkle also likes to tease Sanjeev. I noticed this by the way she carried herself the times when she would squeeze his leg or his arm. She likes to read when she's bored, but also talk to her girlfriends on the phone. I think this shows she's easily entertained. She's also very carefree because she leaves clothes at the front of her closet, would read whatever magazine, and listen to whatever song on the radio. She gets excited by the little things in life. Like when Sanjeev always refilled her glass when they would go out together. As fun loving and carefree as she is though, she likes to read things like Sonnets and German films and was getting her masters degree. So Twinkle was also very intelligent. Even though she was not the greatest in the kitchen, she came up with a dish on her own and it even tasted good. This shows she's creative too. I also think that Twinkle liked to keep her emotions to her since she cried once in the story and that was the only time Sanjeev had ever seen her cry. I don't think she was crying just because of statue, but it had built up and that was the final straw. Twinkle also shows leadership. She took it upon herself to entertain the guests and get them interested in something they probably wouldn't normally be interested in. But by her enthusiasm she got them excited and they followed her wherever she went.
d) Sanjeev responded to Twinkle in many ways. In one instance, he would dote on her and how they met. In another he showed how much he cared by doing little things for her. Including holding her while she cried and compromising with her. On the other hand, he talked a lot about how annoying she was and would belittle her throughout the whole story. When the party guests arrived they ended up adoring Twinkle. They were with her the whole time and stayed by her side through her endeavors of finding a new "treasure". I can't decide if it made him jealous or even more annoyed. To me, it didn't seem that he truly loved her by the way he talked about her and to her.
e) The only thoughts that were shown was about Sanjeev and what he thought about Twinkle. The story didn't share hardly any of Twinkles' thoughts. Only about how much Sanjeev thought of Twinkle.
All in all, I think Twinkle has the whole package, minus the being organized and tidy part.
