Sanjeev and Twinkle

I decided to go with Twinkle. She is such a free spirit; it is hard not to like her.  It starts in the beginning of the story when you begin to see her curiousness. She is so excited to find the porcelain effigy of Christ and vinegar and while her husband finds no value in either, she insists that both have value.  Her husband is 33 so I would assume that Twinkle is also in her early 30’s maybe late 20’s.Twinkle finds some importance in these items and wants to keep them safe. When Sanjeev makes a comment towards her she just brushes it off. Twinkle just seems so carefree and happy, like nothing in the world could go wrong. With each item that is found she becomes obsessed with finding the next. Twinkle drinks and smokes and just wants to have fun at any possible moment.  I think that Twinkle is slightly taller than average and I would picture her to be thin, dark, and has long dark hair. I would think of Twinkle as being what people would typically call beautiful.

I don’t think she thinks very much about the consequences of her actions, such as talking on the found when long distance rates are at their highest, she is just very carefree. She just lets life happen and accepts it for what it is. I like the line on page 142; “She was life that, excited and delighted by little things, crossing her fingers before any remotely unpredictable event.” I just think that this sentence sums up her character perfectly.

            The others find Twinkle to be lovely, charming, and just fun. They immediately join her in her treasure hunt, which probably gets Twinkle even more excited about finding a new item.

            I guess my conclusion to this would just be that Twinkle is very likeable and a very relatable character.  I love how witty and free spirited she is. I love that you can just tell she lives life day by day, not worrying about what will happen tomorrow.
