Kavitha and Mustafa

The beginning of the story created a very curious feeling from me. Having me ask questions about why would the train stop? From the short reading of the opening of the story, it introduces characters that are going to make an impact to the main characters lives. These characters were the train robbers. They created a new dynamic for a change to happen between the characters as the series of events are leading on.

The section where the writer introduces Kavitha was peculiar because you're learning her background story involving her culture and her marriage. The last sentence of that section "but she secretly wondered if perhaps that is what it would take to bring his gaze to life: violence" could possibly be a foreshadow of something that will happen later in the story as the set of robbers continues to interact with Kavitha and the rest of the characters in the story. They specifically talk about how dull Kavitha's husband is and how she finds that this situation can be exciting enough to be entertained by. Kavitha talks about how she can move on with her life if something were to happen to her husband.

I feel that there will be a huge character development after the train robbery towards Kavitha.
