Answer:
Character analysis of mini
Explanation:
Mini is the only child of the narrator and his wife. At the beginning of the story, she is a talkative, inquisitive, and energetic five-year-old. She is very close with her father, preferring him instead of her short-tempered mother who frequently scolds her for talking too much and asking too many questions. As a child, Mini spends a lot of time in her father’s study, hanging out with him while he works on his novel. One day, she sees Rahamat, a local fruit vendor, coming down the road and starts yelling “Kabuliwala” at him until she gets his attention and he comes over with his boxes of grapes and nuts. Mini is shy and afraid of him at first, but unbeknownst to the narrator, Rahamat and Mini gradually strike up a friendship. The narrator discovers this one day when he walks out of the house and sees Rahamat sitting with Mini and eagerly listening to her talk. Later, Mini tells the narrator about some of the inside jokes she has with Rahamat and that he comes over almost every day. The friendship between the two flourishes as long as Rahamat is in town, but soon he has to leave to return home to Afghanistan. However, before he leaves, he is arrested after an altercation with a customer. The last time Mini sees him that year is when he is being taken away in handcuffs. Mini forgets about Rahamat after he goes to jail, and she also starts spending less time with her father as the years go by, preferring the company of other children. Eight years later, Rahamat is released from jail on Mini’s wedding day. Rahamat pleads with the narrator to let him see Mini, but Mini is shy, uncomfortable, and doesn’t respond to him the way she did when she was five. This interaction leaves Mini’s father feeling sad that she is so different, and Rahamat anxious about what kind of changes might have happened in his own daughter, Parvati (who was about Mini’s age when Rahamat left, which explains why he was so drawn to Mini at first) since he last saw her.
