inner/outer

For last class we talked about the inner and outer personality that each person has. Most people do not take the time to analyze themselves so therefore people don't realize different layers that they have. The way that these layers work is God should be immersed in our lives and everyday thoughts, then the outer part that everyone can see or our surface level is next and lastly our inner self is deeply enbedded inside of us.

The differences between each of these personality level is quite different though most people will not see this unless they have taken the time to really think about themselves. The outer level is the easiest to know. That is a person's personality that you can see from watching them or seeing them or even listening to them speak. Most people do know this level of themselves. It's our persons that we carry from day to day. The inner self is the part that isn't easily understood. This is the part that we truly must seek out to understand if we want to know it. This is the part that is the 90% of the iceberg that is under the water.

When reading the Blessed House the two character used had both parts. At first I saw twinkle as just a bubbly, care-free wife who is just about the outer layer. She has the same friendly and care free personality throughout the story while her husband had alot of emotions flowing through his mind. As I read on the story at one point Twinkle was so upset that she started to cry, she has never been so upset in his presence before. At this point we get to see the inner levels of Twinkle. The emotions that she carried. Why was that silly religious figurine mean so much to her? We don't know but we know that she was very distrought over it. Throughout the story I thought that Sanjeev showed his inner levels alot. He seems to show the reader how he felt and why he felt the way he did. He had alot of anger that he carried with him, his esteem that he needed to keep up. One point in the story when we really saw his inner self was when he told Twinkle where her shoes were when her foot started to hurt. Both of these characters showed immense levels of the person thorughout the story.
