Expectations

After watching the movie in English these past couple of days, I have thought about the expectations people have for each other. In the movie, the character Moushumi surprised the whole crowd as she appeared far more rebellious than expected. From the text we read, I had imagined an innocent, grieving woman and foreshadowed only a slight change in appearance between her childhood and adult years. However, as you all know, Moushumi came out with a much more confident and striking appearance. This makes me wonder how others expect me to appear from just descriptions of my character. There have been multiple times when I have met someone and realize the complete misjudgment I had of them. Ironically, I seem to forget my assumed images of the person and only see them as they first appear. I would not be surprised if others have found the same thing to occur when meeting me. This proves that one should not make assumptions before they witness first hand. Many times, one can meet a complete surprise.
