Hugging Man

In my point of view i think that Lakshmi felt this way because since Lakshmi has been in the happiness house nothing much has really happened to her , and i think that she just wanted that moment where a person would respect her as a person and treat her as human and not just a toy.Instead of trying to say thank you , Lakshmi didn't. She didn't because she felt it wasn't enough to tell the man how much it meant to her , for once to be treated as a person . On page 176 "He did not simply stand and zip his trousers when he was finished, or fall heavily asleep on top of me the some do.He didn't fix his hair in the mirror and walk out without a word" ,"He held me".This shows that Lakshmi was happy that she met a guy like him because unlike her other customers he didn't fall asleep on her , instead he thanked her and walked out the room.Lakshmi waits for the hugging man to come back because the hugging man truly has shown Lakshmi kindness and caring towards her.
