In “The Temp” Karen the principal character was the beautiful Asian woman with a perfect sophistication. At the moment when she came to the office her first impression was excellent for mates who went to work with her. They admire the temp from the moment they saw her. Even in the moment when Karen said the first words, they thought that she was a wonderful woman. “She talked and French-inhaled simultaneously and it made her look smart” (Kahaney 293).
