Who is Your Favourite Character in Village by the Sea?

In Village by the Sea, my favourite character is Hari, because of many reasons. Firstly, he is very strong emotionally and did not run away from home. Instead, he was mature enough to take up the role of a parent, which is not easy given his age. Even though he hates his father, he knows that he has to find money to feed the family and pays off his debts. He even leaves his hometown in search of a better job to provide a better life for his family. Secondly, he was bold enough to ask help and even for a job when he was in Bombay. Many teenagers nowadays are very shy when they want to speak, especially at job interviews. They are given time to prepare and compose themselves before the interview but they still screw up at times. Thirdly, Hari has the passion for learning, which helped him gain an extra skill which helped him earn extra pocket money. He has shown to everyone the correct reasons why we are learning: to improve ourselves, to broaden our horizons, and lastly, because we are curious. Many students nowadays study only for: fame and wealth, certs and achievements and rewards from parents. Also, the school has placed so much pressure on the students that they have also forgotton the reason of learning. To sum up what I want to say, Hari is a "model student" that we should follow.
