Hi, I will be posting about which part of the book Village by the Sea do I like best.
Well, my favourite is from chapter 4 to chapter 12 of the book because thats where Hari's adventure starts and ends which gripped me to read on. In chapter 4, Hari decided to leave his comfort zone to look for a better life in Bombay as he could not tolerate the troubles of his dysfunctional family. It was between these chapters when Hari and his family's life turn for the better. Hari manage to get a job by helping Jagu, the owner of the Sri Krishna Eating house, and Mr Panwallah, who took him as an apprentice and taught him watch mending. Without these benefactors, Hari would not be able to get his earnings which he brought back for his family later in the story. As for his family, his sisters manage to get help from the de Silvas who brought their ill mother to the hospital for treatment. This made me happy for him.
Hari was a strong, brave and decisive boy. The problems of his family did not wear him down but instead made him stronger in a sense that he went to Bombay to get a job to help his family. This encouraged me to strive for excellence despite countless struggles cause that's what makes a person stronger.
