Which character do you like most in the Village by the Sea?

The character I like most in the book Village by the sea is Hari. I like Hari because of his determination to do the things that he wants, and he espescially hates people who are lazy, such as his drunk father whom always goes out every night to drink beer. His father sold all his possessions such as his fishing boat so as to be able to buy beer for himself. And because of this, Hari has to work now and is now the breadwinner of the family. Hari is also a hardworking boy. He works most of the day in Bombay so as to earn as much money as possible for his family. Since he is already supplied with food, he does not need to spend his money that he earned on buying his food, and thus he can save it for his family when he returns home. Hari cares for his family very much, especially his sisters and his mother. When he earned his money from working, he spent some of it in buying bracelets for his sisters, and sweets too, as he knows they loves sweets and bracelets.
When his mother needed extra attention as she was extremely sick, Lila, the oldest child at home, takes care of the mum. When Lila asked Hari to buy ice to cool their mum down, when Hari could have easily said no and did not want to buy ice as he was very tired, but instead got up automatically and bought the ice for their mum.
That is why Hari is my favourite character in the book Village by the sea.
