The Village By The Sea

This blog entry would be for English Ace Assessment would be expressing my based on the short story "The Village by The Sea" by Anita Desai. I would be blogging on my thinking about Hari, the village boy who decided to go to Bombay, a bustling city to work and earn money for his family. I feel sorry for Hari as his father is always drunk with toddy and his mother is too sick to work leaving the children, Hari, his elder and two younger sisters to fend for their own, with a small piece of land which they grew vegetables on. Personally, i feel that Hari is very filial and cares a lot for his sisters. He is also very keen on learning new knowledge, like learning how to mend watches from an elderly man. He is also very intelligent and has long-term vision. I know that he has long-term vision from what he had said at the last part of the story. He wanted to open a chicken farm so that he can generate income for the family. In conclusion, i think that this is a very good book. Thank you for taking time out of your busy schedule to read my blog entry. Please feel free to comment on this entry.
