Which part of Village By The Sea do you like the best?

If you ask me which part of this novel I like the most, I would say the Coconut day.

This is the day where I can sense happiness for the family as I can sense new hopes ,dreams and changes for the better.

Hari - 1)He had got himself a stable job and thus earned a stable income, earning quite a lot for the family which makes us feel relieved that the family financial situation would be better.
2)He also expressed his wish to Mr Panwallah to go back home and also make us feel happy about the family re-uniting again.
3)It also tells us Hari had grown up from his experience as a worker and also had become a real city boy. He had also "learnt to push and fight his way"(Page 217). This made the reader feel happy for Hari as he had grown to be a more mature person.

Lila- 1)Although she is alone without his brother, she still copes very well and also had a stable financial situation from working for a birdwatcher. This lead to the reader not having to worry about the family without Hari.

Mother-1)She is recovering from her illness with medical care in the hospital. She is taken care by her husband. This makes the author feel happy as Mother is able to take up the role as a mum, thus, shifting back the roles of the parents which were taken by Hari and Lila before.

Father-1)He has turn over a new leaf and had changed from a drunkard to one that loves his wife. He also had taken up the responsiblity of a father by looking care of his wife. This gives us a hint that father would make ends meet for the family after his mother had fully recovered.

You may ask me why I did not choose the ending as my favourite part. I feel that from this coconut day, it already give me hints of a possible fairy-tale ending , thus the conclusion does not happen in a surprise, but act as a follow-up in my opinion.
