Answer:

character sketch on harris

The character Harris in Three Men in A Boat is an extremely vain person who often shows that he works very hard. According to the narrator, he is adept at undertaking a job and then putting it on others’ backs. When he undertakes a job, he creates a commotion much like the narrator’s uncle Podger.  Harris is very outspoken and does not mind offending his friends with his frankness. In the novel, he tells George that his new blazer could be hung over a flower-bed to frighten the birds away in early spring. In the bargain, he upset George. Harris also deludes himself by thinking he has a good voice. But in reality, the author states that all of Harris’ friends think that he does not. In the novel, he forgets the words of the song and blames the musicians for his failure. He also has a fascination for tombs and this annoys J. He also has a foul temper and his friends prefer to let him have his rant rather than talk to him when he is angry. Harris is extremely fond of alcohol and can accompany his friends for a drink at any time of the day. According to the narrator, he always knows a place round the corner where one can get a brilliant drink. He is unmarried and always lives for the moment. 

OR

Harris is a friend of George and J., who joins them on the trip. Although the novel's flashbacks suggest that J. and Harris (full name William Samuel Harris) have known each other for a long time, J. actually dislikes Harris a great deal. He constantly criticizes Harris for being lazy and uncultured, and writes that "there is no poetry about Harris – no wild yearning for the unattainable" (18).
