Question

Give the character sketch of Harris in 100-120 words.

Answer 1

Harris (also known as William Harris) is one of the three men in the boat. Readers receive commentary about Harris from J., who thinks that William Harris is completely dull and without any poetry or beauty to speak of in his person. J. compares William Harris to "Uncle Podger," who was known for carrying out elaborate procedures for simple projects. Although William Harris is a lot like George (in that they both schedule their activities around their next meal), Harris has much more pride in his musical ability, at least when it comes to comedy. Unfortunately, William Harris' memory does not serve him well in that he can never remember all of the words to his comic songs. William Harris' pride, then, doesn't match his ability. William Harris is known to J. mostly for the night of drunkenness (and rant about swans) when both George and J. go into the town alone. In fact, William Harris is always falling due to drunkenness (whether it be onto the grass, into the hamper, or into a bunch of swans). Of course, at the end of the story all three of the characters (including Harris) abandon the boat and board the train to London

Answer 2

Harris like george and Jerome too says that he has fits of giddiness. This is due to overstraining. So he loves to go on a boating journey . Like Jerome and George harris tries to do things sincerely and with dedication . But it is not so as it is seen in packing . He usually takes charge of crowd in maze but confuses all due to his lack of seriousness . He loves visiting tombs and graves . He is fond of reading inscriptions and epitaphs. He is a poor singer of comic songs . How he makes an add of himself in singing the comic song proves this fact . He is a light hearted person also and is non serious even in serious conditions . He is a bad cook also as is seen in his dish of scrambled eggs .
