Potato People - character that you like most

Question:

Based on the novel "Potato People" describe the personality and behaviour of one main character in the story that you like most.

Answer:
I like Marie, the Gypsie girl, in the "Potato People". I admire her courage and independence. She was able to take care of herself even though the situation in Ireland was full of danger and bleakness.

For example, she had courage and wit to sneak into a mansion to steal food for survival. Apart from that, I especially like her cheerful and did not dwell on her predicament. Even Patrick fell for her optimistic outlook of the world. In the story, we read how Patrick was fascinated with Marie's laughter as he had not heard anybody laughing for a long time. Thus, Marie brings a sense of cheerfulness and liveliness to the novel.
