What benefits did Derry reap from his association with Mr. Lamb? |
|
Answer» Derry was a fourteen-year-old boy whose face was partly burnt due to spilling of acid. As a result, he became conscious of his ugly face. He found that people either ridiculed him or pitied him. He developed a negative attitude to life. He became frustrated. But when he met Mr. Lamb, he got inspiration from him to live life as it came. Derry was encouraged by Mr. Lamb to look at the world and to take interest in things around him. He found truth, sense, and inspiration in Mr. Lamb’s words. He learnt from Mr. Lamb to handle his handicap and loneliness. In fact, it was Mr. Lamb who brought Derry back to life. Derry learnt the way to live life fully by dealing with his deformity in an appropriate manner. |
