What do we know about Derry’s mother in the story? What does Derry think about her? |
|
Answer» Derry believes that his mother kisses him on the other side of his face and that even she cannot stand her scarred face. She advises him to keep away from Lamb whom she doesn’t trust. She is protective of Derry and always keeps an eye on him. She encourages him to mingle only with a select few like him. In fact Lamb asks Derry what kind of world would it be if all disabled people lived together. For Derry it is a tough task to disobey his mother and return to Mr. Lamb. This suggests that she is like all those stereotypical parents who are protective of their challenged children and thus through their attitude contribute to making them lonely and isolated. They would do well to teach their children to make friends and accept their disability cheerfully and be optimistic about life. Clearly Derry’s mother has failed in this regard. |
