Answers
Derry’s face was destroyed due to acid, so he had a negative look towards the life.
He was disappointed with the scary looks of the people. He did not trust anyone except his mother.
On the other hand Mr. Lamb had a positive attitude.
Although he had a tin leg and children used to tease him but he accepted his life as it was.
Derry was influenced by Lamb’s attitude towards life.
Mr. Lamb and Derry had totally different attitude from each other. Mr. Lamb was an experienced middle aged man with wisdom collected from his past life. He had seen many ups and downs in life and developed an insight as well as optimistic outlook on life. He loved life, people, and did not mind what people thought about him. He kept the gates of his house open so that anyone could come in.
Derry was a very young boy in his early teens. He did not have much experience. His face had been disfigured in a mishap in which acid had fallen on one side of his face. It had disfigured his face for the life time. People who saw him, reacted to it shockingly. He had started disliking people; even his parents often made him feel low about his scar. He had alienated himself from people. He preferred being alone and distant from people. He did not like people as they always talked discouragingly.
