Question

it at my face up it ate me uo who said these words

Answer 1

This sentence takes its reference from the story On the Face of It by Susan Hill. The “my” in the sentence refers to Derry a pessimistic teenager who withdraws himself from the society after he suffered from an acid attack on one side of his face. The “It” here refers to the acid that disfigured his face.

Derry makes this statement to Mr Lamb, a person whom he met accidentally. The latter was an old person who was lame in one leg.

Answer 2

Derry, the boy who had scarred face in the story ‘On The Face Of It’, by Susan Hill, said these words to Mr. Lamb. Here the former is explaining to the latter that the scar not only did physical damage, but psychological damage also. Owing to the scar on his face, people around him often humiliated him. He had developed a kind of inferiority complex. As a result he preferred seclusion and aloofness.
