The characters of the lesson “On the Face of It” are Derry and Mr Lamb. Derry is a 14 years old boy with a burnt face, looks ugly, pessimistic, loner, suffered from severe ‘negative complexes’ anger and frustration, withdrawn and introvert, low confidence level and indulged in self-pity.
Mr Lamb on the other hand was am lonely old man with tin leg, craved for company and jovial optimistic, lover of nature, outgoing tolerant, social, helpful, sensitive, independent, didn’t mind children calling him names. What unites both Mr Lamb and Derry together is the common feeling of being the subject of everyone's mockery and loneliness. The reason behind this being their deformed body parts.
