${\tt{\red{\underline{\underline{\huge{Answer:}}}}}}$

• The children of the workhouse really couldn't be more different from the master in terms of physical appearance. The stark outward distinctions between the children and the master illustrate who's in control—and for whose benefit the workhouse is being run.

• The master is described as a “fat, healthy man,” while the children are pale and thin from not getting enough to eat. The children are quiet and timid, not like most children at all. This is because they live a miserable life in which they're expected to work all the time instead of playing and enjoying themselves. The master, on the other hand, is an overbearing figure; his very presence intimidates the boys. That's why they draw straws to pick who's going to approach the master and ask for more gruel, as everyone is too scared to put themselves forward.
