Answers
Answer:
(i) In the story ‘On the Face of it’, Derry is described as a dejected and disappointed young boy who has suffered a misfortune by getting his face eaten by acid. By the response which he received from people after seeing his face, he developed a complex and negative attitude towards life. He is defiant and withdrawn. He does not trust people to be his friends and begins to think that no one will ever love him except his mother.
Mr Lamb, on the other hand, doesn't let his disability to come his way. He has developed a positive attitude towards life. In spite of children teasing him and making fun of him, he keeps his door open so that anyone can come who wishes to meet him. He tells Derry that he has friends everywhere.
(ii) At the start, the Governor of the HM Prison, Oxford appears to be a considerate and kind-hearted man as he arranges for an O-level language exam for a prisoner notorious for his ability to escape from the prison. However, he is quite sceptical of Evans and makes every arrangement to make sure that Evans doesn't escape. He is also rather proud and self-conscious from his prison. The Governor has the presence of mind which is clear from the fact that he cross-examines every call that was made to the prison that day. He is intelligent enough to realize that he has been duped but could not judge the extent of the deception. He gets a little over-confident when he tells himself that Evans had no chance of escaping. At last when Evans tricks him again and makes a final escape. His overconfidence and self-praise let him down.
(iii)Bama never liked going straight to home after leaving her school. She liked to stroll around the market place instead of hurrying back home as the markets were filled with sights which she thoroughly enjoyed. She used to take thirty minutes to reach her home from school though she could be there in ten minutes. In the way, she used to see snake charmers, vegetable sellers, dancing monkeys, political processions, pedalling cyclists and so on. She used to take a keen interest in all the activities which were happening on her way home.
