How does Mr. Lamb’s brief association with Derry affect the latter? OR How did Mr. Lamb’s meeting with Derry become a turning point in his life? |
|
Answer» Derry was a fourteen-year-old boy who had his one side of face burnt due to the spilling of acid. He was dejected. People pitied him. He was pained due to the horror, disgust, and the pity show for him by the alienated people. As a result, he had become bitter. He had withdrawn himself from people and had developed a pessimistic attitude to life. When he met Mr. Lamb and spent some time in his company, his entire perspective changed. Mr. Lamb was a person, full of life. He told Derry to embrace life fully and not to be bothered about what people said about him. He advised him to keep his ears shut to what was unpleasant to hear but not to shut himself in. He inspired Derry by keeping himself busy in spite of his tin-leg and by being open and cheerful. Mr. Lamb’s advice proved to be a great motivation for Derry, and he came out from his shell of isolation. Thus, it proved to be a turning point in his life. |
