What to Focus On

  • The play is a drama with three scenes.
  • Scene One and Scene Three are in Mr Lamb's garden.
  • Scene Two is in Derry's house.
  • Derry is fourteen years old.
  • Derry's injury is an acid burn, not a fire burn.
  • Mr Lamb has a tin leg from a war bomb blast.
  • Derry is isolated because of his appearance and others' reactions.
  • He speaks defensively because he has been hurt repeatedly.
  • He longs for something personal and meaningful.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Derry is rude and rebellious only because he is a bad-tempered boy.

Mr Lamb is only a harmless old man with a tin leg, so he has no real importance in the play.

Derry was burned in a fire, so his injury is the same kind as Mr Lamb’s disability.

Memory Tips
