Question

Why does Derry say that acid has eaten him up?

Solution

Derry tells Mr. Lamb that acid has not only burnt his face, it has burnt his innerself also. No body likes him anymore. Everyone around him is afraid of his ugly and burnt face. Nobody wants him close. People talk mercilessly about him. They call him as ugly as a devil. All this has hurt his soul. It has spoilt his life. He has become a defiant and withdrawn young boy. He no more likes to be part of the society. Neither society is ready to make him a part of it.
