Characktersketch of derry

Derry is a fourteen-year-old boy who is disfigured and ugly because half of his face is burnt due to the spilling of acid on it. He is conscious of the fact that his ugliness is revolting to others and so, everybody wants to ignore him or pity him. He suffers from inferiority complex. He becomes too arrogant and usually avoids any social interaction. He heard people using nasty comments about him and so bears a grudge towards the entire society. His ugly looks have made him a pessimist and a loner with various negative complexes. Derry is always frustrated, angry, and withdrawn. Moreover, he always has low confidence and dwells in self-pity apart from always being suspicious about others’ intentions towards him. Derry is a bit narrow-minded. He does not think for himself but relies on others feedback only. He is full of bitterness about his handicap. He is of negative nature but soon learns to change himself with Mr Lamb's guidance.

 He suspects everyone and lacks trust. Derry starts listening to Mr Lamb because Mr Lamb is also handicapped. It is only when Mr Lamb bestowed upon him, his love, trust and generosity that his mindset starts changing. Due to the wise words of Mr Lamb, Deny transforms completely.
