"why is one green growing plant called a weeed and another a flower? Where is the difference...Same as you and me."
Analyse how this world view of Mr.Lamb had a profound impact on Derry in the play"on the face of it"

Dear student,

Mr. Lamb told Derry that it is all about individual perception and their belief about what is beautiful and what is ugly. A weed and any other flowering plant are equal and each has its own importance or beauty but it depends on the admirer that which out of the two appeals to his/her senses in particular. Stereotypical notions state that a weed is ugly whereas a flowering plant like rose is always beautiful. Mr. Lamb's words had a profound impact on Derry and he realised that he wasn't ugly, he was just different from the other boys.

Regards
