Read the following poem and answer the questions that follow
Thin and red,
Skinny and bald,
The boy groans on the ground.
Swollen stomach
Full of waste,
Thin legs
Thin arms,
Twitch
Ast the boy
Fights with flies
Over the empty plate.

Ten years old,
He looks older than ten
And younger than young,
And so small
As he wriggles
Prisoner
Of his unproportioned body.
‘Mother’, shouted the boy
‘When I grow up
I will carry a gun
And not a pen!’
‘My son,’ shouted the mother,
My son, cries the mother
‘You will never live to carry a gun
There is no meat for us.’
