“Yes, to starve. They feed you in Hell, but when you escape from it you starve. They were hunting me everywhere and I had no passport, no name. So I stole again. I stole these rags. I stole my food daily.

Read the extracts given below and answer the questions that follow:

“Yes, to starve. They feed you in Hell, but when you escape from it you starve. They were hunting me everywhere and I had no passport, no name. So I stole again. I stole these rags. I stole my food daily. I slept in the woods, in bams, anywhere. I dare not ask for work, I dare not go into a town to beg, so I stole, and they have made me what I am, they have made me a thief. God curse them all.”

(a) What is the difference of being ‘in the Hell’ and out of it?

(a) When you are inside the prison, the police at least give you some food to eat. But when you are outside it, you starve.

(b) The Convict had no money. He needed food and rags. He was without any work. Hence, he had to steal for buying food and clothes.

(c) The Convict curses them all as they made him a thief and a beast from a man.
