In the Ruins by Roald Dahl

Somewhere among the bricks and stones, I came across a man sitting on the ground in his underpants, sawing off his left leg. There was a black bag beside him, and the bag was open, and I could see a hypodermic needle lying there among all the rest of the stuff.

“Do you want some?” he asked, looking up.

“Yes, please,” I said. I was going crazy with hunger.

“I don’t mind giving you a bit so long as you will promise to produce the next meal. I am quite uncontaminated.”

“All right,” I said. “Yes.”

“Caudal injection,” he said. “Base of the spine. You don’t feel a thing.”

I found a few bits of wood, and I made a fire in the ruins, and started roasting a piece of the meat. The doctor sat on the ground doing things to the stump of his leg.

A child came up, a girl of about four years old. She had probably seen the smoke from the fire or smelled the smell of cooking, I don’t know which. She was very unsteady on her feet.

“Do you want some, too?” the doctor asked.

She nodded.

“You’ll have to pay it back later,” the doctor said.

The child stood there looking at the piece of meat that I was holding over the fire on the end of a bent curtain rod.

“You know something,” the doctor said, “with all three of us here, we ought to be able to survive for quite a long time.”

“I want my mummy,” the child said, starting to cry.

“Sit down,” the doctor told her. “I’ll take care of you.”

Hurry i am on the semester test which theme is evident in this excerpt from robert frost's "mending wall"? but at spring mending-time we find them there. i let my neighbor know beyond the hill; and on a day we meet to walk the line and set the wall between us once again. we keep the wall between us as we go. to each the boulders that have fallen to each. and some are loaves and some so nearly balls we have to use a spell to make them balance: "stay where you are until our backs are turned! " we wear our fingers rough with handling them. oh, just another kind of out-door game, one on a side. it comes to little more: there where it is we do not need the wall: he is all pine and i am apple orchard. my apple trees will never get across and eat the cones under his pines, i tell him. he only says, “good fences make good neighbors." spring is the mischief in me, and i wonder if i could put a notion in his head: "why do they make good neighbors? isn't it where there are cows? but here there are no cows. before i built a wall i'd ask to know what i was walling in or walling out, and to whom i was like to give offence. . " a. the human desire for material gain b. the influence of financial constraints c. the positive effects of friendship d. the uncertain nature of human relations e. the futility of human yearning
