Answer: Sympathetic.
Explanation: The character is desperately hungry, <u>so the author uses sympathetic language to express how weak the character is</u>. Because of hunger, the weakness must be the preponderant element expressed, what is done by means of the syntax language and the speech itself: "<u>I'll work for a little piece of meat</u>."

This is a great example of mixing grammatic with the situation the character lives.
