You notice that it seems that he is uneducated and suggests that he is pleased with what little he has. You perceive that he is willing to do anything to keep the child with him, and do what he has to do supply them both with what they need to survive. The child, whom the Tramp named John, acted; as he was very dependent on the Tramp in order to survive. You get the perception that he is sweet and innocent in all this because he is just a child. His facial expressions tell you that he does things to make the Tramp happy because he is taking care of him and providing for him. One example of this is when the Tramp and the child are in their home, the Tramp is still asleep and the child is making him pancakes. You can see that the Tramp is happy by his facial expressions and body language. The child looks up to him and does not really perceive the Tramp as a father figure but more of a motherly figure. .
