3 [Turn over Section B Text 3 The text below is a story of Kim Phuc Phan Thi who is commonly known as the ‘Napalm Girl’. S he was captured in a photograph fleeing from a Napalm attack, and this has become a defining image of the Vietnam War . She is now an activist for peace who wants her legacy to be about hope and survival. Read the text carefully and answer Questions 5-15 in the Question Booklet. 1 You’ve probably seen the photograph of me taken that day, running away from the explosions with the others — a naked child with outstretched arms, screaming in pain. Taken by the South Vietnamese photographer Nick Ut, who was working for The Associated Press, it ran on the front pages of newspapers all over the world and won a Pulitzer Prize. In time, it became one of the most famous images from the Vietnam War. 5 2 Nick changed my life forever with that remarkable photograph. But he also saved my li fe. After he took the photo, he put his camera down, wrapped me in a blanket and whisked me off to get medical attention. I am forever thankful. Yet I also remember hating him at times. I grew up detesting that photo. I thought to myself, “I am a little g irl. I am naked. Why did he take that picture? Why didn’t my parents protect me? Why did he print that photo? Why was I the only kid naked while my brothers and cousins in the photo had their clothes on?” I felt ugly and ashamed. 10 3 Growing up, I sometimes wished to disappear not only because of my injuries — the burns scarred a third of my body and caused intense, chronic pain — but also because of the shame and embarrassment of my disfigurement. I tried to hide my scars under my clothes. I had horrific anxiety and depression. Children in school recoiled from me. I was a figure of pity to neighbours and, to some extent, my parents. As I got older, I feared that no one would ever love me. 15
