Sympathetic.

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

The author uses a lot of punctuation to shorten the sentences and to pass the idea of espasmodic thinking.

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