The correct answers are:

Subject: A young boy does his homework but gets it wrong.

Theme: Physical punishment is not only painful but also humiliating.

In this passage, Kevin Sweeny, presents his homework to his school teacher, who is a priest. However, the homework is not correct, and apparently has been done by his father instead of the kid himself. Therefore, the teacher decides to punish Kevin.

This punishment proves to be not only physically painful to Kevin but also incredibly humiliating. As the priest whips the fingers of both of Kevin's hands, he laughed at his father for being a barman and said that if he continued down this path he would encounter the same fate.
