This is supposed to be in the English section, but I will try to help. 

In the first sentence, the protagonist is in a crowded lunchroom which implies that there is, or should be, plenty of food for everyone, while in the second sentence, the protagonist is in a life boat that has been drifting at sea, which makes you think there isn't enough food for everyone. The changes in the settings makes the protagonist seem much more life threatening in a boat that has been drifting at sea than when he stole the apple in the crowded lunchroom.

I hope this helps!
