Ead this excerpt from The Land.

"I hate folks thinking of me as white and you colored," he went on. "Wish folks thought of us as the same."

"Which the same?" I questioned. "White or colored?"

"Don't matter to me," said Robert without hesitation, "long as we were the same."

"I figure it'd matter you had to live colored awhile."

Robert was silent to that, then reluctantly agreed. "Maybe so . . . but I'll tell you something, Paul. You don't feel no different to me than Hammond or George. I hate folks saying that word 'half' brother. How can you be 'half' of a brother? Either you're brothers or you're not."

"Well," I decided, "that's just the way things are."

In this excerpt, which character does the author use the most to summarize and develop the theme that inequality is destructive?

a George
bHammond
cPaul
dRobert

The correct answer is D: Robert.

Explanation:

In this excerpt, the author uses Robert to explain how inequality between people can be bad and destructive. Robert hates persons who divide people on white and colored. He thinks all people should be equal, regardless of the color of their skin. He supports his opinion by explaining the use of the word half brother. Robert says you can't be half of a brother, because either you are brothers or you're not. This also refers to inequality. You cannot be 'half' of a human being. Either you are a human being or you're not.

Paul is the main character of the novel The Land, written by Mildred D. Taylor, published in 2001.  He is struggling with his racial identity, as he realizes that people are treating him differently because of his skin color. The best example is his father, who treats him differently from his brothers, because of the color of his skin.
