Read this excerpt from The Land
In this excerpt, which character does the author use the
most to summarize and develop the theme that inequality
is destructive?
"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?"
George
Hammond
O Paul
"Don't matter to me," said Robert without hesitation, "long
as we were the same."
Robert
"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."
