Which excerpt from The Land, Part 1 best supports the claim that Paul’s father wants Paul to solve his conflict with Mitchell without someone else’s help?
Answer
A
I was looking for complete and absolute revenge, and I figured Hammond at eighteen and George at sixteen could provide that for me.
B
Finally things got so bad, I told my daddy about Mitchell and about how he and other boys too were always picking on me.
C
I took care of it, all right. I enlisted the aid of my brothers, Hammond, George, and Robert. I figured Hammond and George could sure enough stop Mitchell.
D
"You want it stopped, Paul," he said, "then you stop it. This here is between you and Mitchell and whatever other boys. I'm not getting into it.”
