Extrinsic motivation is
Read the excerpt from The Land. Willie Thomas hauled off and slapped Mitchell across the face with the back of his hand. "Don't ya get smart wit' me!" Mitchell turned his head at the impact, but he didn't fall back. It was as if he had already braced himself for the attack. "You done had somethin' t' do wit' this here stallion bein' cut up, I knows it!" Willie raved on. "You had somethin' t' do wit' it, I gets the blame, and I lose my good job! Tell me what ya done!"
Read the excerpt from The Land. I felt proud that my daddy trusted me to take charge of the stallion on my own, and I did exactly as my daddy said.
How does Paul influence Mitchell’s viewpoint at the end of The Land?
Read the excerpt from The Land.The way Ghost Wind had pulled back, I feared a ligament might be torn or even his leg fractured."He all right?" asked Mitchell, on his feet now.Without looking at him, I shook my head. "Don't know. We got to get him back to the barn.""Your daddy's gonna kill me," he said solemnly, yet with no fear in his voice, just a voice of matter of fact. "Course now, my daddy get t' me first, he'll do it. Don't blame him this time if he do, though, 'cause he's gonna lose his job sure once your daddy see that horse."
Read the excerpts from The Land. [Willie] turned to my daddy. "It's my boy Mitchell done this, Mister Edward, and I know there ain't no way t' make it up t' ya if this here horse don't heal right, but I jus' 'bout t' put a strap t' Mitchell my own self 'bout what he done. I'm gonna put a strap t' him right now, matter of fact!" With that said, he positioned his whip and turned toward Mitchell. *** My daddy stopped and looked at me. "No," he said. "I'm not going to whip you, Paul. No, your punishment is that you'll never get to ride Ghost Wind again. I figure you'll remember that a whole lot longer than a whipping. You won't ride any of the other horses either, including the Appaloosa, until I say so."
Read the excerpt from The Land. "You?" questioned my daddy. "Paul, you did this?" "Yes, sir," I said, looking straight at him. "I did." My daddy took a breath deep, then walked around Ghost Wind, inspecting him long and hard this time, before he came back and stood right in front of me. "Paul," he said to me, "you’re a good horseman, one of the best I’ve ever seen, and you know how to handle Ghost Wind. Now you going to stand here and tell me you rode this horse and let this happen to him?"
