Answer:
B. Character vs. self.
Explanation:
In the story "The Land" part 2 by Mildred D. Taylor, we see the character of Paul riding Ghost Wind. Paul is a mixed race of a white father and a black mother, but whose father made sure that he enjoys the same rights as that of his white brothers. Set in the post slavery era, the story revolves around the lives of Paul and his best friend Mitchell, who is the son of a worker at Paul's father's farm.
The given excerpt is from when Paul decided to let Mitchell ride his horse Ghost Wind, even though he was not supposed to ride it, considering he was the son of a worker. The decision of Paul in allowing his best friend to ride the horse is against their very upbringing, for workers have inferior rights. Mitchell, being the son of a worker, is supposed to be lower than Paul, his master's son. But foregoing all these, Paul decides to let him enjoy. The particular excerpt is a conflict of interest between Paul's character and his own self. He even states that he "<em>don't know what possessed me in that moment to say the next thing I did"</em>. This shows the conflict he has within himself.
Answer:
Not reasonable because it ignores valid objections that could be raised.
Explanation:
As the author says "There is nothing magic about the number of years in a person's age", it is true there is nothing magic but this is not reasonable because there are two crucial points related to age and driving:
i- development and healthy;
ii- criminal liability and civil responsibility.
Both teenagers and older people have specific age related conditions. Many scientific studies suggest that teenagers don’t have their brain and psychological characteristics fully developed, because they haven’t fully developed their cognition and sense of responsibility they may choose to take more risks when driving such as using cellphone or drinking and driving. On the other side the elderly tends to loose physical strength, having issues with vision, audition or mental abilities, or responding slowly to events and be impaired to operate a vehicle.
So many states will define a minimum age for driving based in the age of criminal liability and civil responsibility stated in the constitution or in laws. It is not just about parents trust and sense of responsibility but also about laws and substantial knowledge about human development.
Billy's father says they can't stay with grandpa and grandma cook because he and Billy's mother are getting a divorce.
Because of the fact that Billy's parents are separating, he can no longer stay with his grandparents, but rather go to a court where the judge will decide where the child will live from now on - whether that is going to be with his mom or his dad.
