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.
