Full Question:

Read this excerpt from The Land.

"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?"

"Don't matter to me," said Robert without hesitation, "long as we were the same."

"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."

In this excerpt, which character does the author use the most to summarize and develop the theme that inequality is destructive?

Answer:

Robert

Explanation:

In the excerpt, The writer indirectly tried to depict the experience that Robert had his whole life as a colored person.

The phrase:

<em> "Wish folks thought of us as the same." </em>

Indicates that Robert has been treated differently his whole life based on the color of his skin alone. Regardless of any other quality that he might possess, many people fail to see him pass the color of his skin and treat him unequally.

I believe , this is the writer's way of using Robert to indicates that inequality could be destructive even though people may not enforce it directly.

Answer:A

Explanation:when men are under stressful situations they are more likely to react with anger.

As compared to women, men are less likely to talk about how they feel because sometimes they feel it will make them look weak hence in most times they will burst with anger if they are stressed up by something or if they feel both stress and fatigue .
