Read this excerpt from The Land. When I was a little boy, being sent off to the kitchen to eat or outside to play didn’t bother

me, because Robert was always sent off with me. But then as we grew older, Robert was allowed to stay when the visitors came for their socializing, though at first he wouldn’t stay without me. Even his grandmother couldn’t make him stay. Robert’s grandma on his mama’s side always hated the fact that my daddy allowed Cassie and me to sit at his table and enjoy the life she felt was owed only to her daughter’s children. When the daughter died, her mother was there in my daddy’s house. Of course, I was only a baby at the time, but later I grew to know her hatred. She had stayed on in my daddy’s house and took over running it. I remember she was always hard on my mama, and on Cassie and me. When my daddy was away during mealtime, she would send Cassie and me from the table. When that happened, Robert always went with me, and she couldn’t make him come back.
The minor theme in this excerpt is that racism is

avoidable.

handed down.

inevitable.

Answer:

Avoidable

Explanation:

This excerpt demonstrates the idea that racism is avoidable. In this passage, we learn that the narrator was discriminated against because of the color of his skin. However, we also learn that this was the case among adults, such as the grandma, but did not happen among children, as his friend Robert (presumably white) was kind and understanding. Although Robert could have learned to be like his grandma, he has instead become a kind and accepting person who dislikes racist ideas. This shows that racism is avoidable, regardless of your personal background.

Describe the border the main character or narrator crosses. Write a short explanation of how this character changes as a result
Tatiana [17]

Answer and Explanation:

This question is about "Borders" by Thomas King and is a short story that can be classified as a drama. That's because, when the protagonists of the story, a boy and his mother, try to cross the border between Canada and the USA are prevented. they are prevented because they call themselves "Blackfoot," a people native to North America, however, the "Blackfoot" are not considered citizens for border officers and therefore do not allow the boy and his mother to cross.

This means that the boy and his mother have to cross two borders, the first is the physical border established between the two countries, the second is a barrier of intolerance, created by those who ignore the existence and rights of Native Americans.
