Which is a minor theme in “the land”
azamat

Answer:

Education can counter inequality.

Explanation:

Mildred D. Taylor's "The Land" revolves around the life of Edward Paul-Logan, a mixed child of a white father and a black woman. Narrated from the perspective of Paul, the plot continues to follow Paul through his childhood as a mix-raced child, and his relationship with everyone, including Mitchell, the son of his father's worker.

While the whole of the story's main theme rests on the issue of inequality, especially between the whites and the blacks, it also deals a lot with friendship, loyalty, and family. And <u>one minor theme that can also be found in the novel is that of education as a means to counter inequality</u>. This is evident in both Paul and his friend Mitchell, who made promises to teach each other what they know- Paul will teach Mitchell how to read and write while Mitchell will, in turn, teach Paul how to fight and fend for himself. This way, both characters exhibit the theme of education as a means to counter inequality among themselves.

Why?

Because the question mark is placed inside the quotation marks after the end of the question. Thus, the answer is B.</span>
