Question

Read the excerpt from The Land. "Robert's white and you're a boy of color. I can't educate you in the same school – you know that. I can't educate you in the same way either. I need to look out for what I think is best for each of you. Later, when you become of age and maybe want to do something different, that's up to you. Right now, though, we'll do things my way. Come the fall, Robert will go to Savannah to school, and you'll go to Macon to study. That's just the way it's got to be. I figure that's what's best for both of you."
How does this excerpt develop the theme that inequality is destructive?
by comparing Robert’s future to Paul’s
by summarizing Mister Edward’s feelings
by developing Robert’s character
by providing details of the historical setting

Answer 1

Answer: by comparing Robert’s future to Paul’s

Explanation: Because they are different colors in this time period. His dad are going to send them to different schools, which will result both of them a different future. His dad also talks about how things will be, Robert will go to Savannah to school, and Micheal will go to Macon to study. So his dad is comparing their futures because they’re are going to different schools. It’s 100% correct, I just took the quiz.
