Question

Read the excerpt from The Land.
I looked down at Mitchell and stopped, knowing that
despite our understanding, he was itching for a fight with
me. Now, I don't know
what possessed me in that
moment to say the next thing I did. Maybe I was feeling
guilty that because I was my daddy's son, I could ride
Ghost Wind. Maybe it was that, but it wasn't out of fear!
said what I said. I no longer was afraid of Mitchell. "You
want to ride him?" I asked.
How do Paul's and Mitchell's reactions in this excerpt
compare?
O Both boys are surprised that Paul gives Ghost Wind
to Mitchell
O Both boys are worried that Paul's father will catch
them.
O Neither boy is ready to get into a fight over who rides
Ghost Wind.
ONeither boy is ready to admit how much he wants to
ride Ghost Wind.
Mitchell took a step backward. It was obvious he hadn't
expected me to say that. "You know I can't ride him," he
said. "Your white daddy'd kill me."
