Question

Read this excerpt from The Land. My daddy often took me hunting. Sometimes we all went, my daddy and my brothers and me, though Hammond and George often went hunting on their own. There were times too when my daddy took just Robert and me. But the times that were most special were when it was only my daddy and me on a hunt. At those times I had my daddy all to myself, and I cherished that. I learned many things from my daddy, and when I was a small boy, there seemed no one like him to me. I'm not ashamed to admit it. In those early days I adored my daddy. Based on the historical setting, why does Paul value time alone with his father?

Answer 2

Paul seeks to overcome his outsider status in the family structure.

Step-by-step explanation:

In the above excerpt from "The Land", Paul values time alone with his father because he never actually get the chance to be alone with his father most of the time.

As we know Paul who was born to a black mother and white father couldn't really fit in well within the family structure, he could only seek to overcome his outsider status when he was alone with his father.

It made him feel cherished and loved when his other white brothers were not around. He felt like he was the only son to his father.
