Question

Read the following passage: My eyes scanned the plains where I had hunted bison, the creek where I had gotten water. They could no more take this land from me than I could give it freely. It was never mine to give, and I had never thought that I owned it. I used it in accordance with what the gods had given me. And now I was being forced to leave.

Which detail gives this passage a reflective tone? A. The narrators mention of land ownership B. The mention of the narrators gods C. The narrators thoughts on hunting bison D. The fact that the narrator must leave the land

Answer 1

D) The fact that the narrator must leave the land

Answer 2

A. The narrators mention of land ownership.

Step-by-step explanation:

In this passage, the author's main reflection focuses on the idea of land ownership. The author shares with us his ideas on the subject of ownership, and whether someone can "own" land. He believes this to be impossible. The author thinks that the land was used by him, but was never truly his, and that he could not give it up for the same reason. His connection with the land was the fact that the gods had let him use it, but this was different from ownership.
