Question

In "Kaddo's Wall," what does the wall symbolize to Kaddo? a. wealth b. honesty c. rage d. charity

Answer 1

Answer: In "Kaddo's Wall", the wall symbolizes (A.) wealth to Kaddo.

Explanation: "Kaddo's Wall" tells the story of Kaddo, the leader of the town of Tendella. As Kaddo is the person that harvests the largest number of corn, he decides to build a wall in order for the less fortunate not to touch and eat his corn. In that way, Kaddo's wall represents wealth and power because it encloses his rich fields and it works to separate them from the ones of the less fortunate.

Answer 2

a. Wealth

In “Kaddo’s Wall,” the main character, Kaddo, had a surplus of corn that was so great he did not know what really to do with it. The one thing he knew for certain, however, is that he did not want to share his corn with those less fortunate. Instead he has the corn made into flour and the flour made into bricks with which he builds a wall around his house. The idea that Kaddo had so much corn that he could use a life-sustaining substance to build a wall is quite opulent. Thus, because it is with (and out of) his wealth that the wall is made, the wall symbolizes wealth.
