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?

Paul considers himself an expert huntsman and enjoys practicing his skills.
Paul struggles to endure Hammond and George’s mocking behavior.
Paul gets frustrated with Robert’s innocence and immaturity.
Paul seeks to overcome his outsider status in the family structure.

Answer:

paul seeks to overcome his outsider status in the family structure

Step-by-step explanation:

I'm not 100% sure but i think it might be that one because he mentions that he is often with the rest of the family but when hes alone hes glad to have his dad all to himself which i think implies he feels shut out when his brother are there
