Answer:
Paul feels an emotional connection to Ghost Wind, while his father mostly values Ghost Wind as a possession.
Step-by-step explanation:
The Land is a book published in 2001, written by Mildred D. Taylor that tells the life story of Paul-Edward Logan through his perspective.
In the above excerpt, the most appropriate answer is that Paul feels an emotional connection with Ghost Wind, while his father mainly values Ghost Wind as a possession.
The answer can be seen in the excerpts that the father says to Paul: "I expect you to take mighty good care of this horse. I'm depending on Ghost Wind to win me more than a few races by the coming year, and I want him in the best condition possible."
In the other section it is possible to see Paul's sadness for not being able to ride the horse anymore since his father ordered him to be taken care of with the main intention of winning racing competitions.
