Question

Read the excerpts from The Land.

[Willie] turned to my daddy. "It's my boy Mitchell done this, Mister Edward, and I know there ain't no way t' make it up t' ya if this here horse don't heal right, but I jus' 'bout t' put a strap t' Mitchell my own self 'bout what he done. I'm gonna put a strap t' him right now, matter of fact!" With that said, he positioned his whip and turned toward Mitchell.

My daddy stopped and looked at me. "No," he said. "I'm not going to whip you, Paul. No, your punishment is that you'll never get to ride Ghost Wind again. I figure you'll remember that a whole lot longer than a whipping. You won't ride any of the other horses either, including the Appaloosa, until I say so."

Answer 2

The correct answer is that the children i.e sons and their fathers should be held accountable for their actions.

Explanation:

Since everyone in the story was at fault they should be accounted for their actions. The main characters of this story are Willie, Paul, Mitchell, Mr Edward etc.

Willie throughout the story was worried about his job. He also kept on thinking that everyone will blame him for the Ghost wind if it does not act well. However, Paul was not held accountable for Ghost wind's injuries. Mitchell's character was portrayed to be very jealous since he could not learn how to ride a horse.
