HELP ASAP

In the beginning the two of us didn't get along at all. Fact to business, there was a time it seemed like to me Mitchell Thomas lived just to taunt me. There were other boys too who picked on me, but Mitchell was the worst. I recall one time in particular when I was about nine or so and I was reading beside a creek on my daddy's land, and Mitchell came up from behind me and just whopped me on the head. For no reason. Just whopped me on the head! Course I jumped up mad. "What ya do that for?" I cried.

"Felt like it," he said. That's all; he felt like it. "Ya wanna do somethin' 'bout it?"

Character vs. Society.

Step-by-step explanation:

The society that is shown in the passage is obscenely cruel, as it is shown in the word choice. The "I just wanted to do it" represents that Mitchell has no sense of why he whooped the main character, which is a sign of cruelty and hate.
