Which excerpt from The Land, Part 4 is an example of direct characterization of Paul’s father? My daddy always liked to have his horses near. Beyond the pasturelands where the horses and cattle grazed were the forests.
I remember my daddy got real quiet. If I just hadn't added that last bit, maybe he would have taken the time to talk more to me.
My daddy decided to take Robert simply because Robert was his son. Everybody knew he would be of no real help with the horses...
I'll never forget the look on my daddy right then. There was temper in him and he could have given me a good walloping right there..
