Read these stanzas from paul laurence dunbar’s poems.

"the seedling"

"the old apple tree"

little folks, be like the seedling,
always do the best you can;
every child must share life's labor
just as well as every man.

and the sun and showers will you
through the lonesome, struggling hours,
till you raise to light and beauty
virtue's fair, unfading flowers

life for us ain't all been summer,
but i guess we've had our share
of its flittin' joys an' pleasures,
an' a sprinklin' of its care.
oft the skies have smiled upon us;
then again we've seen 'em frown,
though our load was ne'er so heavy
that we longed to lay it down.
but when death does come a-callin',
this my last request shall be,—
that they'll bury me an' hallie
'neath the old apple-tree.

Read the excerpt from the land. in the late afternoon i did the same, but all the time i was on the stallion, i was aware that mitchell was watching me. he had appeared on the edge of the woods and had just stood there watching ghost wind and me as we went round and round the meadow. finally, on one of our turns past him, he said: "s'pose you thinkin' you a real somebody 'cause you can ride that stallion." i looked down at mitchell and stopped, knowing that despite our understanding, he was itching for a fight with me. now, i don't know what possessed me in that moment to say the next thing i did. maybe i was feeling guilty that because i was my daddy's son, i could ride ghost wind. maybe it was that, but it wasn't out of fear i said what i said. i no longer was afraid of mitchell. "you want to ride him? " i asked. mitchell took a step backward. it was obvious he hadn't expected me to say that. "you know i can't ride him," he said. "your white daddy'd kill me." "you want to ride him? " i asked again. mitchell looked at the stallion, then at me. "so, what if i do? " what intrinsic motivation does the author most likely intend the reader to infer from the passage? paul is motivated by his need to have mitchell praise his riding skills. mitchell is motivated by his need to have paul praise his riding skills. paul is motivated by jealousy and wishes he had free time like mitchell. mitchell is motivated by jealousy and wishes he could ride the horse.
