Constructive feedback reinforces positive behavior and offers a critique in a direct but respectful way. If given in a negative or rude way, criticism might not only hurt the feelings of the receiver but also reinforce negative behavior. Blending praise and suggestions make the feedback polite and efficient.
In the excerpt, the two parts that contain constructive feedback are:
<em>'My favorite part of the essay was when you described your grandmother's reaction after finding the frog in her purse because it was so funny and so vivid.'</em>
<em>'I would suggest working on word choice, since you used the same words many times in the essay. Use a thesaurus to find synonyms if you need to.'</em>
The first section reinforces positive behavior by offering a compliment while the second one offers a suggestion for improvement.
The other sections criticize his friend's paper in a negative way, making harsh comments without offering any suggestions or solutions to the flaws found.

Explanation:
In ''The Man to Send Rain Clouds'', we follow a real life events of people of Laguna Pueblo Native Americans in New Mexico Indian Reservation. Ken and Leon's grandpa Teofilo died in peace under a cottonwood tree while herding sheep. They want to bury him in Laguna Tribe's tradition which includes speacial way of clothing, burying before the sun sets and so on. Louise, Leon`s wife, suggests that Father Paul should sprinkle the holy water as a part of burial in order to provide water for Teofilo in afterlife if he gets thirsty. At first Leon doesn't accept this, as holy water represents part of Christian tradition, but then it occurs to him that would encourage Teofilo to send them rainy clouds which would end the dry period and help with the agriculture. So he pays a visit to Father Paul and asks him to attend burial and sprinkle the holy water. Father Paul rejects the invitation at first, but after a little consideration of all the factors such as respecting the tradition of Laguna Tribe and their will to keep it, also his wish to be well accepted from the people of the tribe, as he is aware that if he wants to spread Christianity in a decent way in which people would change their beliefs and religion because they really want to and not because someone force them to do it, he decides to go and play his part at Teofilo's burial.
