Answer:
He is considered to be an outsider.
Explanation:
Leslie Silko's short story "The Man to Send Rain Clouds" is about an old man's death and how his children were stuck between following their traditional burial practices and also being involved with the new Christian religion. The story deals with religion, tradition, creativity, community, etc.
In the given excerpt from the story, Leon's behavior/ reaction to Father Paul's inquiry about their old father Teofilo shows their refusal to let the Christian priest know anything. The truth was, they had found Teofilo dead and had taken his body in the truck, but Leon's insistence that <em>"Everything is O.K." </em>shows their reluctance to inform the Father about anything.
Thus, the correct answer is that Father Paul is considered to be an outsider, especially by the very traditional Leon and his beliefs.
Answer: (C) Sullivan believes Sarah will raise their children alone after his death.
Explanation:
Sullivan Ballou was a Union Major from Rhode Island who answered the call to go fight to keep the United States together after the secession of the Confederate states.
He wrote a letter to his wife in case he didn't make it back to her and in it he spoke of how his sons would either remember very little of him or nothing at all. He however trusted his wife to be able to raise the children and develop their characters into something good.
In both stories the protagonists reach a point of self discovery that makes them value their upbringing. In Dade’s case, he realizes at the end of the story that he is alone in the world. “I feel alone in the world, in the way that makes me aware of sound and temperature.” Dade decides he will make his own way in life, to do what he wantsto do, rather than what his parents want him to do. Even though he is going to try and make his own way in life, healso realizes that he needs his parents. Julian, like Dade, realizes at the end of the story that he is alone in the world as well. “Wait here, wait here!” he cried and jumped up and began to run for help toward a cluster of lights he saw in the distance ahead of him. “Help, help!” he shouted, but his voice was thin, scarcely a thread if sound.
His dying words supposedly expressed his recognition, that with his death, Christianity would become the empire's state religion. Julian was a pagan and for him to admit that when he died Christianity would flourish, was something that perhaps he knew all along and he was telling his mother to accept change and live with certain realities.
