Answer:

The reverend learns that Turner went to the island with Lizzie Griffin, an African American girl.

Explanation:

Turner falls in love with Lizzie, a black girl. Turner grew up in a racist community and always heard that blacks were dirty, inferior and unworthy, but Lizzie seemed totally different from that, which deeply caught his attention. Lizzie invited Turner to Malaga Island, to meet her family. He goes and is delighted not only with the environment, but with the people as well, who treat him very well making him spend a very comfortable day.

However when Turner returns home he has an unpleasant surprise, he discovers that the inhabitants of the city of Phippsburg are determined to expel all blacks from the island to build a resort that will bring profits to the city. Turner does not approve and is forced to admit that he spent the day with a black girl, when he admits, he receives another disappointment, as Reverend Buckminister is forced to side with the people of Phippsburg.

Explain in your own words the purpose of Puritan ministers preaching sermons called 'jeremiads' that vehemently
MrRissso [65]

<u>Answer:</u>

Puritans were protestors in 16th and 17th century who scared people with their sermons.

<u>Explanation:</u>

“Sermon” is a religious talk given in church.  Puritans wanted to purify the ''Church of England'' from the ''Roman catholic practices''. They observed that there is a decrease in the number of religious devotees of ''second-generation'' settlers. To increase this, they 'preached' a type of sermon called "jeremiad". This sermon basically wanted to scare people by stating that if anyone committed any sin, they would be tortured and burnt in hell.  

By all this, people would remain Puritan and believe in God and Church.

Why might the author have included the detail about Father Paul picking up the magazine?
Verdich [7]

Answer:

3. It suggests that similar missionary work was causing conflict in other places as well.

Explanation:

In Leslie Marmon Silko's short story "The Man To Send Rain Clouds", the story revolves around the beliefs of the native American Indians and the Christian priest. The traditional Indian pagan beliefs and the Catholic faiths present the contrast in the story.

When Leon and his brother-in-law Ken found his grandfather's dead body in the fields, Len decided to take care of the burial according to their Indian beliefs. But his wife Louise insist on telling the Catholic priest about the death so that he may also give a proper burial to their grandfather. But the priest believes that the Pueblo color painting and other rituals are pagan and against the catholic beliefs.

When Father Paul came to the house of the grieving family, he asserts that the holy water is only for a Catholic burial and not for something like the Pueblo rituals and ceremonies that Leon had done for his grandfather. In teh process of negotiating the application of the holy water on the dead body, Father Paul picks up a "<em>glossy missionary magazine... the colored pages full of lepers and pagans</em>". This inclusion of the missionary magazine is suggestive of the there missionary attempts/ works that are undertaken in other parts, but which had also been opposed by the 'native' residents of wherever that work has been carried out.

This tiny detail is included in the scene to show that there had been other instances of conflict regarding missionary work in other places as well.
