Dickens uses the supernatural as a method of holding a mirror up to Scrooge who is forced to confront the error of his ways. Dickens shows that if Scrooge fails to do this it will result in him having a similar fate to Marley.
Dickens uses the ghost to emphasize that there is a chance of redemption for Scrooge “that you have yet a chance and hope of escaping my fate”. Dickens’ use of the supernatural continues throughout the story as a means of arousing nostalgia, thought, fear and action by Scrooge. All of these emotions, which Dickens shows us Scrooge is feeling, demonstrate the gradual change in Scrooge throughout the book, and as these changes take place, our thoughts and feelings towards the relationship we have with Scrooge also changes; we begin to understand him and see under his hard outer shell.

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.
