"The Man To Send Rain Clouds"
Here we have a contrast of two culture:
American Indian
Western European
When Teofilo dies, Leon carries out an Indian ceremony
The purpose of the deceased is to bring rain for the crops
Leon distrusts or doesn't believe the priest can give a proper funeral
| his tone towards the priest (symbolic of western thought) is respectful, because he is a priest, but also distrustful, because the priest wants the Indian to leave their own religion and convert to Christianity |
Leon's purpose for the holy water is to get Teofilo to send rain clouds for the crops. Overall, the tone of the story could be said to be solemn
