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.

P. J. is writing the conclusion of his argumentative essay about the value of volunteering overseas. The conclusion he wrote is
daser333 [38]
<span>so from what i understand... my discussion. In our Christian language, we may prefer to call volunteering, serving. Service moves from mere physical motions to human action (Wuthnow 1991: 45). Service incorporates all aspects of our humanity, instead of just the physical need at hand. Love, justice, compassion, action, presence, and understanding embody the cultural framework of Christian service, to which this human action refers. Service goes a step further than volunteering one's free afternoon to dish out food at a local soup kitchen....

compare and contrast stopping by the woods on a snowy evening poem and raccoon Olympics at least 2 paragraphs
lys-0071 [83]

Answer:

"Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening" is a well-known Robert Frost classic that has become a mainstay in English classes throughout the U.S. and beyond. First published in 1923, it quickly became a popular poem to commit to memory and recite due to its short length and mysteriously impactful content.

Although many readers know all of the poem's words by heart, its interpretation isn't quite as straightforward. Should readers take Frost's words literally and see nothing beyond the snow, the horse and the woods? Or is there something more to ponder? With Frost, the latter is usually the case.
