The Man Who Sent Rain Clouds
The tale "The Man Who Sent Rain Clouds" depicts two cultural aspects involving Father Paul and the Native American protagonists. Only God will induce rain in the Christian world, but in the Pueblo world, it is everyone's duty to connect with the cloud people and start precipitation. There is a struggle between the two cultures' unification. Pueblo's funeral incorporates transformation to create storm clouds, and people hope the rain will fall (Silko 2004).
It is so ironic that though in the Christian world rain comes from God, Father Paul is also an agent of innovation in this People community, though he does not understand the significance of his actions in this burial. There is a cultural diversity demonstrated between Leon and Father Paul's conversation.
Half and Half
Multiculturalism is evident in the "Half and Half" story by Amy Tan, elements of two cultures are apparent; the eastern and western culture are addressing faith in God, fate, the archetype of water and concept of baptism (Tan 2017). The mother of the narrator holds a particular belief that children are predisposed to specific dangers at a certain age and especially Chinese children though she still believes in God. The mother loses her faith and allows fate to take place. She appeases the ancestors for her to see her son. She pours tea with sugar into the see and Bing appears.
Seven
The "Seven" story by Edwidge demonstrates a reunion of a couple who have been apart for seven years. The man is preparing his house to meet his wife and other men in the house have to get robes to cover themselves for the sake of his wife (Danticat 2084). He is so excited, but then he remembers that he has been having night outs with other women which is morally wrong given that he is married. Michael reminds him that still, Jesus can take care of that. The story explains two culture elements where some belief in Jesus but others do not.
