Which piece of dialogue from Leslie Marmon Silko’s story "The Man to Send Rain Clouds" best illustrates that Christian rites are not important to Leon or his community? “Thank God for that. Teofilo is a very old man. You really shouldn’t allow him to stay at the sheep camp alone.”

“No, he won’t do that any more now.”
The priest dragged a chair out of the kitchen and offered it to Leon.

“No thank you, Father. I only came to ask you if you would bring your holy water to the graveyard.”
“‘Why didn’t you tell me he was dead? I could have brought the Last Rites anyway.”

Leon smiled. “It wasn’t necessary, Father.”
Leon put on his green cap and pulled the flaps down over his ears. “It’s getting late, Father. I’ve got to go.”

When Leon opened the door Father Paul stood up and said, "Wait."

The piece of dialogue that best illustrates that Christian rites are not important to Leon or his community is:

"No thank you, Father. I only came to ask you if you would bring your holy water to the graveyard."

"Why didn't you tell me he was dead? I could have brought the Last Rites anyway."

Explanation:

"The Man to Send Rain Clouds" is a short story by Leslie Marmon Silko. The theme concerns the respect for the culture and traditions of Native Americans.

In the story, Leon and Ken do not tell the Catholic priest about the death of old man Teofilo. They do not wish for the priest to impose a Christian funeral. They perform their traditional rituals, only inviting the Father later to sprinkle some holy water on Teofilo's grave. Leon believes that will help Teofilo to send them rain clouds. The Father sprinkles the holy water without understanding his role in the beautiful ritual.

The piece of dialogue we selected above shows how unimportant Leon thinks Christian rites to be. Leon clearly does not want the priest to do anything else besides sprinkling the holy water.
