Teofilo is given a traditional Indian burial, and Louis, another family member, suggests that holy water be sprinkled on Teofilio’s grave. Leon goes to see the priest, who eventually agrees to do so. Throughout the story, we see a theme of respect; whether it be the respect Teofilo’s family has for him, or the respect from those of both Indian and Catholic have for the others belief. The actions of characters in “The Man to Bring Rain Clouds” reflect the theme of respect. In the beginning, Leon ties a feather in his grandfather’s hair, symbolizing the respect he has for him.

The Crusades A Comparison Paper of “Albert of Aachen on the Peasants’ Crusade” and “Anna Comnena’s Alexiad” from The Crusades: A Reader The perspectives of these two writings differ in a number of ways, especially in regard to their opinions of the Western Christians, and in their recollections about the actions of (and their reactions to) Peter the Hermit. Albert of Aachen appeared to view Peter as an extremely honest, persuasive, and pious priest who believed that all Christians were good, and whose words struck a chord in a variety of people during the year 1096, calling them from all walks of life to go on pilgrimage to the Holy Land. His words alone managed to cultivate a fortuitous friendship with a foot soldier named Walter the Penniless who took up arms and men to journey to the Holy Land at Peter’s request. Albert of Aachen speaks of the subsequent events of the journey with a humble, innocent, yet eloquent flair, strongly flavored with a bias favoring the Western Christians. The actions of both Walter and Peter come across as righteous, just, fair, and forcibly reactionary, as though they only act out of necessity and for vengeance.

(Lauter 336) ” Winthrop realized that in order for the colony to succeed he had to have the colonist working as one unit especially considering the imminent dangers they were facing in the New World.

Winthrop assures his colonist that being rich, or poor is all part of God’s plan and everyone has a purpose in that plan.

With us as God’s children we as man represent one family made up of each individual on earth.
