Answer:
The narrator develops Peyton Farquhar's fate through the stars.
Explanation:
An Occurrence at Owl Creek is a short story written by American author Ambrose Bierce, and it is the story of Peyton Farquhar and his very own death during American Civil War.
As known, Farquhar must die because he is caught in a trap set by a Union scout who tells him something related to the Owl Creek Bridge; on the other hand, Farquhar supported the Confederation.
In the excerpt, we can see how the narrator uses setting for foreshadowing Farquhar's fate: first of all, he looks up and finds the stars and constellations, that are organized where "a malign significance" could be understood, even if it is not totally accurate. However, as the story advances, readers can find what that significance is.

Answer:
He is considered to be an outsider.
Explanation:
Leslie Silko's short story "The Man to Send Rain Clouds" is about an old man's death and how his children were stuck between following their traditional burial practices and also being involved with the new Christian religion. The story deals with religion, tradition, creativity, community, etc.
In the given excerpt from the story, Leon's behavior/ reaction to Father Paul's inquiry about their old father Teofilo shows their refusal to let the Christian priest know anything. The truth was, they had found Teofilo dead and had taken his body in the truck, but Leon's insistence that <em>"Everything is O.K." </em>shows their reluctance to inform the Father about anything.
Thus, the correct answer is that Father Paul is considered to be an outsider, especially by the very traditional Leon and his beliefs.
