Question

chactersketch of lencho​

Answer 1

Lencho was a hard working farmer. He had grown corn in his field and was waiting for rain anxiously. He was very happy to see the rain but it later turned to worry as the rain became a storm and destroyed his fields. He had deep faith in God and after the destruction of the field, he was hopeful that everything will be all right. Although Lencho was a very strong man and worked hard in the field, his faith in God made him write a letter to God. He asked for hundred pesos from God and was confident of receiving the amount. When he received only seventy pesos he again wrote to God asking for the remaining money and accusing the postal department for stealing money. This shows that Lencho was a religious man.

Answer 2

Answer:

G.L Fuentes’s story “A Letter to God” revolves around the life of Lencho, a farmer by profession and the protagonist of the story. His unquestionable belief in the Almighty is what forms the backbone of the story. With the background of a Latin American country, the story focuses on how he works hard to cultivate his fields and depends on the rain for a good harvest. Moreover, the events highlight his extreme belief in God to whom he writes a letter asking for help after his entire crop yield gets destroyed by a hailstorm.
