Answer:
Have you ever walked on the thorny path of life? A certain situation where you have nobody to lean on except God? You asked something from Him and told him the exact amount you need?
"A Letter to God" is a story written by Gregorio Lopez Y Fuentes, a Mexican writer, who was one of the most important chroniclers of the Mexican Revolution and its effects. The story presents the infinite faith of a man to God. Lencho, the main character of the story, even he experienced a great turbulence in his livelihood which made him worry still believes that a help from God will come and that his family will not go hungry despite what happened. The theme of the story, if I am going to base it in biblical sense, Whatever troubles you encounter always believe in God for He will always carry you and never leave you. However, the story is a satyr trying to tackle a reality which really exists in the society.
The story is told in third person point of view. The story begins with a brief description of the setting in which we could safely say that it happened in the rural area of Mexico. The setting remotely talking about a house which is singled out in the entire valley, a hill, the river which is seen on heights, the field of corn tilted by the family gives us an idea in the first part of the story that Lencho, being the main character, is a farmer, who supports his family needs through farming. The conflict of the story happens when a hailstorm struck the field and destroyed his farm. All our work, for nothing! The entire land was wrecked by the catastrophe. There is no one who can help us! This dialogue proves how terrible the aftermath of the calamity was. The type of conflict dominating in the story is Man vs. Nature.
As the story progresses, the family was so distraught. They thought that there was no hope at all, not a single one. Don't be so upset, even though this seems like a total loss. Remember no one dies of hunger. This line gives us a premise that the family has regained back their hope and that hope is a help from God. The next thing that happened, Lencho, being described as an ox of a man started to write a letter addressed to God. And he went to the post office to mail the letter to Him. This action of Lencho suggests his all-out faith to the Heavenly Father. Such a prodigy of faith, he is!
When the postman read the receiver of the letter, he laughed heartily and went to his boss. The postmaster didn't want to disillusion Lencho's faith so they answered the letter but they were able to raise an amount of money which is more than a little half of the amount he asked. This is now the denouement of the story when Lencho received the letter which he thought God has sent to him. But he was so disappointed of the amount of money he receives. But still his faith in Him is still intact trying to send another letter telling Him not to send the letter to the post office because those employees are a bunch of crooks.
If we will analyse the story in depth, we could say that it is a satyr of the reality happening in our country. If we take Lencho character, someone who is very faithful to the creator but still very malcontent of what he receives. If we take the characters of the postmen they are those people who are willing to help and gave help but still they appear to be the antagonist. And if we take the situation that someone gives what a person who is need but he used another person to give it to the needy one there could be possibility that the aid he sends will not be fully received by the supposed receiver. The situation which I mentioned is very rampant especially here in Philippine setting.
Nevertheless, even if you experienced harshness in life always remember you should not lose hope and do something to overcome that problem by doing the best because remember God will do the rest and He will send instruments that will help you. He will do it in his own best ways!
