Ifugao God and customs.
2. Describe the settings of the story. How do the settings affect the characters’ culture?
The Mountain Province is the settings of the story it is the heart of the highlands. The pine
trees were bigger, loftier than those in Baguio, and most were wreathing with hoary moss.
Sunflowers burst on the slopes, bright yellow against the grass. The sun rode over the
mountains and the rocks shone – and over everything the mist, as fine as powder, danced.
3. Filial Relationship. Write the filial relationship based on the story, The God Stealer.
The short story "The God Stealer" highlights the issue of economic classes and societal
developments. It looks at how culture and economy interact, as well as the disparities that
arise when people change economic classes.
4. Identify similarities of the Filipinos, particularly, Ifugao’s, in their thinking of God to other
nationalities.
The Ifugao’s in particular, believe that God is a creator god who oversees the entirety of the
cosmos. They also view God as an all-powerful deity who is capable of doing everything.
Additionally, they believe that if they pray to God, he will answer their prayers and help them
since he is a just and good deity. They view God as an all-powerful entity in charge of
everything. This is comparable to how many other cultures view God.
5. Based on the story, how different is the perspective between a Filipino and an American as
to religion and tradition?
The American views religion as a way to communicate with God, whereas the Filipino views it
as a tool that may be used to oppress people.
6. Give three themes that can be found in the story, The God Stealer.
Three themes define the story. The first is the cultural conflict between Philip, an Ifugao native,
and Sam, an American. The second theme is the Ifugao native's westernization. Philip received his
education in a missionary school, converted to Christianity, and abandoned the customs of his
people. The third theme is colonialism and how it affects colonized peoples, both positively and
negatively. Sam's name is frequently cited as a direct allusion to Uncle Sam, another name for the
United States of America. The Philippines are also mentioned in the name Philip. As a result, the
relationships between Sam and Philip in the story serve as metaphors for how the United States and the
Philippines relate to one another. Alternatively, analogies for interactions between colonizers and colonized
people.
