1. Character Development
Red Lantern is introduced in this chapter. Red Lantern comes to the village and is at first believed to be mocking the residents and the state that they are living under. Soon, he begins helping the villagers and asks for nothing in return. Red Lantern in a flat character, he is presented as a wanderer on a mission help those in need and gain anything for himself.
Little Bao is four years older now and still disregarded by his brothers. However, Red Lantern sees the potential in him and gives him nightly Kung Fu lessons. Little Bao takes his training seriously, but is still lacking in maturity. He still seeks glory and is disappointed when Red Lantern will not allow him to go with him to fight.
2. Historical/Cultural contexts
In the Chinese culture, respect is very important. Red Lantern came to the village and did not ask for anything, but helped everyone that asked him. The Village Headman gave him the last of his beans as a thank you for what Red Lantern had done for the village. As Red Lantern continued to help the village, the boys would continue their training in his absence. They accepted the food Red Lantern brought to them and never questioned or asked for more. They were merely for thankful for what he had done for them.
3. Symbols
In the first chapter, when a stranger came to town it brought about a change for the worse. In the second chapter, a stranger arrive and the village is weary and skeptical of this visitor. However, when he strikes Grandma Crooked, he fixes he face. This stranger, Red Lantern, has brought a sense of renewed hope to the village.
4. Language (visual and verbal)
The village is this second chapter is barren and there is nothing to go around. The trees are without leaves and there are no crops. Little Bao and his friend are playing his human teeth for their army game. Let me say it again, human teeth. <cring> When the rain comes, it is not noticed because there are no crops to tend. It seems to be a hopeless time for the village.
5. Theme
I'm going with a Star Wars reference and say the theme for this chapter is, a new hope. A new hope is what the Red Lantern brings to the village. He brings sight to Grandma Crooked and teaches the boys of the village Kung Fu. He sees the potential in Little Bao and does not shun him as his brothers have prior. While Red Lantern has shielded the village from the horrors he has seen, he has provided them with a renewed sense of ease and is providing them hope for what is next.
6. My Thoughts
Again... the human teeth part was gross. Once the algorithm for ads on Facebook and Etsy went array and pointed me to the add of a shop that sold a necklace of teeth. That's all I could think about when I saw that a page. However, I suppose you would have had to make due with what you had around you in those conditions.
