Analysis Of Hu By Jonathan D Spence

However simultaneously during this time of anarchy and imperialism there were many different cultural and religious sects forming in China. This provides the modern day reader with one of the main obstacles from fully comprehending the text seeing as it cannot be approached from a mere linguistic point of view, as to do this a comparison between various translations would be necessary.

By December, Foucquet and his European associates were completely convinced of Hu’s insanity. Now staying in the Bayneses home, Hu is just as terrible as he was in Renault’s home. His room was filthy, his furniture was rearranged, and he treated Mrs. Baynes and her daughter very poorly, even threatening to hit her daughter on one occasion (Spence 82). One night he dreamed that his mother had died and became inconsolable for days, refusing to believe that it was just a dream (Spence 82). In China, being a guest of someone’s home means being appreciative and good mannered, making Hu’s behavior completely

At first, Huck enjoyed his new setting and life in the cabin, but eventually he started to grow sick of being locked up for long periods of time. He began to get annoyed at seeing his father getting drunk and violent all the time. He says, "But by-and-by pap got too handy with his hick'ry, and I couldn't stand it. I was all over welts. He got to going away so much, too, and locking me in." (Twain 1216).

While on the river, Huck comes across the duke and the dauphin, two individuals that represent selfishness and greed in the community. These “liars aren’t no kings nor dukes at all, but just low-down humbugs and frauds” (125) and take advantage of innocent

In the beginning of the novel, Huckleberry Finn is portrayed as a “white trash” kid who is selfish in the way that he only thinks about himself. He doesn't want to stay with his

Foucquet felt it necessary to copy Chinese text with his own interpretations to “prove the mysteries of the true religion and save the mission in China from the errors into which it is falling.” (Spence 13) Foucquet, from this passage, shows a yearning need to do what was right for China and the religious prosperity in China. As the story unfolds it is shown that Foucquet’s goals are so rigid on becoming high up in the Jesuit order that he does not care for the average person such as Hu. “Foucquet declares [Hu] to be a fool” (Standeart 137) which can be reasonable given how Hu acts but it shows how Foucquet has little respect for him. Foucquet also shows how little respect he has for Hu when he does not even think about paying for Hu’s trip home or his stay at the asylum in Charenton. Even though Hu did not complete his required contract Foucquet should have payed for his trip back to China because he brought him to the western world. Leaving Hu left to fend for himself in a land where he does not speak the language, when Hu was brought over by Foucquet, shows his lack of respect for Hu. Though neither Hu nor Foucquet feel like they got what they asked for from the contract they signed,

Huck also believes that his luck is not of the greatest so he also bases his decision of giving up the money he has in hopes of increasing his luck. all of these things are contributing to his core self.

In the book, Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain, the author uses the characters in the book to portray the stereotypical southerner as violent, greedy, and racist. He uses characters like Colonel Sherburn to show how southerners a ruthless and cannot look past what society makes them out to be. Twain uses people like the Duke and King to show how the stereotypical southerner can be greedy. The Duke and King are driven by money and will break any kind of morals to get what they want. Lastly the author uses Pap to show how racist one can be.

1. Trade rights and religious perceptions affected how Matteo Ricci viewed relations with china by taking a different strategy than the other missionaries. “…the Jesuit Matteo Ricci (1552-1610) encouraged his followers to immerse themselves in the language and to become conversant with the rich traditions of Chinese literature (Source 21.2, Ricci, Matteo, in Patterns of World History, Vol. 2, p. S21-4)”. Instead of limiting their training in Chinese language and culture and focusing merely on the conversion of the poor, the Jesuits instead immersed themselves in the Chinese language and high culture of the empire. They gained recognition through their advanced knowledge in mathematics, astronomy, military science and other European learning required by the imperial

Huck Finn, a narcissistic and unreliable young boy, slowly morphs into a courteous figure of respect and selflessness. After Pap abducts the young and civilized Huck, Huck descends into his old habits of lies and half-truths. However, upon helping a runaway slave escape, Huck regains morality and a sense of purpose. Throughout The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain, Huck lies to characters, casting the authenticity of the story into doubt but illustrating Huck’s gradual rejection of lying for himself and a shift towards lying for others.

When Huckleberry Finn escape from the Walter Scott with the murder boat, Huck regretted that he left the murder stranded on the wreck because he think that there might come a day he will end up to be a murder himself. In other words, Huck compares himself to the condition the robber have on the wreck, they too wanted to survive and he blame himself for ruining their plan. To solve the problem, Huck finds their raft and stop on shore for help. Huck finds a watchman and tells him that his family is stuck on the Walter Scott and needed help. However, the plan failed and the robber dies. The author, Mark Twain shows that Huck in this chapter is concern about those whom can’t seem to help themselves such as the robbers. Huck is a very compassionate

What would drive a young child to kill a pig, spread its blood around an island, and run away from his father? In Mark Twain's Adventures of Huckleberry Finn Huck does all of this to escape his poor and often drunk father. This experience is so bad that he runs away with an attempt to look like he had been murdered. While many readers view this as tragic and unimportant, it is an integral part of this story. When Huck is stuck on the same island as his father his deep needs are seen, most importantly for a better male figure, but also the need for a female role model, and his ingenuity.

Another important fact regarding the picaro as a wanderer is the notion that he will change as a result of his travels, "the main character often grows intellectually and morally through his various encounters along the path of his journey" (Bibliomania). Huck's character matures throughout the novel from that of a boy to one that can be seen as something closer to a man. Huck begins to have a conscience, which proves that he is beginning to mature because he begins to actually think about things, and care about them. Huck's maturation can be observed in the scene where he chooses to tell Mary Jane the truth about the two men posing as her uncles, "I got to tell the truth, and you want to brace up, Miss Mary, because it's a bad kind and going to be hard to take, but there ain't no help for it" (420). Huck's maturation is evident here because he can't stand to see Mary Jane and her sisters cheated of the money they deserve, and so happy because their uncles are back when in reality they're only frauds. Huck's conscience continues to bother him until he tells Mary Jane the truth, and therefore it is apparent that Huck is growing as a result of his travels because his conscience begins to affect him, forcing him to show that he is a good and kind-hearted person.
