Rudyard Kipling wrote “Mowgli’s Brothers”,
the story. The main theme was being accepted into a group. Rudyard
Kipling had a technique called personification that made his writing
more intriguing. This book reminded me of another story by Bayard
Taylor, called Beauty and the Beast. We are going to focus on
Rudyard and the Jungle Book, but it is worth mentioning another classic
that uses personification. |

Being accepted to a group is the theme of
this story. Mowgli had been walking around in the jungle alone, and yet
wasn’t afraid. The wolf family had decided to adopt him to their family.
Before they could, they had to get permission from the wolf council, for
that was the Law of the Jungle. Nobody had spoken for Mowgli. Suddenly,
Baloo, a very cunning bear, had spoken for him. Not too long after,
Bagheera, a wise panther, had followed, making a deal that he would
bargain with a bull he had killed not a mile away. It was decided that
Mowgli would continue living with the wolves. |

The author used a technique in his writing.
It was called “personification”. Personification means to give animals
human traits. In this story the traits included being protective and mischievous. Mother
Wolf had been very protective when she quarreled with Shere Khan for the
life of the man’s cub. Tabaqui, Shere Khan’s assistant, was very
mischievous when he tried to take food from the wolf family. He also was
mischievous when he talked about how big the children’s eyes were. |

The theme of this story reminded me of many other classics. This
includes Tarzan, the man who was raised by apes. Tarzan, like Mowgli,
had troubles fitting into a group. Tarzan was abandoned after his family
was killed in a jungle in Africa. A family of Apes took him in, and
Tarzan had to get used to the way they lived. Another way “Mowgli’s
Brothers” reminds me of Tarzan, is that both stories use personification.
Other movie classics that have personification are, Beauty and the
Beast, Cinderella, and Lion King. |

“Mowgli’s Brothers”, was a very
appealing story that included, being accepted to a group, as a theme.
Personification can make a story enjoyable. Keep your eyes open for the
sequel. |
