The Jungle Book


While reading I realized that the differences between the pack,the monkeys and the tiger are very remarkable, first the pack has an organized social structure, all belonging to the herd live under the rules, under the law of the jungle, each and every one of the members comply with these rules, and are organized, as long as they make decisions they do in groups, although they have a leader who has earned the respect and the right to be a leader for his wisdom. On the other hand, the monkeys (the Bandar-Log) but equally represent a pack, this lacks a leader, because according to the author are unable to be responsible and follow rules. They prefer to be "free", but they are also unfair and mocking, lazy, liars, gossips, charlatans and they are unable to hunt. Nobody respects the jungle because they do not follow any rules just follow your baser instincts. And finally the tiger Shere Khan, who also lives in a kind of pack too, along with Tabaqui a jackal, is another animal that does not live under the law of the jungle, preferring to hunt domestic animals and that it is easier since they are not dangerous, being lame from birth, does not have the same capabilities of a regular tiger, respects neither men nor to any authority. With regard to Mowgli, who had a different upbringing to that of a normal child, then lived with a pack of wolves surrounded by animals who taught him to follow rules, to respect nature and to respect life. He had the opportunity to learn different things, to live on both sides, and even lived with humans, has always been greatly influenced by the teachings of the bear Baloo, always had in mind the law of the jungle, and although they called wild child, he always look not to break the rules. The main differences in their upbringing are first, Mowgli lived away from the greed and avarice, for in the jungle had no material goods, the only way to be respected was through knowledge, not wealth. Secondly, learned to hunt out of necessity and not for fun, Mowgli learned to respect nature and to get her just enough. And finally, Mowgli learned to live in harmony with all the animals of the jungle, no matter that he was a man cub and it could come to represent a danger to them.
