Akela

Joining the Cub Scouts program in first grade put me on track to join the Boy Scouts of America, which at age eleven, I transitioned into, thus beginning my journey towards achieving the coveted pinnacle of the scouting program: Eagle Scout. Obtaining the Eagle rank is a long and difficult process, building within the scout strong traits of leadership, teamwork, and individual growth mindset, because progression is up to the scout. If it’s something they really want, then they will go after it and do what needs to be done. which are all essential elements in life. As progression through scouting occurs, individuals accumulate valuable experience working as a team given that the structure of the troop derives from small groups of six to eight…

In the Jungle Books, when Akela gets older and weaker, the weakened authority of sovereign fails to enforce the contract, which leads to the fade of fear of sovereign. Therefore, the ambitious and dominated nature of humans outweighs the desire for peace. The wolves are not satisfied to be led by Akela. They withdraw the rights they give him before and try to kill him. At the very beginning of the book, Akela has already worried about this situation, “his strength goes from him…, till at last he…

A key convention in the feral child genre is the exploration of following strong role models and how a loss of these role models can affect someone's life. In the early scenes of Into That Forest, Hannah's parents have been revealed dead. Becky explained that 'caught up in its branches were a woman in white, like some sort of sprite or angel,' Hannah then realises that 'it were me mother taken by the current towards Becky knew not where'. In the first quote, Becky describes Hannah's mother as an…

Another great lesson I learned in this class that I find worth mentioning came directly from our weekly movie. Even though it was just a work of fiction, there were still many practical lessons to be gleaned from Akela and the Bee. For instance, it’s important for teachers to encourage their students. Some students may not get support and encouragement at home. As a teacher, you may be the only person to ever believe in your students or show them that they can achieve success. Secondly, I…

to harm in the law so he didn't hurt the man cub. “The reason beasts give among themselve is that Man is the weakest and most defenseless of all living things, and it is unsportsmanlike to touch him.” (1.19). The laws of the jungle try to make the creatures be kind to everything that doesn't stand a chance in protecting itself so the animals don't end up like Shere Khan and kill what he wants. Towards the end of the story he challenges the pack leader for control and kill Mowgli Akela who was…

Most have the ability to win battles and navigate through life’s hurdles to bring order. One of the laws of the jungle teaches that, “Because of his age and his cunning, because of his gripe and his paw, in all that the law leaveth open, the word of the head wolf is law” (30). This is but one of the many laws of the jungle that Kipling introduces in his stories. It provides clear guidance and honors the role of leadership, thus inspiring the quality in youth. In The Jungle Books, Akela is the…

When asking the key questions to the parent helper, she had mentioned her motivation for joining the organisation and provide some outlines of the programs and structures of the group that can benefit both the community and a healthy lifestyle. One of the main reasons of joining the organisation is to provide support and encouragement to her child and the younger children. Sharing the experience and participating in new activities were also reasons to volunteer. When asked the next key question,…

well; the unparalleled “Iron Man” is a reference in the cinematic Marvel universe while its second installment lowered the expectations of something big; the comedy “Chef” put some heart and soul in an engaging story whose main character is played by himself. Even with ups and downs, Mr. Favreau shows an innate talent that is now transported to the computer-generated imagery adventure of Rudyard Kipling’s “The Jungle Book”, a realistic remake of the Walt Disney’s 1967 animated film. Our little…

him alive, and they focus on showing him the Law of the Jungle. They are all ready to battle for him. Akela, the lead wolf, administers the Free People even-handedly. Shere Khan utilizes his energy to seek after just his own particularly great and spook others. In "Kaa's Hunting," Baloo and Bagheera utilize handcuffing as a type of train, as per the Law of the Jungle. Despite the fact that they sleeve 7-year-old Mowgli delicately, their hits are hard for Mowgli. A story so centered…

neutral light. As a result, Mowgli represents the act of colonization itself or a child from the country attempting to colonize India. His presence creates a lot of strain in the jungle, because the main view is that, “[the man] destroy[s] our lands]” (The Jungle Book). Regardless of Mowgli’s lack of interactions with humans, the characteristics that made him human would appear without him realizing it. For an example, he would use different techniques and tools to complete tasks. Ironically,…
