VI. Paragraph Questions and Answers.
Question 1.
What do you know about The Jungle Book*?
Answer:
The Jungle Book was written by Rudyard Kipling. The book has attracted audiences of all ages for its plot structure and characters. Children especially enjoy this story, as it deals with the early childhood of a boy in the midest of wild animals in the forest. It has many episodes such as the acceptance of Mowgli by the pack of wolves, the friendship between Bagheera, the black panther and Mowgli. Bagheera serves as a friend, protector and mentor to the man-cub. It has also episodes of Mowgli’s adventurous trips in the jungle with Baloo, the bear and the fight between Mowgli and the monkey’s gang. Mowgli was forced to leave the jungle. But after sometime, he decides to return to the jungle and lives there.
Question 2.
Explain In detail about the law of the Jungle.
Answer:
The law of the Jungle, which never orders anything without a reason, forbids every beast to eat Man, except when he is killing to show his children how to kill and then he must hunt outside the hunting grounds of his pack or tribe. The real reason for this is that Man-killing means, sooner or later, the arrival of men on elephants with guns and rockets and torches. Then everybody in the jungle suffers. The reasons the beasts give among themselves is that Man is the weakest and most defenceless of all living things.

Textual Activities
Warm Up
Look at the pictures given below and talk about their habitat (living place, food, family, etc, )
Answer:
Every living organism has- a habitat. Habitats vary greatly from organism to organism, because all living things have different needs for survival. A human being needs a beautiful house to live in. He needs good healthy food and a loving family around him. Most people prefer to live in cities.
Animals like Tigers, Lions and Monkeys live in the forests or jungles. They are happy to be in their habitat instead of being caught and kept in zoos. Lions live generally in western India and African Savannah, where the forest is not so dense. These grasslands invite a lot of herbivores to come there and be hunted by the lions. Gorillas thrive in the tropical and sub-tropical forests that run along the equatorial belt. Abundant and green vegetation is the main characteristic of the gorilla habitat. Gorillas form a family of 15-20 consisting of adults and kids and live peacefully.
The Jungle Book Summary
Section I
The Jungle book was written by Rudyard Kipling. Children enjoy this story, as it deals with the early childhood of a boy in the midst of wild animals in the forest. The characters in this story are Father Wolf, Mother Wolf, Tabaqui (the Jackal), Shere Khan (the Tiger), Man’s Cub (Mowgli), Wolf’s Cubs and the Narrator.
The scene opens in the Seeonee Hills. It was seven o’clock in the evening. There were no stars in the sky. It was utter darkness in the forest. Father Wolf woke up from his day’s rest and got ready for the hunt. Mother Wolf dropped her four tumbling cubs into the mouth of the cave, where they all live. Father Wolf moved down to spring downhill, where he meets Tabaqui, the jackal. He informed the Father Wolf and the Mother Wolf that Shere Khan had shifted his hunting grounds.
So he had told Tabaqui that he will hunt among those hills for the next moon. Shere Khan was the Tiger, who lived near the Waingunga river, twenty miles away from the Seeonee Hills. Father Wolf got angry and told that he had no right to come there and change his quarters with due warning. Mother Wolf told them that since Shere Khan had been lame in one foot right from his birth, his mother called him Lungri (the Lamd One). The villagers of the Waingunga were angry with him and he had come there to make their villagers angry. She said that they must run away by setting fire on Shere Khan. Hearing this, the Jackal moved away saying that they can hear Shere Khan below in the forest.
Section II
Father Wolf listened to the dry, angry whine of a tiger, who has caught nothing. Father Wolf called Shere Khan a fool to begin a night’s work with that noise. Mother Wolf told him that Shere Khan intends to hunt a man and not any other animal. The whine of the Shere Khan had changed to a sort of humming purr that seemed to come from every quarter of the compass. It was the noise that frightened everyone in the jungle.
Section III
The law of the jungle never orders anything without a reason, forbids every beast to eat man, except when he is killing to show his children how to kill and then he must hunt outside the hunting grounds of his pack or tribe. The purr grew louder and there was an untigerish howl from Shere Khan. He howled because he had burnt his feet, as he accidently jumped into a woodcutter’s campfire. The bushes rustled a little in the forest and so Father Wolf was ready for his leap. When he saw a Man’s cub, he stopped to leap at him. This naked baby looked up into Father’s Wolf’s face and laughed.
The baby pushed his way between the cubs to get close to the warm hide. Mother Wolf was happy to have the man’s cub with them. Shere Khan came to the entrance and asked for the baby. The mouth of the cave was too narrow for a tiger to go into it. The Mother Wolf came forward facing Shere Khan bravely. She said that the Man’s cub belonged to her. He would live with them and in the end would hunt Shere Khan. Father Wolf looked amazed at the courage of Mother Wolf. Shere Khan backed out of the cave growling and insisting that the man club belonged to him.
Section IV
Mother Wolf threw herself down panting among the cubs, and when Father Wolf asks her whether she wanted to keep the Man-cub, she said that she would keep him with her cubs. Shere Khan would have killed him, if she had let him out. She named him as ‘Mowgli’ the little Frog and told him that he had to hunt Shere Khan, as he had hunted him.
