Why is ¨ The Jungle Book " such an important part in this story?
The Jungle Book plays a key role in this story because it is a backdrop to the main character´s life. It plays role in the grandfather Leonardo´s childhood and life as well as in his story of the Tiger´s wife and Natalia´s childhood. The book was given to the grandfather as a gift when small and then he used that to show his village that the devil walking around was actually a tiger. He also compared his current life situations to the book and put himself in Mongli´s place. These situations take place during the time of the tiger´s wife story and help build it up. The book is later used to bet with the deathless man, it is the reason why they see each other more than once & hints why the grandfather did not want anyone to know where he went or who he was with when he died. Also, the book was used to bring Natalia up during her childhood.

Do you think the deathless man encountered NG before he went to tell him how he will die? And what do you believe the deathless man wants to do with the Jungle Book after he has possession of it? Why not give it to his family?

ReplyDeleteThis is an interesting idea that you may want to elaborate on when you write your essay. How was it used to raise Natalia? What examples can you give from the text?
