The Man Village Book(more like essay)


If you've ever seen a show like "Law and Order" you know everyone has a role but you never get to see everyone's view on things . In The Jungle Book there are many characters just like a TV show. There is the lead or main character and sub characters you don't get the whole story on. When you don’t get the sub characters stories you don't know this question; Are they more important than the main character?

In the book The Jungle Book the main character is Mowgli (jungle word for frog) given to him by his wolf pack. Mowgli strayed away from his village and had to learn the ways of the jungle. If we take Mowgli's view in this book and truly analyze It; the results would show that he was a young boy trying to live and learn the ways of the jungle(not by choice) while coming upon the struggles of the Banderlog and Sherkhan some of the most hated animals in the jungle. Then its also a happy time for Mowgli, he finds his birth mom and overcomes the struggles of Sherkhan and the Banderlog If anyone else were to be the main character this story would have drastic changes.

If you were to take this story from the point of view of a human in this story not animal but a human like the chief hunter in the Man-Village you would see a very different story.  The chief hunter hates Mowgli after Mowgli comes back and calls him a buffoon and an idiot because the stories he told were true but he though they were wrong. Then he went to not only hunt the tiger(which Mowgli killed) but also eliminate Mowgli. When the hunter said that Mowgli used magic they believed him and Mowgli became an outcast. Mowgli destroyed the land and saved his family, while rescuing jungle and killing man.

So as you can see without  Mowgli there would be no story; therefore no essay to see if the point of view of a sub character could be more important. Now your asking why is this relevant; well this essay is worth nothing because I would be a sub character to Ruyard Kippling who is the writer(main character) and with no writer there is no book which means there isn't an essay. All in all without the main characters point of view there is no point.
