Mowgli

The book by D. R. Kipling "Mowgli" is a wise and instructive tale. The amazing story of a little boy raised by wolves reveals the primordial laws of nature and compels us to reflect on the values of human life.... A human child, finding himself in the jungle, did not perish because he found faithful and reliable friends. These friends are animals. However, Kipling does not attribute human traits to them, as is common in folk tales. They are all thinking beings and act according to circumstances in accordance with the laws of nature. Together with Mowgli, we learn the Laws of the Jungle and understand that they are in many ways beneficial to humans. For example, one can only kill animals for food, respect the laws of each society (pack), regard those one meets on the jungle path with respect, and heed the wisdom of the more knowledgeable. The tale teaches us to be loyal in friendship, brave and honest, and to respect those who gave life and nurtured us. It also provides an opportunity to understand that nature is the home of humanity, which is why it needs to be preserved, to try to live in harmony with the surrounding world. For younger and middle school age.
