Kipling loved reading Be prepared to open up your imagination for them to his daughter a new -- non-Disney -- experience in the lush jungles of India! About the Director Gay H. Hammond is Director of WonderQuest and Resident Dramatist of the Gainesville Theatre Alliance. Repeat WonderQuest patrons will recognize her as the playwright who directed and penned the script for last year’s Mermaid Song and as the lady who gives away a T-shirt to some lucky student at each performance. Ms. Hammond has been working in theatre for over 35 years and, in that time, has written 35 plays, both for young and general audiences. She loves children’s literature (she is really good at reading a story and making different voices for all the characters!) and she loves to write plays for children. Some of her favorite plays include Sophie and the Pirates, Sleeping Beauty, Stone Soup and Alice in Wonderland. She loves to play with words and is also the long- time Wordsmith and Emcee for the Hall County Literacy Spelling Bee! Ms. Hammond originally adapated The Jungle Book for the stage 10 years ago, and hopes the play will encourage children and their parents to take a look at Kiplings original stories -- because he wrote LOTS of them long before the Disney company ever made a movie. Reading the original stories helps us create pictures in our minds of just how things should look, and reading aloud is a great thing for families to do together. Read below to learn how our designers consulted the 2 book and Ms. Hammond’s script to create the world of the jungle. Creating the transformation from story book to deepest, darkest India So, once the decision is made about what One aspect of taking the story from page play to do, what next? How does the play to stage is designing scenery that helps go from storybook to a make-believe world the audience to feel like they are looking on stage? How do scenery, costumes and into a LIVE storybook. WonderQuest was character accents, posture and body language fortunate that as part of the University of help you understand the story? North Georgia and Brenau University, there are students with design skills to help create the story visually. UNG senior Emma Hoffbauer has already won numerous awards for her work regionally, and created the Jungle Book design after reading the script and talking with the director, She then began researching jungles in India and similar environments. Emma created a set that has lots of different levels, where different groups of “animals” will gather, and numerous ways for actors to enter and exit the story -- some entrances will be surprising to you! Here are some of Emma’s research pictures for The Jungle Book -- can you see where she may have been inspired to create the design that is painted on the floor? 3 We have two professionals collaborating on costume design this year; women who have been collaborating all of their lives! Isabell and Moriah Curley-Clay are twins who do both costume and scenic design for many Atlanta theatres as well as for film and TV. Isabell and Moriah begin their design process with a thorough reading and analysis of the script to determine who all the characters and and what their relationships to one another. One question they ask ourselves is “what is really going on” for the key moments that pop out t as having a strong significance in the story, and then think about what we can do with the design to highlight thosoe moments. They also talk with with directors and choreographers about how do the costumes need to function. For something like Jungle Book requiring lots of animal movement, the costumes are designed to be either loose or snug but stretchy. The colors often relate to the designers’ emotional reaction to the characters, but are also created to contrast with the set. Isabel and Moriah NEVER look at other designers work for their productions, because they don’t want someone else’s work to be in their mind while they are creating. Even if you don’t mean for them to images get stuck in your head and you can subconsciously end up copying elements of what you’ve seen. Isabel and Moriah Curley-Clay created drawings, called renderings, of all the costumes, which are used by the costume shop to purchase fabric 4 and sew costumes that are tailored to the exact measurements of the actors.

Copyright 2016 Robert Louis Friedman ! ! Abstract This thesis investigates the techniques of Rudyard Kipling and his influence on my “novel of short stories”. How did Kipling advance the short story form over a half-century of experimentation? How did his approaches enliven the reader’s experience to such a degree that his greatest works have remained in print? Beginning in 1888 with Plain Tales From the Hills, Kipling utilized three innovative techniques: the accretion of unrelated stories into the substance of a novel; the use of tales with their fantastical dreamlike appeal (as opposed to standard fictional styles of realism or naturalism) to both salute and satirize characters in adult fiction; and the swift deployment of back story to enhance both the interwoven nature and tale-like feel of the collection.

H. VA PREFACE In the course of an attempt to trace the history of the Short- Story in English it came to seem desirable, three or four years ago, to examine with some thoroughness, as the terminus ad quern, the work of Rudyard Kipling. The results of this study were rather fully set forth in the form of notes intended for class-room lectures. Revision and publication of these notes was advised by Professor Bliss Perry of Harvard College and by Professor Charles Mills Gayley of the University of Califor- nia. To these good friends of the writer this little book owes its being. Without their criticisms and suggestions, moreover, it would have been even less worthy than it is of the author with whom it is concerned. To him, to Mr. Kipling himself, thanks are due for gracious permission to take from his works the many illustrative passages with which these pages are adorned.

  • Rikki-Tikki-Tavi by Rudyard Kipling 1893
    Name: Class: Rikki-Tikki-Tavi By Rudyard Kipling 1893 Rudyard Kipling (1865-1936) was an English journalist, short-story writer, poet, and novelist. Kipling’s most popular work is his collection of short stories titled The Jungle Book. “Rikki-Tikki-Tavi” is a short story from The Jungle Book about the adventures of a young mongoose. As you read, take notes on how the characters react to danger during the story. At the hole where he went in Red-Eye called to Wrinkle-Skin. Hear what little Red-Eye saith:1 “Nag, come up and dance with death!” Eye to eye and head to head, (Keep the measure, Nag.) This shall end when one is dead; (At thy pleasure, Nag.) Turn for turn and twist for twist — (Run and hide thee, Nag.) Hah! The hooded Death has missed! (Woe2 betide3 thee, Nag!) [1] This is the story of the great war that Rikki-tikki- tavi fought single-handed, through the bath- rooms of the big bungalow in Segowlee "Yellow Mongoose" by Colin Frankland is licensed under CC BY-NC 4 cantonment. Darzee, the tailor-bird, helped him, 2.0. and Chuchundra, the musk-rat, who never comes out into the middle of the floor, but always creeps round by the wall, gave him advice; but Rikki-tikki did the real fighting. He was a mongoose, rather like a little cat in his fur and his tail, but quite like a weasel in his head and his habits. His eyes and the end of his restless nose were pink; he could scratch himself anywhere he pleased, with any leg, front or back, that he chose to use; he could fluff up his tail till it looked like a bottle-brush, and his war-cry, as he scuttled through the long grass, was: “Rikk-tikk-tikki-tikki-tchk!” One day, a high summer flood washed him out of the burrow where he lived with his father and mother, and carried him, kicking and clucking, down a roadside ditch.

  • Comparing "The Jungle Book" by Rudyard Kipling to Disney's Film Adaptations
    Abigail McMahon “I Wan’Na Be Like You”: Comparing The Jungle Books by Rudyard Kipling to Disney’s The Jungle Book (1967) and The Jungle Book (2016) Faculty Sponsor: Katherine Kittredge, Department of English Many people think that children’s literature is just for a child’s entertainment. They don’t stop to think about the moral lessons that the stories are teaching the children. Little Red Riding Hood teaches kids not to talk to strangers, The Ugly Duckling teaches kids that outer beauty wasn’t the most important thing, and Stone Soup teaches kids the importance of sharing, etc.… The Jungle Books by Rudyard Kipling is another example to the many lessons that children’s literature teaches kids. What is interesting about this set of stories is how they have been told through the years. The Jungle Books have had many adaptions and retelling of Mowgli’s tale. The most known adaption of Kipling’s stories was Disney’s animated film The Jungle Book (1967) and Disney’s newest live action version of the film, The Jungle Book (2016). The strange thing to consider is that the book and both films, while from the same source material, differ in what they offer to the audience. The original stories tell vignettes of Mowgli’s life as he grows up and what he learns from the other animals. They teach him how to be a friend to all and how to decide when a fight is worth it or not among other things. Though, a lot of the stories in Kipling’s book don’t even focus on Mowgli.

  • New Orleans Nostalgia Ned Hemard’S Weekly Column Remembering New Orleans History, Culture and Traditions
    New Orleans Nostalgia Ned Hemard’s Weekly Column Remembering New Orleans History, Culture And Traditions Rudyard Kipling, born in Bombay, India, is famous for his works “The Jungle Book”, “Kim”, “Gunga Din” and “Just So Stories”. In 1909, his inspirational poem “If” was published. Like Polonius’ advice to Laertes, it too is advice to a son. What follows is a New Orleans slant to the poem, addressed to both men and women (young and old): If, New Orleans Style If you can chill when leaders try to fool us And you love still this Crescent we call home; If you enjoy pronouncing Tchoupitoulas Or cheering when the Saints are in the Dome; If you eat crawfish drenched in Creole seas’nin’ While listenin’ to a soulful Toussaint tune; If dieting has made you lose all reas’nin’ So you have to live on sno-balls every June; If you can down a king-sized muffaletta At Central Grocery one fine afternoon; If you believe Maurice was simply not a Winning name for mayor compared to Moon; If Rock ‘n’ Bowl is where you rock and bowl in And Lenfant’s was the place you went to pet; If K-Doe used to get you rock and rollin’ And the Fairgrounds always was a lucky bet; If it’s alligator pear, not avocado; If it’s Parasol’s without a drop of a rain; If it’s NOMA now when once it was Delgado; If we once belonged to France and then to Spain; If Camellia Grill is where you’ve done some waiting For omelets, burgers or a chocolate freeze, And Bali Hai was just the spot for dating (On that point almost everyone agrees); If your Coliseum’s void of gladiators; If you’ve weathered

Scouting is an educational system formed of 7 combined elements, which are: learning by doing, teamwork, the symbolic frame, the personal progress system, the nature, the law and the promise of the scout and the adults’ support. The applicative pedagogic research takes place over a year and a half, following the pupils from the preparatory grade up to the end of the first grade. In this study we have involved five classes from which 41 students have already enlisted to the scouts, being the experimental lot, and their colleagues, 95, who are the control lot. All five classes are from Tîrgu-Mureș and the students enrolled in scouts became full members of the National Organization of Romanian Scouts (ONCR) - branch in Tîrgu-Mureș. The scouts have attended weekly meetings and outdoor activities, which prove their efficiency according to the statistic processing of the SPSS program.
