Teamwork the Wolfpack

Copy Link

TEAMWORK THE WOLFPACK In 1894, English author Rudyard Kipling wrote “The Jungle Book,” a story about a young boy raised by a pack of wolves in the jungles of India. The story included a poem, “The Law of the Jungle,” which still holds many truths today, both for society in general and athletics in particular. Here are the first two stanzas of the poem: Now this is the Law of the Jungle -- as old and as true as the sky; And the Wolf that shall keep it may prosper, But the Wolf that shall break it must die. As the creeper that girdles the tree-trunk, the law runneth forward and back -- For the strength of the Pack is the Wolf, and the strength of the Wolf is the Pack. Have you ever watched a nature program about wolfpacks? Wolves truly are amazing animals and are legendary with how they handle themselves within the pack. They follow a very structured hierarchy in day-to-day living, especially when they go on a hunt. They fully understand that each wolf has a specific job to do. It must be done well, or the pack will starve. From the moment they begin to stalk an animal, to the chase, to the actual attack on the prey, wolves are very cunning, calculated, and relentless until their job and the hunt is done. Through excellent communication, each wolf executes its job in a way that is always best for the pack. Any rogue or selfish behavior is punished severely and can result in death. 1. What lessons can you learn from the poem “The Law of the Jungle?” 2. Even though individual wolves are not large creatures, a wolfpack is feared across the animal kingdom… Why? 3. What happens to wolves that choose “to do their own thing?”... Why? 4. What does this team need to do to become more like a wolfpack? 5. What can you do to help this team play like a pack of wolves? THE PACK THAT PRAYS TOGETHER, STAYS TOGETHER, AND PLAYS TOGETHER!! .

Tales for Children 140

Chapter V Tales for Children 140 Chapter V Tales for Children The short stories written in Vermont initiate a phase of Kipling's career in which he can be considered as having become a writer for children. In Something of Myself, he has more to say about the group of children's books than about any other. It is his main point that only in a limited sense ought they to be regarded as children's book at all as they have a lot to offer to the adult readers also. Most mature readers who like Kipling agreed with this opinion and the books are most keenly appreciated by those who read them first in childhood (or listened to them being read) and have then come back to them in later life. This is the road to finding those layers of significance which Kipling, in fact, claimed to have put into them. These stories are categorized under three groups. A) Animal Tales) School Tales 3) Historical Tales. The collections of stories studied under these categories are, I) Animal Tales-r/ze Jungle Books (1894), Just so Stones (1902) II) School Tales-Stalky&Co (1899). III) Historical Tales-PwcA: of the Pook's Hill (1906), Rewards and Fairies (1910) I. Animal Tales Rudyard Kipling's Jungle Books are a blessed province of fancy and imagination where the readers can flee and be at peace. Rudyard Kipling wrote the stories with extraordinary power of imagination and flashes of unforgettable description virtuosity. The Jungle Books consist of a strange world where animals talk.

Bairister-at-Law. LONDON THE BOOKMAN'S JOURNAL 173, FLEET STREET, E.C.4. NEW YORK JAMES F. DRAKE. INC. 1922 z f\5as oz^l — PREFACE To the fact that in the course of many years I gathered tog-ether what became known as the most comprehensive collection of the writings of Rudyard Kipling, and to the fact that no-one has compiled an exhaustive bibliography of these writings is due this work. How great has been the need for a full and up to date bibliography of Kipling's works needs no telling. From Lahore to London and from London to New York his various publishers have woven a bibliographical maze such as surely can hardly be paralleled in the literature about literature. The present attempt—the first which has been made in England, so far as I know, on any extensive scale—to form a detailed guide to this bibliographical maze is necessarily tentative; and despite all errors and omissions, for which, as a mere tyro, I crave indulgence, I trust that the following pages will provide not only a handy record for collectors of the writings of our great imperialist poet and novelist, but a basis for the fuller and more perfect work, which the future will bring forth.

JUNGALBOOK an Adaptation of Rudyard Kipling’S the Jungle Book Stories by Edward Mast

JUNGALBOOK An adaptation of Rudyard Kipling’s The Jungle Book Stories By Edward Mast Act I (40 minutes) Join the beloved characters Mowgli, Baloo, Bagheera and many more on an adventure in the jungle as a young mancub fights for survival! Our story begins with Baloo the bear. He teaches the Law of the Jungle, explaining that no one survives unless they follow the Law. The rules must be abided, including never steal meat from another animal’s kill, hunt in your own territory, and never kill men. Unfortunately, some animals are slow learners. Two young wolves, Grab and Grey, fight over a piece of meat. Their leader, Akela, demands to know what it is and learns that it’s a live mancub! Baloo reminds them that the Law of the Jungle states no killing of men. Bagheera, the panther, approaches and offers to buy the mancub in exchange for a big bull, but there’s a catch: the wolves must raise the mancub as one of their own. Akela isn’t sure about the deal until Sherakhan the tiger demands the meat back, explaining it belongs to him (and that he’s already killed the mancub’s parents). Horrified that Sherakhan has defied an important rule, the rest of the animals defend the little mancub and Sherakhan threatens he will be back to eat his meat. After the tiger leaves, Akela names the mancub “Mowgli” and Baloo and Bagheera also promise to protect him. Ten years pass and Mowgli is now a young boy. He’s learned much about the Law of the Jungle, but still has a lot more to learn.

JUNGLE BOOK CHAPTER ONE Mowgli's Brothers

JUNGLE BOOK CHAPTER ONE Mowgli's brothers One very warm evening in the Seeonee hills in Southern India, Father Wolf woke up from his day's rest. Next to him lay Mother Wolf, with their four cubs beside her. 'It's time to look for food,' said Father Wolf, and he stood up to leave the cave. 'Good luck,' said a voice. It was the jackal, Tabaqui, who eats everything and anything, even pieces of old clothes from the villages. The wolves of India do not like him, because he runs around making trouble and telling bad stories about them. 'Shere Khan, the tiger, is coming to look for food here,' said Tabaqui. 'He can't,' cried Father Wolf. 'By the Law of the Jungle he must tell us first, before he comes here to hunt.' 'Shere Khan has a bad leg, so he can kill only cows. In the village near him the people are angry. That is why he is coming here - to start hunting in a new place. Listen, you can hear him now,' said Tabaqui. 'He is a stupid animal,' said Father Wolf, and he listened to the angry noise of a tiger who has not eaten. 'No one will find anything to eat in the jungle now.' 'But Shere Khan is hunting man, not animal, tonight,' said Tabaqui. The Law of the Jungle says that animals must not hunt man, because man-killing brings men with guns. Then everybody in the jungle is in danger. Father and Mother Wolf listened to Shere Khan in the jungle not far away.

Rudyard Kipling

SELECTED VERSE OF RUDYARD KIPLING Introduction by lizzy welby Coeor’s LıBrarY 3 Kipling Poetry 1-3123 29/3/12, 9:29 am Introduction dr lizzy welby Rudyard Kipling’s art, like the man himself, is curiously kaleidoscopic. Just as you think you have understood him, you stumble across a piece he has penned that sends you scuttling back to square one. Taking a broad view of his writing career, which spanned more than five decades (six, if you include the posthumous publications), you will find a broad range of writing, from novels and short stories to propaganda speeches and iconic inscriptions for the War Graves Commission. He could write for adults and children with equal deftness and imbue animals and machines with an authentic voice. Alongside his prose, Kipling is equally well known for his verse, all of which seems almost effortless in its technical accomplishment, including the notoriously complex sestina. At a young age, he could parody, in voice, tone and technique great poets on both sides of the Atlantic, from Milton to Emerson, Wordsworth to Stevenson. And the door swings both ways. Kipling’s influence can be read in T. S. Eliot’s poetry1 (he 1 When addressing members of the Kipling Society at their Annual Luncheon, Eliot stated that ‘Kipling had accompanied me ever since boyhood [and] traces of [his art] appear in my own mature verse where no diligent scholarly sleuth has yet observed them’. ‘The Unfading Genius of Rudyard Kipling’, Kipling Journal, vol. 36, 129, 1959, 9–12 (p. 9). Robert Crawford has subsequently tracked down some of those traces of Kipling in Eliot’s 9 Kipling Poetry 1-3129 29/3/12, 9:29 am Introduction to Selected Verse of Rudyard Kipling borrowed the metre from ‘The Long Trail’ for ‘Skimbleshanks the Railway Cat’, in his Old Possum’s Book of Practical Cats).
The Jungle Book

The Jungle Book By Rudyard Kipling Contents Foreword Mowgli's Brothers Hunting-Song of the Seeonee Pack Kaa's Hunting Road-Song of the Bandar-Log "Tiger! Tiger!" Mowgli's Song The White Seal Lukannon "Rikki-Tikki-Tavi" Darzee's Chant Toomai of the Elephants Shiv and the Grasshopper Her Majesty's Servants Parade Song of the Camp Animals The Jungle Book Rudyard Kipling PREFACE The demands made by a work of this nature upon the generosity of specialists are very numerous, and the Editor would be wanting in all title to the generous treatment he has received were he not willing to make the fullest possible acknowledgment of his indebtedness. His thanks are due in the first place to the scholarly and accomplished Bahadur Shah, baggage elephant 174. on the Indian Register, who, with his amiable sister Pudmini, most courteously supplied the history of ‘Toomai of the Elephants’ and much of the information contained in ‘Her Majesty’s Servants.’ The adventures of Mowgli were collected at various times and in various places from a multitude of informants, most of whom desire to preserve the strictest anonymity. Yet, at this distance, the Editor feels at liberty to thank a Hindu gentleman of the old rock, an esteemed resident of the upper slopes of Jakko, for his convincing if somewhat caustic estimate of the national characteristics of his caste— the Presbytes. Sahi, a savant of infinite research and industry, a member of the recently disbanded Seeonee Pack, and an artist well known at most of the local fairs of Southern India, where his muzzled dance with his master attracts the youth, beauty, and culture of many villages, have contributed most valuable data on peoples, manners, and customs.
