The Jungle Book is a children's literary work by British poet and novelist Joseph Rudyard Kipling. It consists of five stories that are both independent and interrelated, guiding readers into a magical and moving tropical jungle. The stories tell of a child named Mowgli in the Shangri-La Mountains, who is chased by the old tiger Shere Khan, saved by wolves, and raised by the wolf pack. Under the protection and education of the wise old bear Baloo and the black panther Bagheera, Mowgli learns the laws of the forest. But under the temptation of monkeys, he puts his friends in danger. He correctly uses the forest authority language he has learned, with the help of other animals, to escape from danger. When driven out by the wolf pack, Mowgli tries to return to the human village and live among humans, but he cannot forget the jungle, his wolf brothers, and life in the jungle. When he kills the long-standing rival tiger Shere Khan and is driven out by humans, he returns to the jungle with a bit of sadness and nine-tenths of joy. Throughout this process, he understands the characteristics of the jungle, the physiology and daily habits of the animals, as well as the habits and customs of humans. Through an elephant's trunk, he witnesses how people die for money. Until he is 17, a mysterious spring impulse drives him to the human world. Kipling uses extraordinary language skills to depict the beautiful nature. He fully explores and showcases the characteristics of the animals, using personification to give them human self-esteem, calm courage, and emotional features like joy, sorrow, anger, and happiness. This descriptive style opens a new chapter in animal literature.
