Kaa's Hunting - I can be slow in picking up poetry.i was confused until I realized one big idea. Each animal has its own reason for pride. Too much pride can be deadly, especially for cubs because they are so small. I love that Baloo's maxims are poems, unlike the Calormen poetry. The Seeone Packers Hunting Song sounds like it's for marching.

Mowgli realizes that he now must go to the man village. He says good-bye to his mother and father and the cubs. He cries and does not know what it means to cry. Bagheera tells im he is truly a man. He promises to come back with Shere Khan’s hide. Dawn is breaking as he leaves. This is so good. He’s found his true identity. He is ascending to a highter place. He is back where he belongs.

He dashes the pot on the ground and sparks fly everywhere. He dips a branch into the fire and they swings it around. He singes the tiger’s fur and shows everyone what a coward he is. Then he promises that the next time he comes to the Council he will be carrying the tiger’s hide.He warns all of them that if they dare touch Akela there will be payback. All but ten wolves scatter plus his friends and the four cubs.

He comes up with a plan to save THREE lives. He will back down from one-to-one combat (saving a young wolf’s life), will not fight anyone when it is his time to die if they will let Mowgli go (Mowgli), and will support the pack (saving his own life). The pack wants Mowgli dead and Bagheera says to bring it! Mowgli reveals his firepot and he rages with anger because he had no idea how much he was hated.

In his gentlest voice (the Father?), Bagheera reminds them of the bull’s sacrifice (Law). The pack snarls their excuse; Bagheera fiercely reminds them that it is a pledge. They have a choice to ascend to Mowgli’s level or descend to Shere Khan’s level. I wonder if wolves are higher in the great chain of being than tigers. Akela accuses them of following Shere Khan’s teaching and snatching children for food at night.

Shere Khan has probably mapped out his schemes and his ready to sway the crowd. He distracts them by focusing on the man cub. The pack says to give him back to the man village. Shere Khan suggests he will turn the village against them. He has troubled the pack for ten years!!! In the fullness of time! Akela warns them Mowglis has eaten and slept with the pack. He has broken no Law. BOOM

Adelaide is now the Dead Wolf, and he no longer leads the pack. Shere Khan starts speaking, Mowgli objects and quotes the Law, and the fickle mob says a lot of different things. Akela has led for 12 seasons. He accuses them of setting him up with an untried buck and admits his failure. He cites the Law and demands a one-on-one combat. Nobody is brave enough to fight him. I see Mowgli as a Christ figure.
