After reading this excerpt, which claim can Brandon correctly make about the role of law in keeping
order?
Brandon has been asked to write about the theme
of law keeping order in society found in The Jungle
Book
He reads the following excerpt
The Law of the Jungle, which never orders anything
without a reason, forbids every beast to eat Man
except when he is killing to show his children how to
kill, and then he must hunt outside the hunting
grounds of his pack or tribe. The real reason for this
is that man killing means, sooner or later, the arrival
of white men on elephants, with guns, and hundreds
of brown men with guns and rockets and torches,
Then everybody in the jungle suffers. The reason
the beasts give among themselves is that Man is the
weakest and most defenseless of all living things
and it is unsportsmanlike to touch him. They say too
and it is true that man eaters become mangy,
inse their teeth
Animals do not kill Man because they are afraid
Animals do not kill Man because Manis
fearsome
Animals do not kill Man because it results in
danger
Animals do not kill Man because Man is dirty
