How do these lines add to the rising action of the story? Read the following excerpt from The Jungle Book by
Rudyard Kipling.
Bagheera, who had eyes and ears everywhere, knew
something of this, and once or twice he told Mowgli in so
many words that Shere Khan would kill him some day;
and Mowgli would laugh and "I have the Pack
and I have thee; and Baloo, though he is so lazy, might
strike a blow or two for my sake. Why should I be
afraid?"
O They let the reader know that Mowgli is in danger.
They show how much Bagheera cares about Mowgli
O They introduce the reader to Mowgli and Bagheera.
O They show how Bagheera's feelings for Mowgli are
changing.
