Bandar-log? Gang? Difference?
My opinion about the Bandar-log shows an abundance of disgust. The disgust of what a bully victim would might feel if they were Mowgli. The way they speak is obvious; the monkeys act like they run the place, and when I mean place I mean the Jungle Kingdom. Like on (Kipling , 39) in Kaa’s Hunting, a chapter from The Jungle Book, where they say, “There is no one in the jungle so wise and good and clever and strong and gentle as the Bandar-log.” This proves that the monkeys are over-confident and delusional thinking that they are the better men and women of the jungle’s society. These Kipling characters remind me of outlaws or crooks from the old west since they too have been thought of bullies. That is not all

Known and caused by the Bandar-log, on page 32, Rudyard Kipling, author of The Jungle Book is saying an action of higher self-esteem of what the monkeys do: “A fresh shower came down their heads and the two trotted away, taking Mowgli with them.” You saw it! You read it! The monkeys ambushed the three and took one captive. That sounds like they are also terrorists, right? Also, they do the most annoying and uncivilized actions. Kipling quotes this line from Baloo within The Jungle Book: “They have no law...…… They have no speech of their own, but use the stolen ones they overhear when they listen, and peep, and wait above the branches…... They are without leaders. They have no remembrance…..” (Kipling , )Picking up words you are not suppose to hear? An example is a cuss word which the Bandar-log and bullies think are “cool”. And do not the bullies follow the rules of society and the adult authority? No. Well, the Bandar-log think the same. And are not some, not all, bullies have no remembrance of school work whatsoever? Might as well say that the Bandar-log are goldfishes, even though goldfishes do not actually have a short remembrance span, instead of
The language has been used in writing before and many books use this type of language so they can build a connection to the real world. It is vital for teens especially in 8th grade and above to learn how important it is to stray away from these potentially hurtful words and how this type of language can set a certain tone to a
“Victims of bullies suffer the psychological consequences all the way until, middle age, with higher levels of depression, anxiety, and suicide, new research shows,” claimed Karen Kaplan. Her article can relate to a character named Yoda. “Yoda was lying across the bench on his stomach his wrists tied together with duct tape. His jeans and boxers had been yanked down. His butt cheeks had been taped together too,” quoted from page 69 by Anderson. Anderson wrote that part of the book to show that kids can be mean for no reason. Yoda didn’t deserve to be treated like that and the characters said it was “messing around”. Messing around won’t always be taken lightly. Karen Kaplan also stated “The immediate ill effects of bullying have been well documented with experts increasingly seeing it as a form of child abuse.” We don’t want our children to have mental illness. So encouraging kids to read fiction is school can lower these rates of bullying. Kids are our future and we don’t want our future bitter and
In the middle and late part of the nineteenth century, the West was a harsh and dangerous place to live. Bar fights and murders were being committed in every town. This was acceptable behavior however in those days. Men settled their problems face-to-face, and normally, the slower man ended up dead. Gunfighting in the West was started and carried on by a group of men known as the Clanton Gang. Old Man Clanton was the leader and founder of gunfighting, his sons carried some of his fights and continued with their own fights, and his last surviving son parted with gunfighting and started his own successful business.
The setting of the movie compared to the setting in the book makes Planet of the Apes one of the greatest satires. In the movie, the setting takes place on earth in the future where apes deny and are afraid of the past, whereas the setting in the book is on a different planet where apes are civilized and technologically advanced, and the humans were primitive creatures. The orangutans in the movie prevent what happened to the humans from happening to the apes. Orangutans, such as Zaius went to great work as destroying the cave where the evidence of the humans reigned is revealed and removing Landen’s memory. In the book civilization of humans on Earth is equal to and may even surpass the civilization of the apes on Sorror. The point of view in the book is through Ulysees’ mind. He is clam and patient. Taylor in the movie is an impatient angry man who is never satisfied and is outraged by the fact that apes are running the planet and have locked him up. In the movie Taylor is a misanthrope who is hot-tempered and not respectful to the apes. He calls them "Bloody Baboons!" Taylor left Earth to find a better place and ended up where he started. In the book, Ulysee is kind and respectful towards the apes, and he was granted citizenship to their civilization and begins to assign apes human features. Ulysee was granted citizenship because of the speech he made before them. He gave that speech with respect and loyalty towards the apes for acceptance. The tones in the boo...
According to the 2015 National Gang Report (NGR) from the National Gang Intelligence Center (NGIC) almost half of law enforcement juristictions across the United States reported a rise in street gang membership and street gang activitiy. My communitty is no exception.
Words such as ‘squaw’ and ‘savage’ are used commonly. These terms are derogatory but because these words lack the negative connotations that they deserve, the exposure to them omits the effects they might have to the people being described. Further, at one point in the novel, the encounters with the Native population are described as no more than a “monkey troop living deep in the forest.” The only positive characteristics given to the Native people is their non-human, animal like knowledge of the forest. The imagery of monkeys, or animal like behaviour, is all too familiar.
Kipling 30. Bagheera continues to elaborate on the Jungle People’s discontent towards the Bandar-Log, “They are very many, evil, dirty, shameless, and they desire, if they have any fixed desire, to be noticed by the Jungle People. But we do not notice them even when they throw nuts and filth on our heads” (Kipling 30). These quotes set the negative tone towards the monkey people, which is then promptly demonstrated by the monkeys kidnapping Mowgli.... ...
Bullies can be less dangerous than dictators because they tend to have a circle, with less than five people, that terrorize individuals at school or in a place of work. In dissimilarity, dictators, who can be supported by thousands of followers, rule countries. According to Behavior Advisor, “Some believe that bullies learn intimidation tactics from their parents/guardians, and are displaying behaviors that serve a function in their home environments” (“Bullying: Characteristics and Interventions”). Children watch a lot of adult activity and they have the drama embedded in their brain thinking it is tolerable to be dominant towards others.
The word gang has taken on many meanings throughout the years. Originally, the word was just used to express a group of people. You probably have heard someone talk about the local gang of boys or something of that sort. In older times, the word gang didn’t have such the negative tone that comes along with it today. As time has gone on, the word gang has grown to be a word that many worry about when they hear it. It seems a “gang” has evolved from just being a group of people to a group of people that associate in criminal or other antisocial purpose.
In this day and age most people are afraid to fight leading to more murders. I guess they are scared to fight because of what people will say about them. While the reality of the matter is that pack savagery has been diminishing, despite everything it exists. The Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention in the Department of Justice offers a National Youth Gang Survey. A portion of the outcomes from this study incorporate the accompanying pack measurements:100% of urban areas with a populace of more than 250,000 report posse movement.11% of provincial districts report pack action. 35% of rural districts report pack action.
A bully is someone who picks on other people, because they think it is the way to solve their problems. There are many types of bullying, there is physical, verbal, and mental. Children that are ages five through eleven began using verbal abuse and some even use physical abuse (Garrett 33). People estimated that one hundred and sixty thousand students miss school every day, and twenty-eight million missed school days per year, due to fear of being bullied (Garrett 36). Six million boys and four million girls are involved in fights from being bullied or bullying others (Garrett 33). Also, there is an estimate that over five hundred and twenty-five thousand people are bullies in America (Garrett 35). “Freshman, particularly are the victims of bullies in high school, especially if they are small and smart” (Garrett 31-32). Many people are bullied because of the way they look, or the way they act.“ Children from violent homes are three or four times more likely to become a bully” (Garrett 30). Some bullies may make fun of people because they were made fun of, beaten, or unwanted as they grew up. Most children become bullies to gain power (Verial). Bullies do what they do so they “feel competent, successful, to control someone else, to get some relief from their own feelings of powerlessness” (Garrett 72).When children grow up they may become bullies, because of the abusive environment they were raised in by their parents.
Most gangs are created to form a sense of power and control. All types of problems are presented to the youths of today growing up in major cities. Before being so eager to jump to conclusions, we must try to understand these problems, or we will never find a solution to them.
More than 160,000 students miss school every day, due to fear of attack or intimidation by other students, in other words getting bullied. Many of these students prefer to not say a thing. Ever wondered what it feels like? Majority of people know this occurs everywhere but just ignore it; not only that, some victims like to stay quiet due to fear. Based on case studies and statistics, there’s evidence to suggest that bullying can cause negative effects socially, emotionally, and physiologically on children.
Bullies appear in all shapes and sizes. There is not a specific physical trait that they all carry. Although, mentally and emotionally bullies might be extremely similar. Most of the time, there is some type of deep insecurity within the bully that causes them to push it onto another person. A child or teen that does bully others are known to also be engaged in other various harmful activities. They are more likely to use drugs or alcohol and tend to engage in sexual activities earlier than the norm. A bully can be someone that is popular and has a high social status. This causes them to want to establish dominance and a position above everyone else. For example, the movie Mean Girls deals with this type of conflict. A character in this movie named Regina George made a "Burn Book" to establish her dominance. This book showcased gossip and rumors about students and teachers who attended her high school. A bully could also be someone who is isolated and deals with a great amount of low self-esteem. This still cau...
...anxiety disorders when they grown up. Victims of playground bullies carry physiological scars into adulthood which can have a profound of their life. US study shows that impact of bullying is not something easily outgrown and forgotten, “70 per cent of women and a third of men have faked an orgasm to avoid hurting their parents feeling”. Bullying , which we tend to think of as a normal and not terrible part of childhood , have serious consequences children.
