Compare means “similar.” Contrast means “different”. How are people and animals similar and different?
People and Animals
Similar
people
animals
In the JB, the author imagines animals as people. The
characters in the story act like humans.
Have you ever seen people act like animals? Was that good or
bad? It’s not too hard to see school as similar in ways to… a
jungle?!?
If you were an animal in a jungle, would you be a plant eater?
A meat eater? Would you live with a herd, or a band, or a big
extended family? Or would you be solitary? Would you be
perhaps a bird? Reptile? A fish? Where would your safe place
be? In a cave? The tops of a tree? In deep water?
How is school like a jungle? Where are the safe places? Where
are the dangerous places?
Is there a Law of the School/Jungle? What is it? Or, what are
those laws? What’s the most important law?

The Lion and the Mouse...?
So… what human values are these
stories really about?
Today we start a very famous beast fable
about a boy adopted by wolves in India.

When you talk about a thing or animal as if it were human, you
are anthropomorphizing it.
In fact, we’d better start a new vocabulary page:
Open your notebooks to new page, head it:
