Information: - A protagonist is the main character in any story, such as a literary work or drama. - A feral child (also called "wild child "') is a human child who has lived isolated from human contact from a very young age where they have little or no experience of human care, behavior, or, crucially, of human language. Some feral children have been confined by people (usually their own parents), and in some cases this child abandonment was due to the parents rejection of a child's severe intellectual or physical impairment. Feral children may have experienced severe abuse or trauma before being abandoned or running away. Feral children are sometimes the subjects of folklore and legends, typically portrayed as having been raised by animals. - India, officially the Republic of India ("Bhrat Gaarjya"), is a country in South Asia. It is the seventh-largest country by area, the second-most populous country (with over 1.2 billion people), and the most populous democracy in the world. It is bounded by the Indian Ocean on the south, the Arabian Sea on the southwest, and the Bay of Bengal on the southeast. It shares land borders with Pakistan to the west; China, Nepal, and Bhutan to the northeast; and Myanmar (Burma) and Bangladesh to the east. In the Indian Ocean, India is in the vicinity of Sri Lanka and the Maldives. India's Andaman and Nicobar Islands share a maritime border with Thailand and Indonesia. Its capital is New Delhi; other metropolises include Mumbai, Kolkata, Chennai, Bangalore, Hyderabad and Ahmedabad. - The Second Jungle Book is a sequel to "The Jungle Book" by Rudyard Kipling. First published in 1895, it features five stories about Mowgli and three unrelated stories, all but one set in India, most of which Kipling wrote while living in Vermont. All of the stories were previously published in magazines in 1894-5, often under different titles. The original book is now worth $3.4 million. - The Jungle Book (1894) is a collection of stories by English author Rudyard Kipling. The stories are fables, using animals in an anthropomorphic manner to give moral lessons. A principal character is the boy or "man-cub" Mowgli, who is raised in the jungle by wolves. Other characters include Shere Khan the tiger and Baloo the bear. The book has been adapted many times for film and other media. - Bears are carnivoran mammals of the family Ursidae. Bears are classified as caniforms, or doglike carnivorans. Although only eight species of bears are extant, they are widespread, appearing in a wide variety of habitats throughout the Northern Hemisphere and partially in the Southern Hemisphere. Bears are found on the continents of North America, South America, Europe, and Asia. Common characteristics of modern bears include large bodies with stocky legs, long snouts, small rounded ears, shaggy hair, plantigrade paws with five nonretractile claws, and short tails. - A short story is a piece of prose fiction that can be read in one sitting. Emerging from earlier oral storytelling traditions in the 17th century, the short story has grown to encompass a body of work so diverse as to defy easy characterization. At its most prototypical the short story features a small cast of named characters, and focuses on a self-contained incident with the intent of evoking a "single effect" or mood. In doing so, short stories make use of plot, resonance, and other dynamic components to a far greater degree than is typical of an anecdote, yet to a far lesser degree than a novel. While the short story is largely distinct from the novel, authors of both generally draw from a common pool of literary techniques. - The Third Jungle Book by Pamela Jekel ( ISBN 1 - 879373 - 22 - X , 1992 ) , originally illustrated by Nancy Malick , is a collection of new stories about Mowgli , the feral child character , and his animal companions , created by Rudyard Kipling and featured in Kipling 's The Jungle Book ( 1894 ) and The Second Jungle Book ( 1895 ) . The stories are written in an accurate pastiche of Kipling 's style , although Jekel sometimes allows a modern American phrase to slip through . Jekel 's plotting also frequently includes references to animal behaviour and anatomy that were not a feature of Kipling 's original stories . Chronologically the stories begin some time after the first half of '' Mowgli 's Brothers '' when the infant Mowgli is being taught jungle law and customs , and end after the events of '' In the Rukh '' , when Mowgli is married and raising a child but still keeping in touch with his animal friends . Some of the stories are inspired by Kipling . '' Where the Elephants Dance '' is clearly based on Kipling 's '' Toomai of the Elephants '' , while '' The Mad Elephant of Mandla '' and '' Jacala , Tyrant of the Marsh '' are both based on single sentences in Kipling 's '' Red Dog '' in which Kipling mentions some of Mowgli 's adventures that he did not intend to write . - Shere Khan is a fictional character who appears in two of Rudyard Kipling's "Jungle Book" stories featuring Mowgli and their adaptations. The word "Shere" (or ""shir"") translates as "tiger" or "lion" in Persian, Urdu, and Punjabi, and "Khan" translates as "sovereign," "king", or "military leader", in a number of languages influenced by the Mongols, including Pashto. The name may have originated from the nickname of the Afghan warlord who once ruled in India, Sher Shah Suri. - Baloo ("Bhl", "bear") is a main fictional character featured in Rudyard Kipling's "The Jungle Book" from 1894 and "The Second Jungle Book" from 1895. Baloo, a bear, is the strict teacher of the cubs of the Seeonee wolf pack. His most challenging pupil is the "man-cub" Mowgli. Baloo and Bagheera, a panther, save Mowgli from Shere Khan the tiger and endeavor to teach Mowgli the Law of the Jungle in many of "The Jungle Book" stories. - Joseph Rudyard Kipling (, ; 30 December 1865 18 January 1936) was an English journalist, short-story writer, poet, and novelist. - Vermont is a state in the New England region of the northeast United States.
