The Gentlemen of the Jungle

The way that the man is treated by the animals seems to resemble the issues of prejudice in real life. An example of this prejudice is when the animals say that the man's ideas are backwards and they never let him speak at the trial. The members of the commission behave like politicians in that they help eachother get what they want, no matter the impact on others. Greed consumed the members of the commission and it ultimately lead them to fighting with one another for the best hut space. The commission is like a government that mistreats its people, in this case the man, and in the end the man becomes tired of being walked on so he revolts by destroying the cause of the greed and those who were corrupt, much like a society would overthrow a government.
