In the Disney film adaptation of The Jungle Book, King Louie is the leader of the orangutans who tries to convince Mowgli to teach him how to make fire. Louie is lighthearted, fun-loving and happy, and lives in a palace made from ancient ruins. When he hears about Mowgli and his desire to remain in the jungle, he views at as an opportunity to learn about fire and sends monkeys to kidnap him.


Louie sings the song "I Wanna be like You" to Mowgli, expressing his desire to be a human and learn the secret of"Man's Red Flower." He promises to help Mowgli stay in the jungle in exchange for fire, but Mowgli doesn't understand. Louie keeps asking until he is distracted by a female orangutan, which turns out to be Baloo in disguise. Baloo and Bagheera use the distraction to rescue Mowgli. In the resulting chase, a  group of Louie's monkey subjects damages his palace, and he is left behind trying to repair the damage. This is his last appearance in the film.

How can I analyze Moon and Six Pence by Somerset Maugham?

In "Moon and Sixpence," loosely based on the life of Paul Gaugin, Maugham presents a study of the tension between the "civilized" life of 19th century Europe, and the lead character's desire to throw off the shackles of bourgeois life. Charles Strickland is a middle-aged English stockbroker with a wife and family. By abandoning his domestic life, Strickland commits what many in European society would consider a gross betrayal of one of the foundations of...
