Answer:

"The Gentlemen of the Jungle" is a satirical short story by Jomo Kenyatta that uses anthropomorphism to portray the animals in the jungle as human beings.

Explanation:

  • As a satirical short story, "The Gentlemen of the Jungle" depicts animals in the jungle as human beings using anthropomorphism in order to emphasize the imperial attitude of the jungle animals.
  • The elephant is portrayed in the story as the king of the jungle who demands obedience from all animals. Seeing how big and strong he is, he believes he deserves special treatment. As a selfish individual, he only thinks about his own wants and needs.
  • Zebras, giraffes, and buffalos are shown as subservient to the elephant's authority. Despite their fear and eagerness to please the elephant, they are shown to be afraid and eager to please. Their acceptance of the elephant's rule may not be in their best interests, but they accept it without question.
  • There is also a strong sense of rivalry between the different animal groups in the story. The buffalo, for instance, is portrayed as more important than the hyenas, who are lowly and insignificant. Imperialist attitudes among colonial powers have resulted in this hierarchy of cultures.

A key theme of "The Gentlemen of the Jungle" is satire. It exposes people in power's arrogance and self-centered attitude. Similar to the way colonial powers treated the peoples they colonized, the jungle animals' imperialist attitudes resulted in inequality and exploitation.
