Read this excerpt from The Jungle Book by Rudyard
Kipling.
What does the sensory language in the line, "But he
had a voice as soft as wild honey dripping from a tree"
show the readers about Bagheera?
A black shadow dropped down into the circle. It was
Bagheera, the Black Panther, inky black all over, but
with the panther markings showing up in certain lights
like the pattern of watered silk. Everybody knew
Bagheera, and nobody cared to cross his path; for he
was as cunning as Tabaqui, as bold as the wild buffalo,
and as reckless as the wounded elephant. But he had a
voice as soft as wild honey dripping from a tree, and a
skin softer than down.
O He can charm others into agreeing or doing things
for him when he speaks.
He is quite smart and can be very deceptive when he
wants to be.
He is feared by many of the other animals in the
jungle, including the wolves.
He can behave very courageously but also lose
control.
