Folktale - Tarzan

For my Research Project 2, I have decided to research the movie/folktale/history of Tarzan. I have chosen this topic because I believe that it shows a very good moral on how to live one's life. It shows that in a society not your own where you are out of your comfort level, you can overcome the odds, and fit in to the group you were raised with and eventually become the leader and saver of the group. This is a great story of having nothing and being an outcast of society to becoming a very well known and powerful person, just through living life and working your way up the political ladder.


As you can see, the cover of this book shows a gorilla feeling the face of a young boy. This shows the connection that the two have even though they are opposites. In society some view gorillas to be mean and nasty to anyone not its own kind, and through this movie/book, the authors are able to show that not everything is as it seems and if you are kind and loving to everyone, you will go far in life.
