4. next, consider this example: throughout the story, akela’s words and actions show him to be an honorable leader who upholds the law of the jungle as best he can. he also knows that the law of the jungle states that when he cannot bring down his buck, the other wolves must kill him and choose another leader. however, when the council meets and mowgli masters the wolves, the narrator says:
akela, the grim old wolf who had never asked for mercy in his life, gave one piteous look at mowgli…
is akela appealing to mowgli’s respect for the law or his sense of compassion? support your answer with evidence from the text.

Someone very very very is writing about this excerpt from the jungle book. "he is our brother in all but blood," akela went on; "and ye would kill him here. in truth, i have lived too long. some of ye are eaters of cattle, and of others i have heard that, under shere khan's teaching, ye go by dark night and snatch children from the villager's doorstep. therefore i know ye to be cowards, and it is to cowards i speak. it is certain that i must die, and my life is of no worth, or i would offer that in the man-cub's place. but for the sake of the honor of the pack,—a little matter that, by being without a leader, ye have forgotten,—i promise that if ye let the man-cub go to his own place, i will not, when my time comes to die, bare one tooth against ye. i will die without fighting. that will at least save the pack three lives. more i cannot do; but, if ye will, i can save ye the shame that comes of killing a brother against whom there is no fault—a brother spoken for and bought into the pack according to the law of the jungle.” jameson makes the claim "akela teaches the importance of following jungle law.” which detail best supports this claim? he congratulates the pack on following shere khan’s teachings and hunting in the village at night. he warns that, according to the law, it is shameful to kill another pack member who has done nothing wrong. he admits that his life is of no worth because he is old and offers to give his life for mowgli. he tells that pack that the law of the jungle is going to disappear if it is not obeyed.
