Mowgli, from The Jungle Book, and Atalanta from The Story of Atalanta: The Fleet-Footed Huntress are excluded in various ways in throughout their stories. Mowgli isn't accepted into either the wolf pack or the human culture. Atlanta's strength is doubted because of her gender. The men in the story told her, that because she was a woman, she wasn't allowed to go hunting.
Mowgli has two conflicts, one of them is with a member of the wolf pack, and the other is with himself. Because he was too human the wolves did not want to accept him into the wolf pack. When he went to live with other humans like him, Mowgli wasn't accepted because he was too wolf-like. After that he was forced to live in the jungle with his wolf brothers because no one would include him in their societies. Mowgli is not the only one who has problems finding where he belongs, Atlanta also has these kind of problems.
Atlanta is not welcomed very kindly by other hunters because she is a woman. Atlanta was a fast runner, was strong and healthy, but the other hunters did not believe her because she wasn't a man. On a hunting trip for a wild boar, that was harassing the people of the village, the boar was killing the hunters one by one as they tried to run away. Atlanta saw what was happening and she wounded the boar so it wouldn't wound any more hunters. Even though she was a woman and wasn't welcomed as a regular hunter should be, she had more courage and strength than all the other hunters combined.
Even though they were not accepted, these characters persevered. Even though the humans and wolves wouldn't accept him Mowgli didn't give up trying to find a home, he went to live in the forest. Atlanta, like Mowgli, didn't give up even though other people put her down. Both these stories are alike and can be an example to all the people who doubt themselves. With a plan, perseverance, and a little effort a person can do just about anything they put their minds to. Mowgli wanted a home and he got one, and Atlanta wanted to hunt and she was allowed to hunt.
