Tarzan

             From what i have read in this book so far it makes it very hard for me
             to take any of the parts seriously. The reason for this is that certain parts in
             the novel are extremely over exaggerated. Because certain parts in the story
             are very hard to believe. Such as in the first three chapters, John and Alice
             encounter certain thing that wouldn't really happen.
             Also the fact that john uses so many things in the jungle to his
             advantage. Like in chapter three where he makes the house in the jungle like
             its some sort of actual in the city or something house. To me that sounds very

             is supposedly as strong as a thirty-year-old man. Then in chapter six where he
             is almost killed by the gorilla and suffers injuries that are impossible to
             survive from. But some how he survives by Kala licking his wounds until they
             are healthy. These are the reasons why I feel the story i
