Kipling is indeed unique and novel in terms of poetic style. He's one of a kind. You need to have an open mind to understand his views and concept of the world. I admit, I also learn from his style.
i think that Rudyard kipling is a cool guy and room 106 5th period rocks
I did not like Mr Kipling's protryal of india in some of his poems.
