The movie "The Jungle Book" has the song "I want to be like you". This relates to the reading because it talks about the monkey who is seen as inferior than the human boy. In this metaphor, the orangutan are the elitist of Argentina, and the human boy is seen as the Europeans and Americans. This can also be seen as the monkey will never be the human, no matter how much he wants to be exactly like him because he is a monkey and that will never change. Just like the Argentineans, no matter how hard they try, they will never be exactly like the United States of America, or like Europe. This is because they are totally different people, so what may have worked in Europe or the Americas, may not exactly work for the people of Argentina because of the different circumstances they are under.
