Which two themes are expressed in this excerpt?

Read the excerpt from Jungle Book: Mowgli's Brothers.
Akela the Lone Wolf lay by the side of his rock as a sign
that the leadership of the Pack was open, and Shere
Khan with his following of scrap-fed wolves walked to
and fro openly, being flattered. Bagheera lay close to
Mowgli, and the fire-pot was between Mowgli's knees.
When they were all gathered together, Shere Khan
began to speak - a thing he would never have dared to
do when Akela was in his prime.
"He has no right," whispered Bagheera. "Say so. He is a
dog's son. He will be frightened."
Mowgli sprang to his feet. "Free People," he cried, "does
Shere Khan lead the Pack? What has a tiger to do with
our leadership?"
"Seeing that the leadership is yet open, and being asked
to speak - " Shere Khan began.
O It is flattering to be followed and admired.
Quiet people often have deep thoughts.
O Public speaking is a difficult skill.
Strong leadership is a privilege.
O Rules are important to keep order.
Strong leadership is a privilege.
O Rules are important to keep order.

I think it would be:

Rules are important to keep order and

Strong leadership is a privilege.

Step-by-step explanation:

Shere Khan is breaking the rules by speaking at the meeting of the wolf pack, where he has no right to speak. He is also planning to take leadership of the pack, which he has not earned.
