Bravery and putting others before yourself are the themes of “Rikki Tikki Tavi.” Rikki was a humble and selfless mongoose. His brave actions helped others in the garden. There are several situations in this story that proves this theme. Unlike many other characters a Rikki was brave. Darzee just hides from the snakes. Chuchundra hides during the day, and comes out at night to avoid danger. Rikki was new to the garden unlike some of the other animals. Rikki showed his bravery when he fought Krait to save teddy, even thought he was new to the garden. Rikki Tikki also puts other before himself. When he figured out that Nag was going to try to kill the father he knew he had to do something. He understood
Loyalty is the quality of being loyal to someone or something. In a bungalow located in Segowlee, cantonment a youthful mongoose named Rikki-tikki who was snatched out of his home would have to save a young boy Teddy and his family from deadly snakes. Rikki-tikki-tavi, written by Rudyard Kipling, and it’s movie, produced by Alexandra Snezhko-Blotskaya, have many similarities and differences. Rikki-tikki-tavi, the movie and the book are not the exact same.Some of the differences and similarities are that in Rikki-tikki-tavi the book, Rikki and Nag fight in their first meet, but in the movie there was no fight between them and in both the book and the movie Rikki-tikki meets Darzee and his wife, and Rikki-tikki and a dust snake fight. The
Rikki-tikki Tavi took place in India in the late 1800s. Rikki-tikki Tavi was a brave, little mongoose who killed copra’s and Karait a venomous snake and saved a family from the snakes. Darzee, the tail-bird, helped him, and Chuchundra, the musk-rat, who never came out into the middle gave him advice but Rikki did the real fighting. When Rikki-tikki was first trying to kill the copra he was scared, but then he remember that mongooses are known to fight and kill snakes. Rikki-tikki and the copras are natural enemies. Every time when Rikki-tikki would fight his eyes would turn red and fierce.
Rikki Tikki Tavi was a very brave soul, but he made some wrong decisions that made him act disrespectful. The snakes, Nag and Nagaina, caused a lot of disturbance that set Rikki off and made him act like he did. Rikki Tikki Tavi was a loyal upstanding character, but sometimes he acted in a very disrespectful manner. Rikki was a very disrespectful mongoose. Chuchundra, the musk-rat, was so scared to come out to the middle of the room because Rikki always threaten to bite him.
He almost kills Teddy, but Rikki Tikki at the last second gets into a skirmish with Karait and Rikki Tikki wins. There is a muskrat named Chuchundra that is scared Nag and Nagaina. He says to Rikki Tikki “Don't kill me.” (Kipling 149) Then Rikki Tikki explains that he wants to help Chuchundra be safe from Nag and Nagaina.
Rikki-Tikki-Tavi is a story about a young mongoose that is trying to conquer his fear and end two cobras that pillage around the family garden. The story starts off with Rikki-Tikki getting washed away from his family in a storm. He wakes up to a young boy and a man. They take him to their home and nourish him with food and warmth. Once he is all to health, he scouts around the property of the family. While Rikki-Tikki is looking around the garden, he hears two birds mourning in their nest. In the middle of the birds explaining to Rikki why they are mourning, a cobra named Nag shows up and threatens Rikki. Fear got struck onto Rikki, but he was able to manage some courage to stand up to Nag. Nag’s wife, Nagaina, shows up behind Rikki and tries
Rikki Tikki is a brave character in this story.For instance, it was Rikki Tikki vs. Nag and his wife, Nagania, and Rikki struck at Nagania “ He bit indeed…….and didn’t run away.” (para29). This proves that Rikki is brave because he bit Nagania and he wasn’t even afraid of Nagana biting or hurting him.Rikki’s character trait helps make the thesis brave because if he was afraid of everything and didn’t have any courage no one would put brave as their thesis. Also, Rikki’s character traits were found in this quote “Rikki-Tikki did not care to follow them, for he did not feel sure that he could manage two snakes at once.” This quote proves that Rikki is brave because he states that he can take on two snakes if it means protecting his family. This
The father then stated, "He'll do no such thing, Teddy's safer with that little beast than if he had a bloodhound to watch him.” (Rikki-Tikki-Tavi Vimeo). The mother character later goes on to say that Rikki has saved all of the families lives. In closing, the mother character in the book and movie was at first apprehensive of the wild creature, then in the end she was grateful of Rikki’s protection.
Rikki Tikki Tavi’s personality changed throughout the story. One moment he was very loyal and the next he was very disrespectful. Rikki’s mood and personality changes throughout the story that contradicts his loyalness and upstanding character. Rikki Tikki threatens to bite Chuchundra if he does not give him an answer fast. Rikki is very aggressive at this moment, he says, “Do you think snake killer kills muskrats?”
The smart, the brave, the handsome, Rikki-tikki-tavi! Rikki is a mongoose that single handedly killed two cobras, Nag and his wife, Nagaina. I read the story of Rikki-tikki-tavi and watched the movie of it too. While watching the movie I noticed somethings that were different and some things that were the same between the movie and story. The first thing different that I noticed was during the movie we had the perspective of Rikki in part of the movie and in the story the narrator always gave us what Rikki was thinking it never gave us his actual perspective.
Rikki-Tikki, a tame mongoose from the story,” Rikki-Tikki-Tavi, used to be a wild mongoose that lived with his mother and father. One day a gigantic flood washed away the young wild mongoose to a large bungalow. The people who lived there harbored him in the bungalow and warmed him by a large fire. After Rikki-Tikki gained their trust he protected the house like a true mongoose with all his strength and the people even saved his life multiple times.
If they chase off all the animals they will surely die. Selfishly, she puts Nag into the skirmishes because she is apprehensive and doesn’t want any damage to come to her. Then come out and tell me, and we will hunt for Rikki-tikki together.” Nagaina spoke. As this demonstrates Nagaina wanting Nag to kill all of the people to make sure that it is safe for her to come out of hiding
The antagonist was being selfish when she made Nag go an try to kill Rikki-tikki, she was thinking of herself and herself only. In this short story it states that Nagaina left Nag when it was her plan she told Nag to kill Rikki-tikki and his family. For determined to harm others the story clearly states that Nagaina. “ You warned Rikki-tikki, I would have to kill him.” I thought that was a skilled quote of her showing the reader that Nagaina was determined to kill Rikki-tikki.
Rikki wants to fight back so he ca protect his family. Rikki's feelings change a lot during the story. First He is okay with Nag, but at the end he is disappointed at nag for trying to kill him and his family. The author use this point of view so that you can understand the
One reason is because, he does not have feelings for his “saviors”. The humans that have saved him with the bungalow have a feeling of gratitude to Rikki but he does not have any for them. As Rudyard Kipling states “‘... I suppose he's so tame because we've been kind to him.’
Rikki was found by a river soaking wet by Teddy, a boy who wanted to have a funeral for him, and his family. In both the story and movie he was describe cold and wet; also he was found in the dirt. The family decided to take him home to warm him up and get him something to eat. During the movie the big man, Teddy’s dad, picked Rikki up at the river holding him with his nose at the man’s finger tips, and Rikki’s tail passed his wrist. While in the story it is stated “the big man picked him up between finger and thumb.”( Kipling pg.143) there is a difference between the story and the movie. While the movie isn’t an exact replica there still are a lot of similarities. When the family decided to bring Rikki-Tikki in to dry the movie and story have a difference. The story said that “They wrapped him in cotton, and warmed him over a little fire.” (Kipling 143). Although the movie was close it showed Rikki in the cotton but he wasn’t placed over a small fire. Similarities are plentiful in the movie, but there are some differences to look up to.
