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 didn't know where Nagaina was and started to get mad at Darzee because he was singing and didn't want to stop. He got mad when Darzee never told him where Nagaina kept her eggs at and Rikki snapped back. When Rikki left to go bite the tops off of Nagaina's

Rikki Tikki Tavi is hero for many reasons in this story. One reason is Rudyard Kipling wrote “it must be the head,” he said at last; “the head above the hood. And, when I am once there, I must not let go” (Kipling 129). Throughout this scene in the story, Rikki was suffering in pain, attempting to kill Nag knowing he what could happen to him was pure torture for him but it

According to the story on page 64,after Teddy’s family revived him from the flood, the narrator states,”…every well-brought-up mongoose always hopes to be house mongoose someday…” This reveals that Rikki-Tikki was motivated to become part of the family because ,as a house mongoose, he would be able to protect his family from predators such as cobras. He could also repay Teddy’s family for taking him in. Later in the story, when the cobras Nag and Nagaina plotted to kill the family, Rikki-Tikki was scared, but he knew that he needed to protect the family. The text on page 68 states,” As angry as he was, Rikki-Tikki was very frightened as he saw the size of the big cobra.” This demonstrates that he was motivated by his feelings of loyalty to the family, that he willingly put himself in danger to protect

Between the two mediums, the conflicts between characters are comparable with minor variations. The main disagreement in the story and the movie is the rivalry between Rikki and Nag and Nagaina. Rikki’s and the cobra’s clash began as soon as Rikki went out to explore the garden. He met Darzee, the tailor bird, and his wife who was mourning the loss of one of their babies “because it had fallen out of the nest and Nag ate it.” (Kipling) Another dispute is between Rikki and Chuchundra about Chua’s comment “that Nag is everywhere.” (Kipling) A thrilling clash of rivals occurs when Rikki goes to the melon patch and smashes all of Nagaina’s eggs. Notwithstanding the similarities of the mediums, a difference materialize in how Rikki comes to face Karait. In the book it states “It gave him confidence in himself, and when Teddy came

Nagaina is the main villain in this story. She is very evil when she first tries to kill Rikki-Tikki in the garden. Then a little later in the story, she finds Rikki-Tikki’s owners/family and threatens to kill them! Rikki himself says “Now I have Nagaina to settle with, and she is worse the 5 Nags.” (24) Nag is her dreadful husband that also fights Rikki. Nagaina is very

Teddy and his family had Rikki for quite some time, and he was curious around the house. In the movie right before bed Teddy was taking a bath Rikki was climbing on the side of it and fell into the tub. This is a similarity of both the story and the movie. One difference is written in the story that “Rikki nearly drowned himself in the bathtub, put his nose into ink on a writing table, and burnt it on the end of the big man’s cigar.” (Kipling 144). The movie didn’t show any of this it hadn’t been shown. One night when the cobra couple nag and nagaina were talking outside of the house they were planning on killing the family so Rikki would go away and leave the

Rikki-Tikki-Tavi was one brave mongoose who had the courage to go up against the fiercest animals on the planet, Cobras. (Movie)(Kipling 143) The story took place in Segowlee Cantonment, India in a house’s garden where Darzy the bird and his wife, Chucundra the muskrat, and the deadly Cobras live. (Kipling 143) The Rikki-Tikki-Tavi was a mongoose who got washed away from his home and ended up with a new family. He would would end up coming across three snakes in the large garden and killing them. Cobras, are one of the most dangerous snakes in the world. You must be brave to fight a cobra if you are not you could be snatched up any moment. Nevertheless Rikki-Tikki-Tavi the book and the movie are the same story they have differences such as the Plot, characterization, and the conflict.

Muhammed Ali stated that “He who is not courageous enough to take risks in life will accomplish nothing in life.” It was gutsy of Rikki-Tikki to fight to fight the snakes Nag and Nagaina because they are one of the most deadly creatures in the Bungalow. There is a huge variety of similarities throughout the book and the movie such as the characters, setting and conflict.

Next, Rikki-tikki gets washed away by a flood near a bungalow. A young boy named Teddy finds him and takes him in a a family pet.The family thought that

Rikki Tikki should be proud of himself because on page 15, Rikki Tikki said I have never seen a snake before in his whole life. When Rikki Tikki seen Nag, he said to Rikki Tikki did not have time for that.Then Rikki Tikki and jumped on Nag and killed him.When Rikki Tikki killed Nag his eyes were red . On page 16 Rikki Tikki eyes got red again and he Nagaina that came out of their house and see Rikki Tikki. On page 21 Rikki Tikki and Nagina were getting ready to fight and when the Nagina look at Rikki Tikki, his eyes were red again and that's when Nagina got a little scared and then Rikki Tikki got the Nagina and went into a hole and killed him.On page 16 Rikki Tikki saw another snake, his name was Karait. Karait said I'm death with

To begin with, Rikki-Tikki-Tavi is a brave mongoose and will do anything to protect his family. For example, the author states, “Tricked! Tricked! Tricked! Rikk-tck-tck!” chuckled Rikki-tikki. “The boy is safe, and it was I—I—I—that caught Nag by the hood last night in the bathroom” (para 96). Rikki risked his life to distract Nagaina by beckoning her away

Because Rikki-tikki keeps trying to end the snakes, a muskrat warns him that he might be killed. Kipling is trying to suspense for the reader that there is a chance Rikki could die. To create the idea that Rikki will win the war with the snakes Kipling uses “At the bottom of his cold heart he was afraid”(Kipling 467). Nag the cobra may try to act like he will win, but he knows mongooses usually win. To add
