A little mongoose named Rikki-tikki-tavi (Rikki) gets washed up into a bungalow garden by a flood. A little boy named Teddy finds him in the garden with his mother and they keep him. They feed him, and take care of him like their on child. One day while in the garden Rikki meets Darzee, while they are talking Nag and Nagaina tried to sneak up and kill Rikki, he would have died if Darzee’s wife hadn’t warned him. Another time a little brown snake, Karait, was going to bite Teddy, but Rikki killed him. Later on, Nag tried to sneak inside the house and kill the family, he decided he was

As there are various similarities, there are differences as well. One being that in the book Rikki-tikki-tavi and Nag duel when they initially meet with the help of Nagaina(Book). This scene helps build up the rivalry of the snakes and Rikki-tikki. The scene provides a simpler way to see why Nag and Nagaina dislike the mongoose, along with other lines. “When the house is emptied of people, he (Rikki-tikki) will have to go away and the garden will be ours again.” (Kipling 150) Nag and Nagaina want power. Before Rikki-tikki was found and taken to live in the bungalow, the snakes had the animals bowing down to them. In the movie there was no duel and the understanding of the rivalry is gone. Rikki-tikki and the snakes hold a lousy relation, the snakes try to kill his family in order to get rid of him. Without the image of the creatures hostility the snakes

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.

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

Many say that no movie can ever compare to a book, especially when the book concerned is a classic. Rudyard Kipling’s Rikki-Tikki-Tavi is an interesting short story concerning a mongoose rescued by an English family living in India. The mongoose, Rikki-Tikki-Tavi, protects the family that saved his life from two cobras, Nag and Nagaina, that are terrorizing the garden surrounding the bungalow. Both the book and movie revolve around this struggle between mongoose and cobra, but there are certain details that can change the way the story is seen.

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

Nagaina in “Rikki-TIkki-Tavi” by Rudyard Kipling is a story about a mongoose named Rikki-Tikki-Tavi. This story is about Rikki facing his worst enemies, Nag and Nagaina. Nag and Nagaina are cobras. Nagaina is one of the baddest cobras Rikki has ever faced, and when Nagaina threatens his family things get crazy! Nagaina is very evil, is a killer and she is a unpredictable!

Angry as he was, Rikki-Tikki was very frightened when he saw the size of the big cobra...then he jumped…[and] braced his back against the bulge of the red earthenware to hold down the head”(Kipling 68-69). This proves that Rikki-Tikki was brave enough to at least try to fight Nag and try to kill him, which he did. Then, Rikki-Tikki tried completing the task by killing Nagaina, but, “he went down with her [into the snake hole]-and very few mongooses, however wise and old they may be, care to follow a cobra into its hole”(Kipling 73). In the quote, Rikki-Tikki tried to follow Nagaina but ended up going into the snake hole with her, but he still got rid of her in the snake hole. Rikki-Tikki ended up learning that bravery and determination will help you reach your goals.

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

The first similarity between the movie and the book is the characters and what they do in it. The snakes are the first people that are the same, especially Nag and Nagaina. They do the same strike, or at least try to strike, Rikki Tikki when they first saw him. The brave Rikki Tikki asks Darzee “But I am a stranger here, who is Nag?” Then Nag rises from the ground, then Nagaina tries to strike Tikki from behind but fails before Darzee’s wife warns him.(Kipling pg. 146) The second person that is the same is Darzee, or the singing bird. Darzee in both the book and the movie sang through everything even when Rikki Tikki had “died”. He even sang a song when they thought Rikki had died, “So he sang a very mournful song that he made up on the spur of 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.

One of the few differences in the text is how Karait is shown as. In the movie, Karait looks like a wimpy that just wants attention. But in the story, Karait is labeled as “the dusty brown snakeling that lies for choice on the dusty earth; and his bite is as dangerous as the cobra's. (Kipling 147-148). In the movie, Karait looks like a worm. But as described in the text, Karait seems just like a small snake compared to the Cobras.

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.

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

The resolution is the movie and the resolution in the story “Rikki-Tikki-Tavi” are very similar and only slightly different. In the book, the resolution is that the family is very grateful for Rikki-Tikki because he saved the whole family's lives and that Rikki-Tikki will always keep the garden safe. The story says,”Rikki-tikki had a right to be
