His dedication is shown on page 25, “ This gave him just one second's purchase, and he made the most of it. Then he was battered to and fro as a rat is shaken by a dog--to and fro on the floor, up and down, and around in great circles, but his eyes were red and he held on as the body cart-whipped over the floor, upsetting the tin dipper and the soap dish and the flesh brush, and banged against the tin side of the bath.” The way Rikki-tikki-tavi attacks the black cobra resembles how dedicated he is to saving the British family, and the rest of the animals that live in the garden. His dedication to saving himself and his family lead him to think about what happens when he lets go of the snake’s neck for a second.

In the short story “Rikki-Tikki-Tavi,” by Rudyard Kipling, it shows the human characteristics of a mongoose, Rikki, as being valiant and intelligent, and it also shows how a snake, Nagaina, is clever and intelligent. The theme of this story is about overcoming your fear to protect your family. First, Rikki-Tikki-Tavi shows the human characteristics as being valiant and intelligent . for example, Rikki says “Well, as his tail began to fluff up again, “marks or no marks, do you think it is right for you to eat fledglings out of a nest?” This shows that Rikki is not afraid to challenge a snake.
