“Rikk-tikki-tikki, the ivory-fanged, the hunter with eyeballs of flame!” sang Darzee.(Kipling 156) There is much to compare and contrast from the story Rikki-tikki-tavi by Rudyard Kipling. There is many similarities and differences in the characters, setting, and conflict for the book and the movie, Rikki-tikki-tavi. There is many similarities and differences in the characters. “They gave him a piece of raw meat.” (Kipling 144) In the book Teddy’s family gives Rikki raw meat. In the movie Teddy’s family gives Rikki bananas.(movie) “He was afraid for the minute;” (Kipling 146) In the book Rikki is only afraid for a minute. In the movie it shows Rikki being afraid for longer than a minute.(movie) “It is the hardest thing in the world to frighten a mongoose, because he is eaten up from nose to tail with curiosity.”(Kipling 144) in the movie it also shows Rikki being curious.(movie) In both the movie and the book, Rikki is curious when he first arrives to Teddy’s home. “Rikki-tikki felt his eyes growing red” (Kipling 147) In the movie Rikki’s eyes also turn red when he is angry.(movie) In both the book and the movie one of rikki’s characteristics is his eyes turning red whenever he is angry. Some of the similarities and differences when in Rikki’s characteristic is eating bananas instead of raw meat, being afraid in the movie but not being afraid in the story, being curious when he got to Teddy’s house, and his red eyes. There are many similarities and differences in the
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
The Secret of Roan Inish, a John Sayles movie, is a story of a young girl on a quest to find her lost little brother. The movie loosely parallels many fairy tales throughout the story, with three subjects being the strongest. Fiona, the main character, follows the theme of going on a quest to find someone or something important. Her little brother, Jamie, was raised in the wild without any human interaction, similar to Tarzan. Finally, a story of a “selkie” is told. A selkie is a mythical creature that takes seal form in water, and human form on land. This is very similar to mermaids, who have always been popular in fairy tales. The movie borrows themes from fairy tales throughout its telling of the story, leaning on three popular themes the most.
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.
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

Well, in the story Rikki-Tikki-Tavi, Rikki-Tikki is a brave character who is not afraid of anything when it comes to those he loves. The theme of the fictional story Rikki-tikki-tavi by Rudyard Kipling is that loving someone gives you the bravery to protect them.
Many people assume that the book and movie of the same story are always very similar, but they are incorrect. In my comparison of the short story Rikki-tikki-tavi by Rudyard Kipling and the movie of Rikki-tikki-tavi, I found them to be rather different. There were many minor differences, but the three main topics in the short story that clearly differentiate it from the movie are the setting, the character traits, and the use of humor.
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.
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
The plot in the movie and the book had some differences along the way. (Kipling 144) The story talks about how Rikki-Tikki-Tavi put his nose into the ink and burnt his nose on the father’s cigar, but these scenes were never mentioned in the movie. (Movie)(Kipling 144) In the movie, it shows how they find Rikki-Tikki-Tavi and they save him, then it shows how he goes to sleep with Teddy the boy but in the story, it has those two scenes reversed. (Kipling 144) According to the story it says that Rikki-Tikki-Tavi spent the whole day outside wandering around, although those scenes had never been played in the movie. (Kipling 144) In the story of Rikki-Tikki-Tavi it says “ Rikki-tikki liked
The characters in the book and the movie are a lot alike. Such as the main character, and the protagonist, Rikki-Tikki. Rikki-Tikki was the brave mongoose that killed Nag. In both the book and the movie Rikki-Tikki was known as the courageous, fearless and heroic mongoose. Rikki-Tikki was strong when he was face to face against the Cobras. In the text it states, “He was
American actor Anthony Mackie once said “There are a lot of limitations and stigmas that are placed on young actors, specifically young black actors.” You have probably seen black male actors play the leading role of a drug addict, drug dealer, abusive husband or a even a thief. Although they do get a chance to be displayed on the media, they more often than ever are represented or viewed as the antagonist. Why? Because they are set up according to certain limitations in which they must obey. The lack of accurate representation on black actors in the media today is the result of prejudice and racism occurring in society. Racism and prejudice which are demonstrated in the films directed by Spike Lee, Do the Right Thing and Jungle Fever.
One important similarity between these two stories has to do with the characters. In both fantasies, the antagonists (or villains) are animals. Nag and Nagaina were snakes in “Rikki-Tikki-Tavi” that tried to kill Rikki-Tikki-Tavi and take over the garden. In “Three Skeleton Key”, fierce, vengeful rats that came ashore, attacking the lighthouse crew, were the antagonists. Also, both Rikki-Tikki-Tavi and the Narrator had similar senses of responsibility. Rikki felt he was responsible for keeping the people who lived in the
The storyline does not change at all. In the book, the first problem that Rikki Tikki comes across is his home being flooded and being washed away. According to the book, it tells you, “One day, a high summer flood washed him out of the burrow where he lived with his father and mother…”(Kipling, 143) This shows that Rikki-Tikki-Tavi was washed out of his home and carried away by the flood. In the movie, there is a scene where he is being washed away from his burrow. (Kipling, 00:45-1:00)Another situation is that in the book, Rikki Tikki finds out Nagaina’s eggs are by the watermelon patch. So, he goes and kills all the eggs. The movie shows a scene where Rikki Tikki is destroying the eggs. Lastly, in the story it explains,”He held on savagely and stuck out his feet to act as brakes on the dark slope of the hot, moist earth.” (Kipling 155) In the movie it shows a scene where Rikki-Tikki-Tavi is holding onto Nagaina and trying to stop her by shoving his feet in the ground to slow them down. The storyline within the movie and book does not change one
