Theme Of Tikki Maurii

Rikki-tikki recognizes an almost hidden snake caused by it’s similar color of the ground that he hides upon. Dust snakes have as deadly of a bite as cobras and their small size comes as an advantage, allowing them to turn unexpectedly in any direction. The battle between the mongoose and snake is what begins the trust of Teddy’s father, and makes Rikki-tikki a savior in the family. This scene also leads to the death of the two other snakes, Nag and Nagaina by giving Rikki-tikki the confidence to battle the other snakes. Which allows the critters to feel safe at home.

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.

The story Rikki-tikki-tavi by Rudyard Kipling is about the rivalry between Rikki, a small mongoose and Nag and Nagaina, two king cobras. A giant wave flushes Rikki out from his warm, cozy den and leaves him on the river bank near Teddy’s family’s garden. Rikki is taken in and cared for, by Teddy’s family. While exploring the garden he confronts two king cobras Nag and Nagaina. If Rikki does not kill the snakes, the garden creatures will fall prey to the cobras! This exciting story also became a motion picture movie. The story and the movie are similar in plot but contain some notable differences, including where Rikki finds Teddy in the bath and that Nagaina waits for one of

Rikki Tikki is a brave character in this story. The text states,”That bite paralyzed Karait, and Rikki-tikki was just going to eat him up from the tail, after the custom of his family at dinner, when he remembered that a full meal makes a slow mongoose, and if he wanted all his strength and quickness ready, he must keep himself thin.”) (para #34). This quote shows that Rikki-Tikki-Tavi cares for the family that saved him and is willing to risk his life for them. Rikki-Tikki is a very caring animal that wants to repay that family by protecting them. Also,

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

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.

Rikki Tikki is a fearless character in this story. For example in paragraphs fifty five and fifty six it states “Now, when Karait was killed, the big man had a stick. said Nag He may have that stick still, but when he comes in to bathe in the morning, he will not have a stick (para. 55).“If I don’t break his back at the first jump,” said Rikki, “he can still fight; and if he fights—O Rikki!”(para. 56). This text shows that Rikki Tikki is brave because he was risking his life to kill one gruesome snake. This

Then, Rikki Tikki killed Nag by himself, and Nagaina gets mad and tries to go and kill Teddy and his parents. The next day Darzee sings a song about how Rikki killed Nag. Later,Rikki smashes Nagaina’s eggs but, one. Darzee tells him that Nagaina is going to kill the family. He runs to find her as she was getting ready to strike at Teddy. He threatens Nagaina to fight for her last egg. Nagaina fights Rikki Tikki and they rumble into a hole. Everything's still and Darzee thinks that Rikki Tikki is dead. She sings his “death” song. At the end of the song Rikki comes out of the hole happy and triumphant.

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

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.

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

The only animal that Nag and Nagaina killed is Darzee’s child because he fell down. This is telling us that Nag and Nagaina is not truculent killers like what majority thinks. You can’t really blame Nag and Nagaina for this since it is caused by abominable parenting from Darzee not because of Nag and Nagaina being a killer. This shows that Rikki-Tikki killed no killer or villain but he just murdered a whole snake family. Moreover, in the survival game, there is always a loser and a winner.

RIKKI-TIKKI-TAVI We all know how Rikki saved Teddy from all the snakes but there is something more than just saving Teddy Rikki has saved him cause he loves Teddy but why?This related to the theme because it says that rikki did almost the impossible to save Teddy. The theme of the fictional story Rikki-tikki-tavi by Rudyard Kipling is nothing is impossible if you put your mind to it. Rikki is a mongoose who is not afraid to fight this what makes him the main character in this story Rikki was usually restless he could scratch where he pleased with any of his legs front or back. This demonstrates my thesis because Rikki fought by himself three mean snakes who wanted to kill teddy but he never gave up until he killed each and everyone of those snakes.
