One day, while he was in the wild, he was caught up with the flood, that washed him away from his burrow, away from his mother and father. An English family found him on the road, and decided to see if he was still alive. They brought him to their bungalow, so he could rest and stay in a comfortable place.

When the most important things in life are in danger, people do their best to protect it with all of their might, and they’ll never stop until it’s safe. A story by Rudyard Kipling, Rikki-tikki-tavi is about a young mongoose, Rikki-tikki-tavi was carried away from his home land by a flood. He was washed ashore into the Segowlee cantonment, and was maintained by a British family, who lives in a bungalow.

The writer depicts how the snake exhibits calmness and nonviolence despite his wariness of the man to persuade the reader that the snake did not deserve his brutal death. When the snake spotted the man approaching, he “held his ground in calm watchfulness” and “was not even rattling yet.” The snake meant no harm; he was not threatening the man but was rather regarding him with a cautious curiosity. The snake’s passive nature aids in reassuring the reader that the snake is not necessarily a danger. Nevertheless, the man went to retrieve a hoe with the intention of killing the snake. The snake exerted more effort into avoiding conflict with the man to gain sympathy from the reader and to illustrate the man as a relentless assailant. When the man returned, the snake “shot into a dense bush” and “shook his fair but furious signal.” The snake was resorting to retreat tactics and peace proposals. Even in

Analyzing Kipling’s choice of animals is not difficult to comprehend which is “good” or “evil”. The protagonist, the mongoose Rikki-Tikki, and the antagonists are two cobras, Nag and Nagaina. The cobras are not difficult to identify as the evil of the two since “snakes are evil because they kill” (Fernando). Rikki-Tikki on the other hand is portrayed as the “good guy”. From the text, Kipling describes the mongoose “like a little cat and… he could fluff up his tail till it looked like a bottle-brush” (Kipling). A creature that is seemingly

Humans can be saved by animals that were being find by them somewhere and decided to take care of them. Precisely, some animals are braver and stronger than other dangerous animals. There are many ways that a book [stories] can be different, and relate to the movie. The book of a story is better than the movie because the book has more detail than the movie. In the story of Rikki- tikki-tavi, there are many similarities and differences between the Settling, characters and the Theme.

The human life is cherished on Earth and many great things may happen to someone during this time. Others may think that the best to come after the falling of their heartbeat and the rise of the soul to the heavens, where they are met by God, where if you lived the proper life before you may last for eternity with the holy spirits. Some also believe in the death and rebirth of the soul into another body. Also, people accept their time on Earth and agree with science and the absence of the afterlife. The book Spook written by Mary Roach, also the author of stiff takes an exploration into the afterlife. From a scientific way. This nonfiction book reveals the journey of Mary Roach discovers what really happens after our pulse is lost. For no one living truly knows the answer, there are strong believers in many ideas. “I heard a case where a husband said to his wife, ‘When I die, I will come back as your son, and I won’t take milk from your breast’ Sure enough the story goes, the husband died during the wife’s pregnancy, and the infant born some months later refused to breastfeed.” (33) This is just one example of the irony of death and rebirth. However it still factors just the coincidence that these events happened at this time and wasn’t fate.

I know this because in the book it says, “He rose his head up and spread his hood, it was Nag, the big black cobra, and he was five feet long tongue to tail,” in that citing of the text it shows how big and treacherous Nag is. Whereas it also talks about Karait, the tiny dust snakeling, “It was Karait , the dusty brown snakeling that lies from choice on the dusty earth; and his bite is as deadly as a cobra. But he is so small that no one thinks of him, so he does more harm to people.” In this part of the text it tells how small-scale Karait is, but it goes on to say that his bite is more dangerous than a cobra’s and that he does more harm to people. I do see how people could think that “don’t judge a book by its cover” is the theme, but I know the theme is “repay people that help

The children's literature that I read this week is called Rikki-Tikki-Tavi by Rudyard Kipling. As a young adult, I wouldn't be so glad to find an injured mongoose on my property and then bring it inside my house to care for it. But I think because it is a childrens story then the author would want to encourage children to be kind and caring towards animal. The family found the mongoose and after treating it, allowed it to stay with the young boy. I can understand why the mother was concerned about it being around Teddy in the house because it might hurt him, but, the father felt that Teddy would actually be safer with the mongoose around him. That i found really strange. I understand that mongoose can protect him from snakes but I didn't think

There was a wood that was very strange, filled with cat beasts, fire ants and maybe some half man half birds. This is a tale of these majestic animals, a tale of clans and war. Trouble was stirring in the lizard clan. There had been a call for war from the viper clan, a group of poisonous snakes with deadly venom. Maximus, the lizard leader had almost been killed when an assassination had been attempted in which ten guards had been killed.

The King Cobra has a giant cobra twisting around the track with its head in front of a cavern, and it's tail enwrapping the area where the train gets a second burst of speed. This minute-long beast starts off with a sudden inertia jerk (via our powerful hydraulic launch system), accelerating you through a turn. Then you go up a gargantuan hill at a constant speed, giving you a scenic view of the surrounding area. Then, you take a long drop into the gaping maw of the king cobra himself, free falling. The tumble ends suddenly, but then you take another drop, entering the stomach. You wind through the dark, perplexing labyrinth of his insides, twisting and turning. The path seems to lead out his back, but before you get
