In “Rikki-Tikki-Tavi”, Nagaina turned out to be very desperate for the survival of her eggs. During the last scenes of the story, when Rikki-tikki was about to destroy Nagaina’s last egg to lure her away from Teddy, she forgot about every one of her goals just for her last egg and was willing to do anything for it. Nagaina even claimed that she would leave the garden forever and never come back, just for the sake of her egg, which was proven when she says,“Give me the egg, Rikki-tikki. Give me the last of my egg, and I will go away and never come back,” on page 241. Nagaina was willing to lose all her power over the garden just for her one egg. If she could do this much for the life of one egg, did she not realize that it would be wrong for her to kill, Teddy, his father, his mother, and…

Considering the harsh environment of the arctic tundra, it is extraordinary that humans could survive and even thrive in that environment. People have been living in the arctic of Alaska of r thousands of years before the Ipiutak people took root in the area. The Norton Tradition, Choris, Denbigh Flint Complex, and Dorset survived and thrive in coastal Alaska. The harsh environment didn’t deter humans from occupying the area. The Ipiutak were one such people that occupied the northern costal part of Alaska, but who were they and where did they originate from. This has been a much discussed about topic between archaeologists. Helge Larsen and Froelich Rainey’s analysis of the excavation at Point Hope suggested that “As INTIMATED IN THE…
The post is a valuable insight and a great example of a worldview and how it affects people in their daily life. Even though other cultural and worldview perspectives may be different from the believer, it done not necessary imply that they are incorrect. David J. Hesselgrave in his commentary of the Zanaki people shows that other viewpoints may even be more expressive or “more personal than our own.” Often the new Christian learns or creates a new worldview and assessment of the world. Once someone truly understands the actual state of their sinfulness, truly repents, and accepts Christ as their personal Savior, they can change their outlook on life through the work of the Holy Spirit. The Apostle Peter encourages the believer to learn as…
The research article about the Nacirema culture focused on a heavily religious society. In which the indualives shape their whole lives around it. Most people in the culture have at least one shrine dedicated to their physical health. It’s custom for all of the household members to pray to the shrine at least once a day. Praying is a secluded activity in the Nacirema culture and it is believed to reinforce the individual’s relationship with the divine. There is a major emphasis on the mouth and how it relates to a person’s social interaction and relationships. The mouth was so empathized that the Nacirema people visit the “Holy-mouth-man” once or twice a year, who inspects their mouths of any evil spirits using special instruments. The ancient traditions of the Nacirema culture seems to have influenced western culture.…

Nastassya's dishonor at Totsky's hands leads to (roll around on the ground) in self-blame and sets in movement her habit/desire for self-destruction. She is willing to give up her own life to cause pain to her offender. At the end of Part I, Ptitsyn draws the example of a Japanese custom of committing hara-kiri in front of one's law-breakers. In fact, this is exactly Nastassya Filippovna's (the study of thinking and behavior). She is willing to ruin her life--by running away with Rogozhin--in order to prove that she is a shameless woman and that her hot and steamy past is Totsky's fault. In the end, she even willingly goes to her death, which she knows she will find in Rogozhin. Nastassya cannot overcome her spite and extreme anger. Although…
Oroonoko is a short work of prose fiction by Aphra Behn (1640–1689), published in 1688, concerning the love of its hero, an enslaved African inSurinam in the 1660s, and the author's own experiences in the new South American colony. Behn worked for Charles II as a spy during the outset of the Second Dutch War, ending up destitute when she returned to England, and even spending time in a debtors' prison, because Charles failed to pay her properly, or at all. She turned her hand to writing in order to survive, with remarkable success. She wrote poetry that sold well, and had a number of plays staged, which established her fame in her own lifetime. In the 1670s, only John Dryden had plays staged more often than Behn. She began to write extended narrative prose toward the end of her career. Published less than a year before she died, Oroonoko is one of the earliest English novels. Interest in it has increased since the 1970s, critics arguing that Behn is the foremother of British women writers, and that Oroonoko is a crucial text in the history of the novel.[1] -------------------------------------------------…
