Give Me The Egg Rudyard Kipling Analysis
Also, Nagaina will do the same since she is willing to leave her home forever for her last child to survive, “ give me the egg, Rikki-tikki. Give me the last of my eggs, and I will go away and never come back” ( Kipling paragraph 29). Even though she wanted to kill the family, Nagaina abandoned that plan for her egg. This proves that she would rather keep her family rather than hurting someone else’s. Rikki and Nagaina both demonstrated how they would put their family before anything else.

As a result, Rudyard Kipling creates an excellent story about a young mongoose and deadly snakes battling to death for the safety of their family. The author gives each character unique traits of a human.

    Rikki-Tavi: A Coming-Age Story

    If you recall in paragraph 25 killing a snake is a grown mongoose's business. This is his first step to growing up. Also if his mother fed him on snake, he would have natural eaten it. Now, since he had other snakes to fight, he didn't eat the snake. This shows how he has grown up. In paragraph 56 and 57, he is trying figure out when he should kill Nag. Paragraph 57 says, "'Now, if I kill him here, Nagaina will know; and if I fight him on the open floor, the odds are in his favor. What am I to do?' said Rikki-tikki-tavi." When Rikki-tikki attacked Karait he just attacked he didn't think about anything. That time he put himself at a bigger risk. This time he actually spent time to think. He considered his options and his surroundings. This shows that he has grown a little more. In paragraph 61 he kills Nag. In paragraph 104 he kills Nagaina. Paragraph 104 says, "...Rikki-tikki, covered with the dirt, dragged himself out of the hole leg by leg, licking his whiskers." He had just gone the rat-hole with his teeth in Nagaina. When he came back up, the garden found out that he killed Nagaina. When it says that he licking his whiskers, I can infer that he might have eaten…

    Nagaina In Tikki Tavi

    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…

    An Analysis of Lord of the Flies by William Golding

    Throughout The Lord of the Flies, the author shows how different Simon is from the rest of the savages on the island. He is much more innocent and pure than the others and has a religious demeanor. Light, very commonly a symbol of holiness and purity, is used quite often during Simon's "funeral". In the last four paragraphs of chapter nine, "A view to a death", Golding makes clear the use of light imagery to suggest the apotheosis of Simon.…

    Storytelling is a significant part of every cultural. Since the dawn of time human beings have passed down stories from generation to generation. Stories have many different purposes; perhaps the most notable is to preserve ethics and cultural traditions.

    The Jungle Book Comparison Essay

    Most people are familiar with Rudyard Kipling's “The Jungle Book” to some degree. There are those who have read the full text, those who have read excerpts, and those who have seen one of the various screen adaptations based on the work. At the very least people are familiar with the story of Mowgli, which is by far the most popular; it is also one that most people can recite with little to no thought: boy is found by wolves, boy is raised by wolves while hanging out with a panther and a bear, evil tiger tries to kill boy, boy goes to live in the village of men – simple, straightforward, it really is a story we've heard in many incarnations. Unfortunately, most people’s interpretation of the story is so influenced by the Disney treatment that the most popular adaptation gave it, that our understanding of the story is tainted.…
