    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…

    Summary Of The Nacirema

    The Nacirema Study and the Priorities of the Modern American When a person visits a museum or watches a documentary to learn about an unfamiliar culture, particularly distant cultures, often the information has been gathered and studied by an anthropologist. As defined by Merriam-Webster, anthropology is the study of humankind, their culture and how they react with their environment (Anthropology, n.d.). In Horace Miner’s essay about the Nacirema people, he observes a culture who is on the extreme end of human behavior (Harvey & Allard, 2015, p. 14-17). The term Nacirema is used as a literary device so the reader can separate their common knowledge from this anthropological view of modern American culture. Specifically, Miner uses his essay to show how little of the day-to-day ritual of the average American has to do with how we perceive our culture, how much value is placed on the body and hygiene and highlights some stereotypes, prejudices and ethnocentric beliefs common to modern American culture.…

    Rikki Courage Theme

    The story says, “If you move, I strike, and if you do not move, I strike. Oh, foolish people, who killed my Nag!” (para 84). Nagaina, the wicked snake, in this quote, because she says no matter what, she’ll kill Teddy if his parents move or not move. She’s saying that she won’t hesitate on any move they make. Nagaina is like Rikki because she’s planning to kill Teddy’s family to get revenge for her love Nag. She’s willing to find her courage and get her things together just so she can feel better about her passing of her loved one. It also says, “Nagaina spun clear round, forgetting everything for the sake of the one egg (para 91). “Give me the egg, Rikki-tikki. Give me the last of my eggs, and I will go away and never come back,” she said, lowering her hood. (para 93). These quotes prove that Nagaina is desperate for the last egg because even though she planned to kill Teddy for revenge, she dropped her opportunity to get that egg back. Nagaina even tried to convince Rikki by saying she’ll never come back, even though she wanted to take the garden. Nagaina’s desperation is different from Rikki’s character traits because in the story there’s no proof about Rikki being desperate in any kind of way. Nagaina being desperate for her last egg means that she’s standing up for what she loves and had the courage to sacrifice all her plans of having the garden. This shows that Nagaina, the…
