    When fighting with Nagaina, she went down to a hole “and she plunged into the rat hole where she and Nag used to live, his little white teeth were clenched on her tail and he went down with her and very few mongooses- however wise and old they maybe, care to go into the hole.” (27) This shows how brave Rikki-tikki was since none of the mongooses will ever go down, but he did because “Rikki-tikki knew he must catch her or all the trouble will begin again.” (26) Another time he showed bravery was when Nag was in the water jug he risked his life to jump in there and hold on. “Then he jumped. The head was lying a little clear from the water jar, under the curve of it; and as his teeth, Rikki braced his back against the bulge of the red earthenware to hold down the head. This gave him one second purchase, and he made the most of it. Then he was battered to and fro as a rat shaken by a dog…..” (22) He could of just let go,but he chose not to and wait into the humans killed Nag completely. This shows how brave he was.…

    In one case, Nagaina says, “Let us talk, You eat eggs. Why should not I eat birds?” (para 27). As a result Nag is acting like a mature adult in this sentence trying to compromise, why it is ok to eat birds. This shows anthropomorphism that Nag cares more about his hunger than Darzee's baby. For evidence, Rikki says to Nagaina, “Come and fight with me.”(para 92). Rikki Tikki is reckless and is showing a personification by asking Nagaina to fight with him. Rikki Tikki is courageous and is protecting his friends from Nagaina the vicious snake. In this story a lot of the animals have human characteristics who will put up a fight for their…

    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…

    Can’t you hear Rikki-tikki? Narrator: As Rikki-tikki listened in, he heard the faintest scratch-scratch in the world, -- a noise faint as that of a wasp walking on a window pane, --the dry scratch of a snake’s scales on brick-work.

Lord of the Flies by William Golding and Macbeth by William Shakespeare represent this quote as an agreeable one. Both literary works show many examples of people’s decisions in situations that they are not in control of.…

    The snake stared at the man in front of her, reminiscing about the times they had shared a big juicy pig together. Now he sat at a table, wearing something called a napkin, eating a teeny tiny dish called a steak and kidney pie with these tiny stabbing instruments called knorks and fives. Nagini really hated muggles. They had reduced her master and greatest friend to nothing more than a posh man who wears too many clothes. Nagini liked to think that he only wore all those fancy suits and used the knorks and fives because the other men did it.…
