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.

    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.

    Essay On The Victory Is Only A Matter Of Quickness Of Foot By Rikki

    "The victory is only a matter of quickness of eye and quickness of foot"(page 94). This is important because when Rikki was fighting he really wasn't worried about the killing just that he could see a destination and run. The quote adds a clear perspective to the piece of literature. It stood out to me because sometimes it is not all about winning, so if you are in something and finish you already won. It foreshadows that everything is not always about winning, it is just about finishing what you started. This quote reveals that when Rikki was fighting with Nag and Nagaina he still had doubt to fight a big cobra, however, as long as he got away he won."The victory is only a matter of quickness of eye and quickness of foot"(page 94). This is…
