Where Is Rikki Alike
Would you have risked your life to save a friend? Rikki thought to himself, “If I don’t break his back at the first jump he can still fight; and if he fights—O Rikki!” As we say “The most important things in life aren't things” - Anthony J. D’Angelo
Rikki Tikki is a brave character in this story. In one example, Rikki said to Nag, “Do you think it is right for you to eat fledglings out of a nest?”(para 25). Rikki Tikki stands up for his friend Darzee to let Nag know that he made a bad choice. Darzee now knows that Rikki is a good friend that will never let him down. For instance “Rikki-Tikki felt his eyes growing red and hot.” (para 31). This implies Rikki was furious at Nagaina because she dodged his bite and Rikki only got her tail. Rikki is brave when it comes to fighting an enemy, but his anger also comes out in a fight with a rival. Rikki Tikki is courageous and stands up for his friends.
Nagaina, another character in the story is vicious. “ Go in quietly, and remember that the big man who killed Karait is the first one to bite.”(para 49). Nagaina is fierce and wants to kill Rikki’s friends. Nagaina is also fierce when it comes to fighting, but Nagaina fights because she is …show more content…
evil. “Now I have Nagaina to settle with, and she will be worse than five Nags.” (para 60). Nagaina is a lot tougher to kill than Nag because Nagaina is strong and smart. Rikki is also smart about planning out things, but Rikki fights to protect his friends and family. Nagaina fights for evil, not for her own rights.
The author, Rudyard Kipling, uses personification in this story to help prove how animals would act if they could interact with each other.
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
rights.
The theme of the fictional story Rikki-tikki-tavi by Rudyard Kipling is you will have closer relationships with the people you love when you stand up for them and be courageous. People/Animals should fight for personal rights not for evil and sorrow. To create peace in this world people need to think of what they do or say before they let it out.
