1. Rikki-Tikki is grateful of Teddy’s family because his family revived him from almost dying.
2. Rikki-Tikkin destroys Nagania’s eggs because Rikki-Tikki doesn’t want their babies to be such like Nag and Nagania.
5.1 There are some clues that foreshadow Rikki-Tikki in ultimate victory. Firstly, one clue that foreshadows him is on page 87 line 305 it states, “Nag is dead-is-dead-is-dead!’ sang Darzee.” This is a clue that foreshadows Rikki-Tikki’s ultimate victory because Darzee is already celebrating in happiness. Secondly, another clue that leads Rikki-Tikki to victory is on page 91 line 415 it states, “Give me the eggs, Rikki-Tikki give me the last of my eggs and I will go away and never come back she said, lowering her head.” Right here it says that Nagania is ready to give up. Nagania wants her babies desperately. She will do anything for them like surrendering. In conclusion, these are some clues that foreshadow Rikki-Tikki to ultimate victory.
5.2 There are some details that lead me to believe that Rikki-Tikki might be defeated. Firstly, on page 91 line 433 it states, “Rikki-Tikki knew that he much catch her, or all the trouble would begin again.” This means that if she gets away Nagaina can have her babies defeat Rikki-Tikki and take over the garden. Finally, on page 86 line 267 it states, “If I don’t break his back on the first jump,’ said Rikki, ‘he can still fight; and if he fights-O Rikki!’ …A bite near the tail would only make Nag savage. ‘It must be the head,’ he said at last; ‘the head above the hood. And, when I am once there, I must not let go.” Right here it explains that Rikki-Tikki isn’t sure where to attack him. He has to kill him on his first strike or else Nag will still have a chance to defeat Rikki-Tikki. These made me nervous when he was thinking were to strike. In conclusion, these are some details that lead me to believe Rikki-Tikki to be defeated.
5.3 The two kinds of details help create suspense in many ways.
