In “Rikki-tikki-tavi”, by Rudyard Kipling, the snakes, Nag and Nagaina struggle to kill the mongoose, Ricky-Ticky-Tavy. Ricky-Ticky-Tavy decides to kill the snakes and save the humans and the other animals in the garden. The narrator’s point of view in this story influences the reader’s interpretation of the conflict between Rikki-tikki-tavi and Nag by telling us what everybody is thinking; they know everybody's thoughts and feelings. For example, the narrator had a lot of dialogue to show what everybody was saying and thinking to themselves.
In "Ricky-Ticky-Tavi", the narrator tells some of the story in Ricky-Ticky-Tavy's point of view. This point of view lets me and everybody else's feelings about the conflict by seeing what's going on with Ricky-Ticky-Tavi and how he's feeling about the whole situation with the snakes and humans and all the other animals. This effects my feelings of the conflict in a big way. Without knowing what Ricky-Ticky-Tavi was thinking, I wouldn't know what he was going to do or how. I also wouldn't know what to think.

in Ricky-Ticky-Tavi's point of view helped my understanding of the conflict and not just that but everything else in the story a lot better. In "Ricky-Ticky-Tavi", the narrator tells some of the story in the other characters in the story's point of view; mostly in the snakes point of view but a little in all of the other characters point of view.
The author uses the point of view of the other characters in "Ricky-Ticky-Tavi" for the same reason he used Ricky-Ticky-Tavi's point of view; to show people what the other characters were thinking and feeling. Also to know what they were going to do. The author of this story used the other characters point of view and it made the story a lot easier to understand. Same as with Ricky-Ticky-Tavi, we wouldn't know what to think; especially with the snakes, which the story was told mostly in their point of view out of the other characters. They would just be doing things and we wouldn't know why! This is why the author of "Ricky-Ticky-Tavi" used the other characters point of
view. This story and conflict were very interesting. The narrator's point of view helped a lot and influenced my interpretation of the conflict. Rikki-tikki-tavi and the snakes conflict would of been very confusing but it wasn't! The snakes, Rikki-tikki-tavi, and all of the other animals in the story points of views were better and helpful.
I cannot get that song of the brave Rikki Tikki Tavi the mongoose out of my head. A mongoose is a furry creature from India who kills cobras or other types of snakes and if its eyes get red, the mongoose is mad. Also the mongoose is a curious creature It is strange how similar the book is in the movie. Some of these similarities are the conflicts, the resolution and the rising action.

The emotive language Lawson utilises conveys the protectiveness and fear the Drover’s wife experiences when faced with the knowledge that the snake is in the house with them. The love for the family can be seen in the text ‘The Drover’s Wife’ by Henry Lawson as the main character faces many challenges trying to keep her children
Over centuries, humankind has searched for the line where positive and negative influence over nature intersect. “The Rattler”, a tale of a man and a rattlesnake who cross paths in the desert, deals with this very question. The individual is at first cautious of the snake, thinking it best to leave the dangerous creature alone. But at the thought of the nearby neighbors, he takes it upon himself to kill it, and then continues on into the night. The author uses comparison, diction and personification in “The Rattler” to promote sympathy for both characters: the snake and the man.
As two people fight for their lives against dangerous cold blooded reptiles. When reading Two text you will need to know information about the characters, what the message is, and when, where, and the historical background of the text. Have you ever thought about how to stories compare but are not the same story. It is the author’s job to make sure at the end of the story you understand these main elements. For right now it will be my job to make sure you understand this more.
“The Rattler” is a story that is written by Donald Beattie that expresses a survival and protective tone to persuade readers to side with the man that killed the snake in order to protect a larger community of animals and humans. Beattie is presenting the story to a large group of people in attempt to persuade them. Beattie uses imagery, simile, and pathos to develop a root of persuasion and convince the audience to reanalyze the man’s actions.
The effect the reader perceives in the passage of Rattler is attained from the usage of the author¡¯s imagery. The author describes the pre-action of the battle between the man and the snake as a ¡°furious signal, quite sportingly warning [the man] that [he] had made an unprovoked attack, attempted to take [the snake¡¯s] life... ¡± The warning signal is portrayed in order to reveal the significance of both the man¡¯s and the snake¡¯s value of life. The author sets an image of how one of their lives must end in order to keep the world in peace. In addition, the author describes how ¡°there was blood in [snake¡¯s] mouth and poison dripping from his fangs; it was all a nasty sight, pitiful now that it was done.¡± This bloody image of snake¡¯s impending death shows the significance of the man¡¯s acceptance toward the snake. In a sense, the reader can interpret the man¡¯s sympathy toward the snake because of the possibility that he should have let him go instead of killing him.
William Faulkner overwhelms his audience with the visual perceptions that the characters experience, making the reader feel utterly attached to nature and using imagery how a human out of despair can make accusations. "If I jump off the porch I will be where the fish was, and it all cut up into a not-fish now. I can hear the bed and her face and them and I can...
This style of point of view adds a new feeling while reading the novel. The reader will be looking through the eyes of someone shadowing Jennifer Government and seeing it in one style, but then on the next page, the reader will see what's happening through the eyes of someone shadowing Billy NRA. Even though the narrator may change, the story will progress. You can compare the technique to a basketball game. One moment, the person is in the audience watching the game. The next moment the person is a player on the bench. Then the person becomes a player on the court taking shots. After that, the person changes into a referee calling the game. At the end, the person becomes the coach and calls the shots of the game.
Distinctive voices offer many different types of perspectives of the world. This is expressed through the texts “Lady feeding the cats” and “Wombat" written by Douglas Stewart and“Shawshank redemption” also written by Frank Darabont. These notions are applied through exploration of humanity and connections between humanity and the nature. The unique interaction of the world offers us a better understanding of these perceptions.
This book is appropriate for three-to-five years of age children as the story is very engaging and children are exposed to the Aboriginal culture. The book is illustrated in oil paint in impressionism and the whole story is in double-page illustration, which shows the landscape of Cape York and Aboriginal people. The pictures use vibrant colours including forest green and many shades of brown and the kangaroos and the snake people have red eyes. Educators can guide children to discuss the information in the image which can help children to understand how these details support meaning construction (Spence, 2004). For example, educators can tell children that the kangaroos and snake people who have red eyes reveal that they are evil, so that children can understand that adding more details in both writing and speaking can provide more information for audiences and the explicit language is very effective in constructing the meaning. Educators can use toy snakes and toy kangaroos and other materials to retell the story with children or make a small display that shows part of the
Having Christopher narrating the book in first person is important because it is easier for the reader to understand his written account of the murder of Mr. and Mrs. Sheers dog (Wellington); A step by step investigation is projected and shown to the reader when narrated in first person.
The story “The Grasshopper and the Bell Cricket”, written by Yasunari Kawabata, is a children’s fiction story that is written in a third person narrative point of view. The author, who sets himself as the narrator, is describing what he sees as he stumbles upon a group of young, neighborhood kids as they frolic along the bank of a stream near dusk time. He points out the extreme care that the children take in creating their lanterns, and he sees the passion and enthusiasm they have while apparently searching for bugs along the bank and in the bushes. As the story goes on, the author moves from a tone of describing and being literal, to a more serious tone that causes some serious thought. He seems to be attempting to convince the audience of something emotional.
Lawrence uses figurative language in order to present his ideas of societies expectations of a man. Lawrence changes the structure and style of “Snake” in order to highlight the struggles of the narrator. Specifically, when writing about the snake he uses repetitive and flowing words. He also uses traditional devices like alliteration, for example “and flickered his two-forked tongue from his lips.” The use of these technics gives the snake an almost human like feel that the reader can connect to. At the same time, Lawrence writes about the log used to hurt the snake in a different style creating such a contrast between the snake’s description and the log. The words describing the log are much different, “and threw it at the water trough with a clatter.” The changing styles helps emphasize the internal struggle the narrator is experiencing as he tries to figure out if he should do as society dictates and kill the snake like a man or do as he wishes and leave the snake in peace as his guest at the water
... Nature, including human beings, is `red in tooth and claw'; we are all `killers' in one way or another. Also, the fear which inhabits both human and snake (allowing us, generally, to avoid each other), and which acts as the catalyst for this poem, also precipitates retaliation. Instinct, it seems, won't be gainsaid by morality; as in war, our confrontation with Nature has its origins in some irrational `logic' of the soul. The intangibility of fear, as expressed in the imagery of the poem, is seen by the poet to spring from the same source as the snake, namely the earth - or, rather, what the earth symbolizes, our primitive past embedded in our subconsciouness. By revealing the kinship of feelings that permeates all Nature, Judith Wright universalises the experience of this poem.
