Rikki tikki tavi 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 first similarity is the conflict of the story. The conflict of this story is when the cobras, Nag and Nagaina, are trying to get rid of Rikki, the mongoose, the boy, Ted, and his parents. In the book the cobras said, “When there are no people in the Bungalow,did we have any mongoose in the garden? So long as the Bungalow is empty, we …show more content…
In the book Rikki crushes all but one egg of Nagaina’s to bribe Nagaina into staying away from the kid. Rikki said, “What’sthe price for a snake’s egg? For a young cobra? For a king cobra? For the last-the very last of the brood? The ants are eating all the others by the melon bed.” Also in the book the snake flees with the egg trying to outrun Rikki. In the book it states, “He had forgotten about the egg. It lay on the veranda and Nagaina came nearer and nearer to it, til at last, while Rikki-Tikki was drawing breath, She caught it in her mouth, turned to the veranda steps, and flew like an arrow down the path.” Also in the movie the mongoose booked it right into the snake hole where many mongooses never come out. (movie) The movie shows “Rikki chasing Nagaia down a hole where the snake lived.” Also in the movie Rikki killed Nagaina, and whatever cobra ever dared to try to threaten him or the family. In conclusion that is how the Resolution is related to the book and the …show more content…
In the book Rikki is found by a little boy named Ted when Rikki washed up shore. In the book it states that, “One day, a high summer flood washed him out of the burrow where he lived with his father and mother and carried him kicking and clucking down a roadside ditch. He found a little wisp of grass floating there and clung to it til he lost his senses. When he revived, he was lying in the hot sun.” Also in the book Ted’s mother took him inside. The mother said “Let’s take him and dry him, perhaps he isn’t really dead.” Also in the movie Rikki met the cobra, Nag, who had eaten one of Darzee’s eggs. (movie) In the movie, it shows “Rikki finds Darzee who is crying up in her nest cowering in fear of Nag.” In the movie he runs all around the house to see things because mongooses are curious creatures. That is the other reason the book and the movie are
The theme the two stories share is about growing up. In the story "Brothers are the Same" Temas had to attempt to slay a lion to prove to the Masai tride that he is an adult.He had to show that he wa...
The similarities are prolific in their presence in certain parts of the novel, the very context of both stories shows similarities, both are dealing with an oppressed factor that is set free by an outsider who teaches and challenges the system in which the oppressed are caught.
The snake’s calm demeanor when they first meet, his confidence and power, and his gruesome death help evoke sympathy in the reader. The reader’s first impression of the snake is that “he held his ground in calm watchfulness.” His stance was tense, but not threatening, as “his head was not drawn back to strike.” He does not intend to attack without being provoked; he
Rikki Tikki Tavi - SNAP! A cobra’s neck snaps from being bitten by a mongoose. A mongoose is a fearsome creature that hunts and kills snakes in Asia. Rikki Tikki is a fictional Mongoose from a short story by Rudyard Kipling, and a movie that is based on the book. He was picked up and cared for by a family in India.
The story explains that mongooses are curious, so Rikki spent his time exploring everything in the house. When exploring outside, Rikki meets a bird that explains to him that one of his babies fell out of the nest and was eaten by Nag, the cobra. That night, Rikki overhears the cobras’ plans to kill the family, so that Rikki would leave and they could take over the garden. Nag sleeps in the bathroom overnight, planning to kill Teddy’s dad in the morning; Rikki attacks him, causing the father to wake up and shoot Nag, saving the family. Rikki also helps save the family by distracting Nag’s widow, Nagaina, as she was about to attack, eventually killing her as well. The family was very thankful, as he had saved all of their lives.
In the resolution, Rikki- Tikki kills Nag in the bathroom during the night, and prepares himself for the now enraged Nagaina. With the thought in his mind that Nagaina would be guarding her eggs behind the melon bed, Darzee’s wife creates a diversion, and Rikki smashes all but one egg. “Rikki had found the cobra’s nest and had crushed, all but one, of the deadly eggs” (Ross 19:04). Kipling states that, “Teddy and his mother and father were there at early breakfast, but Rikki-tikki saw that they were not eating anything. They sat stone still, and their faces were white. Nagaina was coiled up on the matting by Teddy's chair, within easy striking distance of Teddy's bare leg, and she was swaying to and fro, singing a song of triumph.” and continues with, ‘"Son of the big man that killed Nag," she hissed, "stay still. I am not ready yet. Wait a little. Keep very still, all you three! If you move, I strike, and if you do not move, I strike. Oh, foolish people, who killed my Nag!"’ (Kipling 154). Although, be that as it may, the song of triumph that the movie says is “Son of the man that killed Nag, if you move, I strike, and if you do not move, I strike! Oh, foolish people!” (Ross 19:30). So, to wrap up, both of the mediums claim that Rikki- Tikki- Tavi smashed all of the eggs except one, and that Nagaina is at the veranda, wound up and ready to kill. The song of triumph that the wicked snake sings however, is not a
J.K. Rowling is a famous British novelist best known as the creator of the Harry Potter series. After being rejected many times Rowling finally was called by Editor Barry Cunninghan who gave her the opportunity of publishing Harry Potter’s book number one. In this paper I would be discussing the similarities and differences between the book and the film of Harry Potter’s book number three.
Things that are similar about the two novels and how both of their dreams were crushed are both are groups of people who have these dreams and each finds or meets something that can help their dreams come true, the pearl and Candy. Furthermore, the realization of their dreams coming to an end is, in both books, caused by the death of someone who is a part of the dream, Coyotito and Lennie.
“The vast amount of birds flocking above towns and outlying districts, causing destruction and damage to even attacking individuals.” This is a quote from the short story “The Birds,” by Daphne du Maurier. That quote is also representing the plot, which remains the same with both the story and movie, by Alfred Hitchcock. “The Birds” is presented by a short story written by author Daphne du Maurier, and a movie directed and filmed by Alfred Hitchcock. They both have the conflict of numerous birds attacking their town. Although the conflict is the same, there are several, if not more pieces that are different between the short story and the film. Minding the differences between the two, I think the short story gives off a better experience to the audience that the movie, since it is in more of an isolated setting than the movie, and has more of an apocalyptic surrounding.
The symbols, themes, and overall mood from each of these stories were great influences on the overall similarities between each story. The meanings of all of the items they held, their transition into adult hood, and the analyzing of their pasts in hindsight makes each story very similar to one another and thus gives reason for comparison. This journey that each of these children went on was a last taste of innocence before hitting the harsh true world of adulthood and the journeys that they went on will also be attributed with the great memories they provided for each of these characters, much like in real life.
Another similarity in the book and movie is that the characters have to go against their morals in order to decide what to do in certain situations. An example of this in the book is when Skip realises he would have to trespass and steal in order for him to keep himself and his friends alive. Or in...
Does being the antagonist always mean you are evil? In AELA this year, we read a short story called Rikki-Tikki-Tavi, by Rudyard Kipling. In the story, the main character, a mongoose named Rikki-Tikki-Tavi, is washed out of his home, and taken in by a family of people. In the backyard, there are two snakes, Nag, and his wife Nagaina. Rikki has to fight the snakes in order to ‘save’ himself, and the other creatures in the backyard. That is, however, only Rikki’s side of the story. This essay is about Nagaina, and how she may be more than just an evil antagonist. In the story, Nagaina is not only sly, but also intelligent and caring. Almost everything Nagaina did was for her children, still eggs at the time.
They both have a theme of racism and the author gave out what it was like for the black community in the past on having to go threw what they did everyday. In these novels, the characters and the society are alike however, unfortunately they have different endings.
The novel “The Hobbit”, or “There and back Again”, written by J.R.R. Tolkien tells the tale of a hobbit named Bilbo Baggins. This story has been adapted into three films, as well, by the filmmaker and screenwriter Peter Jackson. Throughout Jackson’s “The Hobbit” trilogy, he encompassed little of the most important components of the Tolkien’s literary edition. There were many differences between the two adaptations of the story. For instance, Jackson gave major roles to a variety of characters in the movies that never showed up or were only briefly mentioned in the book, characterized Bilbo and the dwarves much differently than in the book, and told the story through the use of a framed narrative. Overall, between the literary edition and filmic
similarities that are inevitably beyond mere coincidence. One could surmise that both of these stories might have a basis in common historical occurrence. However, despite the fact that both of these works discuss a common topic, the portrayal of this event is quite different. Like identical twins raised in different cultures, the expressions of these works are products of their environment.
