Rikki Tikki Tavi was both in a book and a video, mostly similar, but a few items in the story changed it all. The book of Rikki Tikki firstly talked about the location. The description of the location was more descriptive than the video. Describing the landscape and location gave the book a better picture in your mind knowing what the setting was like. During the fight of the mongoose and the cobra the family was awakened by the racket the two animals were making. The father came out and shot the cobra dead unlike the in the video. The video shows the mongoose attacking the snake. The mongoose killed it himself, while the family was watching him.

The Mongoose was fed raw meat in the movie unlike the book, the mongoose being fed a banana. The description was a bit broad in the movie. The description of the setting, plot, objects, and other items were very plain. Unlike the story which involved highly detailed items in the story. At the beginning of the video the setting was broad also. During the snake attack the author described how the snake was shot dead by the father. The video shows the mongoose hiding. After he was ready he jumped and attacked the snake until it dies a few minutes after the fight. The video had a very different way of the story than the written version of Rikki Tikki Tavi. Rikki Tikki Tavi the book and video had several parts that were similar. Rikki Tikki also had many unsimilar parts in the story. Unlike the book the video had many undescriptive, and missing parts that the book did have, but they both showed a

Rusty reached into the cage to grab and hold a non-venomous yellowbelly water snake, which had been caught in the wild and identified by his biology teacher.

    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.

    The first difference between the movie and novel is directly at the beginning. While the novel tells us that there is a guest house where a few couples are staying, the movie shows a difference scene. In the movie, there are people sitting on the beach drinking. While drinking, the man notices a woman, named Chrissie, who he approaches. She then takes off running down the beach. The man follows after her, both yelling at each other and undressing as they run, and they arrive at the shore. The girl dives in and yells for the man to join her while she continues swimming. While he is still undressing, he passes out on the shore. This results in him being safe from what is about to occur. Still waiting on the man, Chrissie is attacked and killed by the shark. Now, in the novel, this scene appears to be much different. The man and Chrissie both walk out of a guest house and lay on the beach. Chrissie decides she wants to go for a swim, trying to tempt the man into going with her, but he refuses and falls asleep. She slowly wades out, calling one last time for the man to join her, who ignores due to the fact that he is asleep. While Chrissie is in the water, the shark attacks her and she is killed. This is where the next difference comes in.…

    Eric Rugara's "The Snake" uses kinetic prepositions to highlight the aliveness of the story by enhancing the father's excited movements, reflecting the dynamic mood felt by the characters at the end of the story. Frequent use of prepositions depict the spatial movement of the father in relation to the snake, contributing to "The moment, the emotion, the action and aliveness" (Rugara) appreciated by the family and readers. The mellowness of the tea drinking of the bystanders concurs with the use of static prepositions outlining the remoteness of the portrayed innocent snake slithering “on the gray wall, above the window and next to the door”. Whereas at the climax, as the father "leapt back" (Rugara) and "brought down the pole on the snake’s…

    The setting has a peaceful and calm effect on the reader. The event takes place in the desert after sunset; the writer describes the setting in a way where if you were in the desert on a cool evening you wouldn’t think that you would come upon any danger or threat to your life. The writer writes, “Light was thinning; the scrub’s dry savory odors were sweet on the cooler air. In this, the first pleasant moment for a walk after long blazing hours, I thought I was the only thing abroad.” The writer used a series of selection of detail and language to create an atmosphere that at first showed that the man was alone and relaxed until he came upon the snake.…

    A major difference between the short story and the film is the setting. In "The Birds", birds are attacking people all over the world. However, in The Birds the setting is only in one city. Having the birds in only one city attacking the people creates suspense because it makes the audience wonder why the birds are only in that one city and nowhere else. Also, in the short story,…
