    Rudyard Kipling's story Rikki-Tikki-Tavi from his novel The Jungle Book has become a major hit ever since it was published. When Chuck Jones' cartoon film Rikki-Tikki-Tavi was released, it became even more popular than the book. But this didn't last long for the movie soon lost its entertainment value due to being too old-fashioned. The book retained its entertainment value because people still read old books and consider them to be classics. People who read the book will be bitterly disappointed by the movie as they would expect a digital adaption to be modern. Really being old-fashioned is no reason to discredit the movie…

    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.…

    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.
