Tikki Voluntary
As Mario Puzo once said, “The strength of a family, like the strength of an army, is in its loyalty to each other.” In the story Rikki Tikki Tavi, Rikki was loyal to his new family because they gained his trust by caring for him. This was only possible because the family was loyal to him and did not just leave him there to die or go away. The theme of Rikki Tikki Tavi is loyalty can make you do dangerous things for the people you care about.

This piece of personification demonstrates the theme because it proves that if someone cares about someone, they will face dangerous situations for the sake of their loved one. Furthermore, another example of personification would be when Nagaina had stopped what she was doing and yelled at Rikki Tikki to give her her egg back (para 91) Thus, this is an example of personification because Nagaina is ordering Rikki to give her the egg back whereas animals can not actually order others around. This piece of personification proves the theme because Nagaina only turned around to protect her egg from Rikki Tikki which means that the only reason she turned around was because she cared for her egg enough to forget about taking revenge. In conclusion, Rudyard Kipling uses the form of figurative language called personification to justify that if a person cares about someone, they will do everything they can to protect that person from any
