    When fighting with Nagaina, she went down to a hole “and she plunged into the rat hole where she and Nag used to live, his little white teeth were clenched on her tail and he went down with her and very few mongooses- however wise and old they maybe, care to go into the hole.” (27) This shows how brave Rikki-tikki was since none of the mongooses will ever go down, but he did because “Rikki-tikki knew he must catch her or all the trouble will begin again.” (26) Another time he showed bravery was when Nag was in the water jug he risked his life to jump in there and hold on. “Then he jumped. The head was lying a little clear from the water jar, under the curve of it; and as his teeth, Rikki braced his back against the bulge of the red earthenware to hold down the head. This gave him one second purchase, and he made the most of it. Then he was battered to and fro as a rat shaken by a dog…..” (22) He could of just let go,but he chose not to and wait into the humans killed Nag completely. This shows how brave he was.…

    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. When he came back up, the garden found out that he killed Nagaina. When it says that he licking his whiskers, I can infer that he might have eaten…

    The story says, “If you move, I strike, and if you do not move, I strike. Oh, foolish people, who killed my Nag!” (para 84). Nagaina, the wicked snake, in this quote, because she says no matter what, she’ll kill Teddy if his parents move or not move. She’s saying that she won’t hesitate on any move they make. Nagaina is like Rikki because she’s planning to kill Teddy’s family to get revenge for her love Nag. She’s willing to find her courage and get her things together just so she can feel better about her passing of her loved one. It also says, “Nagaina spun clear round, forgetting everything for the sake of the one egg (para 91). “Give me the egg, Rikki-tikki. Give me the last of my eggs, and I will go away and never come back,” she said, lowering her hood. (para 93). These quotes prove that Nagaina is desperate for the last egg because even though she planned to kill Teddy for revenge, she dropped her opportunity to get that egg back. Nagaina even tried to convince Rikki by saying she’ll never come back, even though she wanted to take the garden. Nagaina’s desperation is different from Rikki’s character traits because in the story there’s no proof about Rikki being desperate in any kind of way. Nagaina being desperate for her last egg means that she’s standing up for what she loves and had the courage to sacrifice all her plans of having the garden. This shows that Nagaina, the…
