Rikkki-Tikki: Comparing The Book And The Movie
Bravery should be your choice, not a bravado. Rikki-Tikki is a wonderfully told story of a weasel at war with two cobras. The story has also been produced as a movie. There are many similarities and differences between the book and the movie. The story and the book of Rikki-Tikki are similar in plot and setting, in characters, and in quotes.
The book and the movie have similar plot lines and settings. The book’s plot line is as follows: Rikki-Tikki was discovered by the family, taken in and fed, fought and met Nag and Nagaina, killed Nag, smashed all the eggs but one, and killed Nagaina and the remaining egg (Kipling). The book’s plot is very similar, without a single difference in the major plot line. The setting in the book is “the big bungalow in Segowlee cantonment”

The characters said the similar, if not the same, thing in the book as in the movie. Rikki-Tikki said that he would bite Chuchundra if he didn’t tell him what he wanted to know know in the movie and in the book (Movie). Darzee’s wife said, “‘The boy in the house threw a stone at me and broke it.’” (Kipling 152). The narrations were similar, if not the same, in both the book and the movie. The narrator had said that, “‘It is the hardest thing in the world to frighten a mongoose, because he is eaten up from nose to tail with curiosity’” in both the book and the movie (Kipling 144). The narrator talked about how the war happened in the beginning of the story and of Darzee, the tailor bird, and Chuchundra, the muskrat, at the beginning of both the movie and the book (Kipling).
The book and the movie are similar in many ways, especially the plot, the characters, and what the characters say. The similarities outnumber the differences, especially since the differences are so few and do not have much in common. The similarities are many and encompass much of the movie and the book. More movies should be similar to their corresponding book as this set

    As you can see there are many differences in the “Where the Red Fern Grows” book and movie. Note that in the book he has three sisters instead of two unlike the movie and when you look on the cover of the book his dogs where different colors while in the movie there where both red also the book mentions the legend at the beginning instead in the middle of the story. Another difference is that in the book the pickup never shows up at the house but in the movie it does.

Like how the title is the same also like the cover the boy is blonde and the whole family had a discussion about him having a dog. Mostly things were different than the book like how…

    The difference of the theme in the movie and the book. Nag was nice to ask Rikki for his cobras in a good way (Book). There are alot of happiness at the end of the movie when all the bird started singing of the death of Nag and Nagaina.

There are three main themes similarities in the book and the movie (Rikki-tikki-tavi).…

    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…
