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

    The book and movie are completely different. It 's like comparing apples and oranges. (I 'm assuming that you used the newest version with Guy Pierce). The biggest difference is probably the ommision of Haydee and Maximillien and Valentine (three of the main character) and the addition of Jacapo. Jacapo does is in the book, but he is never a large character.…

    Although coming up with similarities between the two proved to be a mind boggling task, I found several similarities. One of them is that both the book and the movie provide entertainment. Both give the person something to do, whether they’re bored, having the blues, or in a cuddly mood. Once the person gets all cozy and snug, takes out their book or flips open their laptop, they might notice that in both cases the plot of the story stays the…

    The book and the movie are the same in many areas, yet differ in many others. Overall, they have the same characters, themes and settings throughout the book and movie. They differ in the scenes and in certain parts of the dialog however. An example of one such difference is when Bob Ewell talks to Atticus after Tom Robinson’s first court date. The book never included this scene. There are also small details that were not taken to note in the movie. For instance, the night the three children went to the jail to find Atticus, Dill had spent the night with Jem and Scout, even though in the book Scout and Jem went to pick him up at his house. Another example is when they are at the jail- Atticus is…

    The similarities between the book and the movie were that the ten out of sixteen book characters were the same. The plot was also along the same lines and the endings matched up almost perfectly.

    I think that the text is better than the film, as the text has more nuts & bolts, along with a highlighted character personality shift. In contrast, the film takes away your required thought to imagine things (the fun part of reading stories) by spooning it to you, and is more homogenous and esoteric (simplistic &…
