Rikki Tikki Tavi is a strong hearted and loyal character. However, at times he was disrespectful to the other animals and the humans. Rikki could be an upstanding character, but did not demonstrate it at all times. Rikki Tikki Tavi’s first disrespectful encounter happened when he questioned Nag about eating Darzee’s baby bird. He didn't think think that it was right to eat a fledgling and he let Nag know that in the tone he talked to him in. It really wasn't his place to question what other animals ate, but he did it anyway. That attitude didn't win him any friends Rikki could have tried to create a friendship with the snakes (even though his business in life was to fight and eat snakes), but he did not. He chose to go after the cobras to …show more content…
Rikki overstayed his welcome at their house. He snooped around the house whenever he wanted like the time he talked to the muskrat in the living room at midnight. Rikki did whatever he wanted to do because he felt he was welcome to everything. After Rikki killed Nag, he knew he had to get Nagaina too. He didn't know where she had gone so he went to find Darzee. He then stated to taunt him from the minute he got there. He called to him, “Oh, you stupid tuft of feathers!” and then in anger also said, “Is this the time to sing?”. Darzee was only trying to praise Rikki, but he didn’t have any time for that. Rikki also said that he wanted to roll Darzee's’ babies out of his nest and told the bird that he didn't know what was really going on. Rikki was frustrated and took his anger out on his animal friend. Rikki finally acted back to normal when he was around the family and there were no more snakes. They praised him for his bravery and for being a good friend, but he never let that interfere with doing his job later on. Overall, Rikki Tikki was an upstanding character, even though he did show some disrespect to those around

In the book Rikki crushes all but one egg of Nagaina’s to bribe Nagaina into staying away from the kid. Rikki said, “What’sthe price for a snake’s egg? For a young cobra? For a king cobra? For the last-the very last of the brood? The ants are eating all the others by the melon bed.” Also in the book the snake flees with the egg trying to outrun Rikki. In the book it states, “He had forgotten about the egg. It lay on the veranda and Nagaina came nearer and nearer to it, til at last, while Rikki-Tikki was drawing breath, She caught it in her mouth, turned to the veranda steps, and flew like an arrow down the path.” Also in the movie the mongoose booked it right into the snake hole where many mongooses never come out. (movie) The movie shows “Rikki chasing Nagaia down a hole where the snake lived.” Also in the movie Rikki killed Nagaina, and whatever cobra ever dared to try to threaten him or the family. In conclusion that is how the Resolution is related to the book and the

Growing up he despised his two sisters because they teased him and he felt like he was treated differently than his sisters. For the rest of his life Randall would misperceive women.

This resulted in him spending the majority of his time in isolation, something orca whales are not used to. They are known for being social, emotional creatures. They spend their whole life in their pods and form very close bonds with each other. SeaWorld’s arrangement of whales is extremely unnatural because they put random, unrelated whales in a small area together. By doing this, they add to these animals’ frustrations of being in captivity. Years passed, and Tilikum became a part of the main show at SeaWorld. One night in 1999, a man snuck into the park, assumably to see the whales up close. He was found the next morning, draped across Tilikum’s back without any clothes. Among many other injuries, his genitals were ripped off and eaten by the massive whale. SeaWorld public relations released the easy story of a mentally unstable man wanting to have a one on one experience with a killer
Tilikum is sold to SeaWorld and all of the news reports regarding the death of his previous trainer are altered to reflect an error on the trainer’s part in order to ease the public’s conscience regarding the aggressive
The play “A Raisin in the Sun” by Lorraine Hansberry has many interesting characters. In my opinion, the most fascinating character is Ruth because of her many emotions and captivating personality. She goes through extreme emotions in the play such as happiness, sadness, anger, stress, and confusion. Ruth is very independent, firm, kind, witty, and loving.

The last trait for Rikki is risky this is how he shows it. When it was his last chance to finish Nagaina he “plunged into the rat hole where she and Nag used to live” (p.27). Rikki is now going to extensive lengths to help this family, he is taking serious risks that could potentially kill him. If he doesn't take the risk then Nagaina could come back to hurt the family. Rikki is risking his life to finish off Nagaina. Rikki is definitely showing how he is risky in this
The novel The Things They Carried by Tim O’Brien, and the novel Wonder by RJ Palacio both feature strong main characters who fight in wars, both literal, and metaphorical, these wars cause the characters to deal with hardship and grief at a young age. Many of the characters in The Things They Carry are related to the main character in Wonder, because of the way they try to hide their feelings from others. In both novels, there is a main character versus self conflict occurring. Although the novels share some similarities, they are actually quite different. The main character in The Things They Carried is a twenty-one year old man, Tim, who is drafted into the Vietnam War. The novel switches between present day Tim, and Tim’s time during
The soldiers who fought in the Vietnam War had a very shocking experience. In Tim O’Brien’s fictional novel The Things They Carried, he discusses about his own experience and the experiences of other American soldiers who fought in the Vietnam War. O’Brien, the author of this novel plays a significant role of both the character and author. He himself is a leading character who is a Vietnam veteran and expressing his story from the past as a narrator and by creating imaginary characters in his novel. O’ Brien, explains in his novel that “In any war story, but especially a true one, it's difficult to separate what happened from what seemed to happen. What seems to happen becomes its own happening and has to be told that way” (O’Brien 57). O’Brien’s
Rikki-tikki-tavi is a short story about a brave mongoose that was washed out of his home by a monsoon flood. He was then adapted by a kind human family that live in India, as a pet and as their protection against the two vicious cobra snakes. This story was first published in 1894 along with some other short stories. The short story was written by Rudyard Kipling's the same author from The Jungle Book. Soon in 1974 Chuck Jones constructed a short animation of Rikki-tikki-tavi. On the other hand, even though the short story version of Rikki-tikki-tavi was written and described well, the digital adaptation was able to create an easier way to understand the characters, plot and setting.
John Crowe, one of the hunters, is interviewed and tells the story of “the worst thing he’s ever done”. He appeals to the appalled emotions of the audience by admitting to the inhumane way they captured the baby whales. He uses an analogy when discussing the capturing, claiming it was like “kidnapping a kid from its mother”, which pulls at the heartstrings of any parent watching the film, establishing a sense of relatability. The film uses juxtaposition by examining how Crowe, a tough looking man, can be brought to tears by this horrific act. Blackfish then moves to discussing the reason behind Tilikum’s outburst by running a montage of news reports ambushing SeaWorld on the inhumane treatment of whales. The use of the rhetorical question “If you were in a bathtub for 25 years don’t you think you’d get a little irritated, aggravated, maybe a little psychotic?”, grabs the audience’s attention by creating a scenario they can understand. These events create an accusing tone that convinces the audience that SeaWorld is the antagonist of the film. Along with accusations from reporters, SeaWorld has fought many lawsuits against OSHA- the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, due to the way SeaWorld treats their animals. A court hearing is held regarding Tilikum’s behaviour due to pulled video footage of Tilikum lunging towards one of the trainers

Nukkin Ya isn’t afraid to pull any punches, it truly is a very ambious book. Nukkin Ya is gravely great. This is particularly identifiable, when it goes into deep, hugely relatable and rather complicated messages about teenage years, and sometimes feeling different among others at his school. That all revolve around symbolising and belonging and self-knowledge messages. It becomes that jarring, just how well it portrayed these messages. Among others, the tides of the ocean, makes for Symbolism in the setting, as evident by our protagonist moving around and eventually getting on with it. This makes a great use The Nukkin Ya novelization, is a very confidently constructed novel, which is enhanced by the use of devices, these being Symbolism and
