    How Does Rikki Tikley Show Courage

    Rikki Tikki is a courageous and inspiring character in this story. Rikki jumped on to nag back and fought him (para 58-59).The character trait is that Rikki is not afraid to battle. This helps my thesis because he fought Nag to save the family and that means he loves them and when he won he got courage when he beat Nag. However wise and old they may be, care to follow a cobra into its hole. The evidence demonstrates the character trait because he goes in the nest even when he knows that he could die, but he has courage.…

He has some help along the way but “Rikki did the real fighting” ( Rudyard Kipling, page 143).…

    Landscape In Alexander Lermontov's A Hero Of Our Time

    Space, Place, and Landscape Nineteenth century Russian literature is grounded in its attention to the national manifestations of life and nature.
