Theme is the truth or central idea of a story that reveals life. The theme of “Rikki-Tikki-Tavi” by Rudyard Kipling is good triumphs over evil. The reason why the theme is good triumphs over evil is because Rikki-tikki was the protagonist trying to protect his family and the rest of the garden, while Nag along with Nagaina were the antagonist of this story trying to kill the family and others in the garden. As a result, Rikki-tikki defeated both Nag and Nagaina. Some might think the theme is accepting a challenge leads to a positive result. Although some of this may be true, because Rikki-tikki accepted the challenge to protect the garden and his family, and ended up succeeding,…

F. Scott Fitzgerald shows many weakening points in the idea of the American Dream using the book The Great Gatsby through the topics of American being a land of bounty and beauty, the belief in progress and optimism, and triumph of an individual. He disproves the idea of America being a beautiful land with unlimited opportunities by showing the reader the hardships of the people living in the Valley of Ashes. Fitzgerald denies the belief of progress and that everything eventually getting…
Every story has a theme, or a central idea. The theme of the book,“Rikki-Tikki-Tavi” by Rudyard Kipling, is “Good triumphs over evil.” In this case, Rikki-Tikki-Tavi, who represents good, defeats the cobras, who represent evil. Rikki, the mongoose, and the garden animals triumphed over Karait, a venomous, yet small, snake, and Nag and Nagaina, the king cobras. Another possible theme of this short story is “Knowledge can help us prepare for the future.” I am certain I can prove this inaccurate.…
odd ways and reflect on the people that have “new money” and “old money” which will result from the American Dream. Symbolically people that are from West Egg are people that recently achieved the American Dream and citizens from East Egg are people that are have received money from past generations that were originally (symbolically) a West Egger. Gatsby is great example of a West Egger; he was once poor but has now achieved the American Dream and has lots of “new money”. Due to the fact that…

I can understand why some people…
Frequently the American Dream is advertised as work hard to get wealth and a good life, but It shows the hollowness of the American dream and how money and materialism drives everyone. Fitzgerald displays the darker side of the American Dream. The by-product of the industrial age, specifically the coal ash left from coal-burning factories. The valley of ashes in Gatsby lies between the rich refuge of the Eggs and the busy excitement of Manhattan, signifying the human misery. Think of the Wilsons…
Theme is a message about the whole story that you get from the text. Rudyard Kipling, the creator, gives many examples to why good triumphs over evil is the theme for this fable “Rikki-Tikki-Tavi.” Rikki proves that he is the pleasing character in the story because he kills snakes to protect and save his family’s life. While Nagania, Nag, and Karait kill everything just to be dominate. I can see why people might think the theme is love triumphs over all, but I can prove that it’s not with…
In the assertion of how this implies that Carraway does not match with the traditional point of view for men, is that the character is living on the poorer side of the Eggs since his job pays him an insufficient amount of salary, and lives in a small house. While, according to patriarchy perception, men are supposed to be the individuals who are paid more than women. This would all point out that instead of Nick show signs of masculinity based on his gender role, he is presenting the role that a…
