The story of Rikki Tikki Tavi helps readers to understand the basis of good and evil. Rikki Tikki, a mongoose living with a family in India, forms a rivalry with a pair of snakes who terrorize their garden. Some readers believe our main character and “hero” of the story to be the bad guy, despite what the story makes him out to seem. Despite these beliefs, however, I believe that Rikki is inherently good, and that what he did was with good intention. As explained, these readers believe that Nag…

When they returned to a group of people, the baboon told them he had brought them gemsbok meat…

Culminating Writing I think rikki should be proud of himself because of his bravery, his wit, and his strength. He battled two Cobra’s, he distracted Nagaina, and he battled 3 snakes and never lost. I think he was brave because he single handedly fought two Cobra’s and destroyed the eggs. That is really hard for a young Mongoose like Rikki. Now that is real bravery. For an example in the story it says,”Rikki was plunged into the rat hole where Nag and her used to live.” on page 27.…
