According to the story on page 64,after Teddy’s family revived him from the flood, the narrator states,”…every well-brought-up mongoose always hopes to be house mongoose someday…” This reveals that Rikki-Tikki was motivated to become part of the family because ,as a house mongoose, he would be able to protect his family from predators such as cobras.

In Rudyard Kipling’s story “Rikki-tikki-tavi” there are many quotes and much text evidence that characterizes Rikki-tikki as a very curious mongoose.

Rikki-Tikki-Tavi is a book about a mongoose doing something good for a family not expecting something in return, but he does get something in return. The theme of this book is do something nice for someone and you might get something in return.

Curiosity is the best word to describe a mongoose, this is because mongooses like to explore the world around them and mongoose are so curious that they rarely get frightened, as also explained in the Rikki-Tikki- Tavi story.

The children's literature that I read this week is called Rikki-Tikki-Tavi by Rudyard Kipling. As a young adult, I wouldn't be so glad to find an injured mongoose on my property and then bring it inside my house to care for it. But I think because it is a childrens story then the author would want to encourage children to be kind and caring towards animal. The family found the mongoose and after treating it, allowed it to stay with the young boy. I can understand why the mother was concerned about it being around Teddy in the house because it might hurt him, but, the father felt that Teddy would actually be safer with the mongoose around him. That i found really strange. I understand that mongoose can protect him from snakes but I didn't think

When you read a story,no matter if a short story or novel, you probably don't think that the stories you read are written similar or different from other stories by other authors. From the story to the writing style each piece of literature is its own independent piece. For example “The Lesson” By Toni Cade Bambara and “A Rose For Emily” By William Faulkner are two short stories written by two different authors.

If a reader is given two short stories, two stories that are seemingly different on the surface, to read and compare and contrast, a surprising amount of similarities and differences can be found. Unless they deal with the same subject matter, most short stories aren't really related, until some analysis is done. The stories "A&P," by John Updike, and "An Ounce of Cure," by Alice Munro, are very similar but very different.
