Cobras Movie Comparison
A mongoose is an animal that has the instinct to hunt snakes. Cobras are of great stature out of most snakes due to the deadly venom they contain. These two animals are good characters for the story because they are natural foes. This can be helpful to the plot and relationship of the two animals in the story. Being a deadly animal the snake can easily become the villain. Some of the prey snakes have are birds and other mammals. There is also the compassion of the humans that help add to the ledig situations. We see these characters put to use in the story and the movie, with them both showing many similarities. The book of Rikki-tikki-tavi is a fictional story that had the classic good guy and bad guy story line. The overall problem the protagonist, Rikki-tikki, had to face was there were two evil snakes in the garden, who were harassing the bird Darzee. Heroic Rikki decided to take on the two snakes, but the …show more content…
The movie did a good job at staying to the main story idea/objective. The problem in the movie was that the main ccharacter was that there were two snakes that were harrassing a bird named Darzee, that of which he had to face head on. This was quite similar to the story or printed version. One of the only thing that were differrebt were that rrikki killed anyvif the snakes he was going against, because the father did help eand some of them. The climax was when Rikki killed Nag, without any help from the dad. This is a way that rikki was visually biult up more to be the hero. This also a turningn point in the short film and helps lead into the final battle with Nagina. The resolution is when Nagina dies. Her death helps the reader feel more at peace, which is one of the reasons to have a happy endding or resolution, because the threat of the snkes are no longer in the garden. The overall movie was very simular to the book and did a very good job at expressing the main piont of the

    Having now finished the story, i would like to say that my overall impression about the book hasn't changed much, it was still a dry and boring book with a plot line that didn't seem to climax much at all but instead had a steady pace with a litte bump here or there. Many will say that they hated the end of the book but I think the book was ended like that with a certain purpose in mind, to make us think what was this book about and why did it end like this?…

    The Book The Pearl is very different from the movie Because in the book Coyotito dies but in the movie he doesn’t . The only thing that is the same is that Kino throws the Pearl in the water and that he finds the great Pearl . Once kino does that he is happy that the Pearl will not bring him more bad luck because that was the only thing that the pearl gave him instead of money and happiness . The doctor help’s Coyotito ,but in the book he doesn’t help at all . To me the book is very different from the Movie but the book is better because the movie leaves out specific details in the book like coyotito dies in the book but not in the movie .…

    The Mongoose was fed raw meat in the movie unlike the book, the mongoose being fed a banana. The description was a bit broad in the movie. The description of the setting, plot, objects, and other items were very plain. Unlike the story which involved highly detailed items in the story. At the beginning of the video the setting was broad also. During the snake attack the author described how the snake was shot dead by the father. The video shows the mongoose hiding. After he was ready he jumped and attacked the snake until it dies a few minutes after the fight. The video had a very different way of the story than the written version of Rikki Tikki Tavi.…

    One thing that can have a difference is the characters from both the book and the movie. In the beginning of the book Teddy’s mother took Rikki-tikki inside the house after the monsoon. Where-as in the movie Teddy’s father took Rikki-tikki inside the house. “Here’s a dead mongoose. Let’s have a funeral.” “No”, said his mother; “let’s take him in and dry him. Perhaps he isn’t really dead.” (Rikki-tikki-tavi) These were two different characters doing different things in the book and the movie. A similarity is in the book and the movie the mother didn’t want Rikki to sleep with Teddy in fear that he might bite him. This is the same thing the same character said in bothe the book and the movie. The characters were all…

    I liked the movie better. I personally did not really like the ending of the book. A. Square got to see the 3rd dimension, something no one except the council knew about. I thought there was going to be a big revelation at the end of the book, but instead he gets thrown into jail and basically forgotten. It was like nothing happened. Not even his grandson found out.…

    Rikki-Tikki-Tavi by Rudyard Kipling is a very good story. The excerpt is about a Mongoose who is determined to kill the three snakes in the garden and save his family. The author claims that Rikki-tikki is a very curious and brave creature. It is also very hard to frighten Rikki-Tikki because mongoose’s are “eaten up from noose to tail with curiosity.” According to Kipling, Rikki-Tikki wound up in “the middle of a garden path” when a high summer flood washed him out of the burrow that he lived in. He met two cobras, Nag and Nagaina, he knew he had to kill them for the safety of his family and friends. The father in the story was almost killed by Nag in the bathtub but Rikki-Tikki came to the rescue and killed Nag first.…

    If you recall in paragraph 25 killing a snake is a grown mongoose's business. This is his first step to growing up. Also if his mother fed him on snake, he would have natural eaten it. Now, since he had other snakes to fight, he didn't eat the snake. This shows how he has grown up. In paragraph 56 and 57, he is trying figure out when he should kill Nag. Paragraph 57 says, "'Now, if I kill him here, Nagaina will know; and if I fight him on the open floor, the odds are in his favor. What am I to do?' said Rikki-tikki-tavi." When Rikki-tikki attacked Karait he just attacked he didn't think about anything. That time he put himself at a bigger risk. This time he actually spent time to think. He considered his options and his surroundings. This shows that he has grown a little more. In paragraph 61 he kills Nag. In paragraph 104 he kills Nagaina. Paragraph 104 says, "...Rikki-tikki, covered with the dirt, dragged himself out of the hole leg by leg, licking his whiskers." He had just gone the rat-hole with his teeth in Nagaina. When he came back up, the garden found out that he killed Nagaina. When it says that he licking his whiskers, I can infer that he might have eaten…

    Rikki never gave up and in return, saved the garden. I realized that there are many possible themes in this story. One being, if you put your mind to it you’re bound to succeed, but my theme is correct, of course. You can tell that Rikki is a hero easily. When he kills Nag, he rescues the family from a surprise attack in the bathroom.…

    Some actors acted and appeared entirely different in the movie than the book. The directing and special effects were okay in some scenes, but half-baked and lousy in others. Furthermore, the characters are developed far less in the film and many semi-important scenes in the novel are excluded in the film. Do not watch this movie unless you have read the novel (or even if you have read it). If you haven’t read the book and decide to watch the movie instead, you will fail to understand the complicated relationships between each character and between the Socs and Greasers and just think the movie is substandard and all aspects of the movie lacked in action, emotion, or just seemed like they were not well thought out. A 3.5/10 may seem harsh, but I was not pleased. Just go read the book instead. It had the potential to be a great film, but severely missed the…

    The plot really kept me thoroughly entertained and "on my toes". I didnt necessarily know what was going to happen next. After Ruth broke Idgie's heart, she did various actions that really gave me a different outlook on her character. Both Idgie and Ruth did some sneaky things that could've got them in loads of trouble. Even Sipsey did some scandlous actions that shocked me! The plot definetely built lots of suspense that made the climax look even more horrifying.…

    In the last few years, there is a rising amount of reports concerning domestic violence towards women. Two professors of psychology from the University of Washington, that were unsatisfied with the authorities' treatment regarding battering men, sought to investigate the field. In their study, that included 63 couples where the wives were victims of battered man, it was discovered an unusual physiological difference that distinction between two types of batterers: the pit bull and the cobra. They described the two types according to their behavior towards woman – the pit bull is aggressive and hot-tempered, and the cobra is usually calm and strikes without warnings. It was found that the behavior of those two types has both similarities and…
