He threatened to bit Chuchundra.

Who would ever hurt a poor innocent depressed musk rat who doesn't even have enough courage to walk in the middle of the room in the bungalow.

He threatened to tip over Darzee’s nest full of his babies.

What kind of cold hearted monster would want to tip over a nest of innocent little baby birds, if he did he did they would all die from hitting the ground from a tree.

So if Riki tiki tavi was a hero he would never try to bite a innocent muskrat nor he would tip over a nest of baby birds so if he would do these things then he fails to be a hero.

in the story rikki tikki tavi, in my opinion rikki is a hero, because he did many noble deeds. he killed the snakes that threatened his family, and did something no other mongoose has done before- going into a snake hole

# data[].attributes.body
In the story Rikki Tikki Tavi, Rikki tikki is a hero in my opinion because he has noble and Couragus qualities that a hero has such as Rikki saving his family from snakes, Saving Teddy from a poisonous snake named Kariat, he followed Nagania into her hole just to kill her to stop her from harming others and Rikki killed Nag a feared cobra that eat Darzees egg. Rikki tikki did some non heroic things also like killing Naganias eggs. Why I think killing Naganias eggs is not heroic is because the eggs did nothing and Rikki could hav just moved the eggs out of the way and far so it cant do any harm to anyone. Also making chunchundra tel him where the eggs are or he will bite him, and Rikki threaten to through Darzees eggs of the nest. That is the only bad things that Rikki tikki

In the story rikki tikki tavi ,  is a hero because he sows noble, courageous and hero like qualities.For example  he saved the families lives and saved everybody from the dangerous cobras called Nag and Nagaina. He goes into the hole of nagaina kills her so the eggs can no longer hatch. It wasn't the right thing to do but that meant young cobras. He saves darzee from the cobras so no more babies can be eaten.

In the story rikki tikki tavi , rikki shows that he is courageous and has noble qualities. for example rikki is noble because he saves the family from the snakes. this means that he put his life for teddy's family. he also destroyed the baby snakes knowing later in the future that there will be more king cobras. He was courageous because he followed nagiana into her hole. Normal mongooses don't do that but rikki did and killed her and she wont come out again. being courageous and noble are what rikki is.

In the story, Rikki-tikki is a hero because he killed all the snakes in the garden and saved all the family’s lives. This is a heroic move because he was putting other’s lives in front of his own, which means he is selfless. He shows noble qualities and he does outstanding achievements which heroes should have. He only cared for his family’s safety and guarded their lives. That is why Rikki is a hero in my opinion.

# data[].attributes.body
In the story, Rikki-Tikki-Tavi, Rikki-tikki is a snake killing mongoose. He is a hero in many ways. He has all the heroic qualities to be called a hero. There is three qualities that you have to have in order to be called a hero and they are, noble qualities, courageous qualities, and outstanding achievement qualities. Rikki-tikki has noble qualities such as when he save Teddy from Kariat, the venomous snake. Kariat could have bit or even kill Teddy if it weren’t for Rikki. He also has courageous qualities such as when he does his nightly walks around the house and in the garden. This is a courageous quality because you can't see very well in the dark therefore, an animal could have came up behind him and killed him. Even Chuchundra, the muskrat, said that he would never run out in the middle of the floor like Rikki would. These are my reasons why I believe that Rikki-tikki is a hero.

# data[].attributes.body
In the story, Rikki tikki tavi, Rikki tikki is a hero because he has noble qualities and has outstanding achievements. For instance Rikki tikki is noble because he saves the family. He saves multiple lives multiple times in the house which is a noble quality heroes save lives so Rikki tikki must be a hero. Rikki tikki has outstanding achievements because he kills the snake eggs. The young cobras could take over the garden day and him killing the eggs made sure that he nor his family could get killed. Lastly He is noble because he enters Nagaina's hole to kill her risking his life to save everyone in the garden and his family which is a heroic act. So, I believe rikki tikki is a hero because he kills the snakes, saves the family, and goes into Nagaina's hole to kill her

# data[].attributes.body
In the story Rikki Tikki Tavi, I don't think Rikki Tikki was a hero because he did things he was born to do and he wasn't scared to do it. He killed Karait to "protect" Teddy even though he's used to killing snakes. Rikki also killed Nag by doing what he's used to. Even though Rikki appreciates Teddy's family for them taking care of him, it's his natural instinct to kill snakes. If he didn't kill the snakes the family would die, but Rikki would've killed the snakes anyway even if he ended up in the garden, he would've saved Darzee and Chuchundra from Nag, Nagaina, and Karait. Therefore I don't think RIkki is a hero.

# data[].attributes.body
In the story, Rikki-Tikki is a hero because he shows noble and courageous qualities which a hero has.
He had the courage to go into Nagaina’s home and it was heroic because not many Mongoose would choose to go down in a Cobra’s den. He did a Outstanding Achievement by escaping nagaina’s strike from behind and that is heroic because that is something hard to do especially from behind. Then He had courage to kill the snakes for the family, that was also heroic because fighting Cobras are dangerous especially for how small Rikki-Tikki is so their bite could kill Rikki-Tikki and the people in the story. Therefore I think Rikki-Tikki is a hero because he has the courage to take on anything deadly.

# data[].attributes.body
In the story Rikki Tikki Tavi,I do not think Rikki was a hero because didn't exhibit traits of what a true hero is .

For example he killed Nag and Nagina’s baby snakes which is not noble or heroic,he easily could have put the snakes somewhere far away from the family's house,and according to the text he threatened Chuchundra by saying “I will bite you Chuchundra If you don’t tell me where the eggs are.”

Rikki Tikki also threatened Darze by saying he will through her babies out of the nest.

So in conclusion he was not a hero because by killing Nag,Nagaina,and Kyrait is just doing what a mongoose does,and he killed the baby snakes when he had several other options to use. In the end I do not see Rikki Tikki Tavi as a hero.

# data[].attributes.body
In the story of Rikki-Tikki , he’s a hero by showing the qualities of a hero like being noble, courageous, and having outstanding achievements. For example, Rikki saved the family from the cobras throughout the story because the cobras were plotting to kill the family so that Rikki would have no choice but to leave the house. Rikki is basically showing a quality of being noble since he’s risking his life for others. Another piece of evidence would be that Rikki is courageous by distinguishing himself from other mongooses. By chasing a snake into it’s home, Rikki is once again risking his life for others and creating a heroic act. Lastly, he did an outstanding achievement  by dodging a strike by a snake from behind like he had eyes behind his back. Rikki could’ve died at that very moment but luckily he was skilled and pays close attention. Overall in the conclusion by what Rikki has done, he's a hero for showing qualities o one and doing things that other mongooses wouldn't even do.

Rikki-Tikki is not a hero

for example he killed snakes in  the yard but he was born to kill snakes so he wasn’t scared of snakes because he was born to kill snakes it’s a mongoose’s purpose in life.According to the text Rikki-Tikki threatened to bite Chuchundra in this case Rikki Tikki isn’t being noble in this situation because he threatening his closest friends by saying he will bite Chuchundra.Again he did the same thing by threatening Darzee by saying if you do not tell me where Nagaina is I will roll your babies out of your nest what person would do something to a close friend to just figure out where a cobra is it’s horrible this is another reason that Rikki-Tikki is not a hero.In conclusion, Rikki-Tikki can’t be a hero because he threatens his friends and he is not courageous by killing snakes it’s his way of life.

Rikki tikki is  very much a hero because of his Noble and Outstanding achievements he did in the story. For instances Rikki Tikki is a very Noble animal because He killed Karit so the snake  didn't hurt Teddy. Rikki also killed other snakes to protect the  family in the bungalow. If Rikki Tikki was not there to provide help for  the snakes, the snakes  would’ve killed  the family or harm them is some type of way. He killed the snakes and got rid of them once and for all. Another one of Rikki Tikki’s Noble qualities is when he killed nag and Nagaina's eggs before they could hatch and become killer cobras. He killed them to protect his garden and area where he lives and kept other animals and humans living in the bungalows safe from future snake attacks. These reasons are why Rikki Tikki is a hero.

# data[].attributes.body
In the story Rikki Tikki Rikki shows some very heroic traits which makes me think he is a hero because he is Noble, Courageous. One piece of evidence is the text is when rikki saves the family from the gruesome cobras who plotted on killing the family he saved the family by killing nag and also getting rid of nagaina which is a noble deed, Another part of him being noble is when rikki saved teddy from possibly being killed by the small poisionous snake karait which is noble and a great deed to save someone he cares for, the final thing that the author portrayed in the story is rikki following nagaina into her snake  hole and many mongooses wouldn’t dare do that because  there is a fat chance of them not making it out alive which can be a chilling thought for a mongoose to even think of following a snake especially a cobra into its hole which can prove he is courageous for doing such a dangerous feat. Overall rikki is a great and caring mongoose who is a hero to many.

In the story Rikki-tikki Tavi, Rikki-tikki does not show noble and courageous qualities to make him a hero. For instance, Rikki killed Nagiana's babies. The baby cobras did not do any harm. Another example is that he threatened Darzee by saying he would throw his babies out of the nest because he was not answering Rikki-tikki. Darzee was just singing and a hero would not throw babies out of a nest. The last example would be Rikki-tikki killing Karait. It wasn't really courageous for him to kill Karait because killing snakes and cobras is his purpose of life. These 3 examples show that Rikki- tikki is not a hero because he does not have noble and courageous qualities to make him a hero.

# data[].attributes.body
Rikki tikki is a true hero because he shows outstanding achievements and noble qualities. Rikki is Noble because he killed Karait from biting teddy and poisoning him, and he also killed nag witched saved the big mans life. These examples show that he is noble because by biting and killing both Karait and Nag, he is saving his and his families life. Also by doing this he put himself in danger just to protect his new family. Another great quality that Rikki shows is an outstanding achievement. He shows this quality by going into Nagaina’s home. This is an amazing quality because not even the oldest wisest bravest mongoose would even give a slight thought to go into a cobras home, but Rikki killed nagaina and her last baby. Now you can see by these amazing qualities Rikki-Tikki is a true brave hero.

# data[].attributes.body
Rikki - Tikki is a hero because he shows  noble and courageous qualities which a hero has. He did a courageous thing by killing the cobras and saving Teddy and his family. This shows that he is a hero because Rikki saved the lives of the family and earned noble qualities for doing so. Rikki at the end of the story had courage to go into Nagaina’s hole. By doing this it shows that he is a hero for doing something many other mongooses wouldn’t dare to do which gives him a very courageous quality.

Rikki-Tikki shows that he is a hero because he is courageous and noble like qualities. For example Rikki-Tikki killed the cobras and saved the families lives and he distracted Nagania when she was going to strike Teddy. This example shows that he is a hero because Rikki saved the families lives and he risk his life for other people so that shows that he is noble, noble is a hero like qualities. My last example is Rikki went into Nagaina's home to kill her. This shows that he courageous because a mongoose knows that not to go into a cobra’s home and, courageous is a hero like qualities. For conclusion Rikki-Tikki is a hero because he went into a cobra’s home, saved the families in the garden, and distracted the cobra’s to save Teddy’s life.

# data[].attributes.body
In the story of “Rikki-Tikki Tavi” Rikki-Tikki isn't a hero because he mostly doesn’t any noble qualities.
For an example Rikki can’t be hero after he kills the baby snake eggs that belonged to Nagaina. Those eggs didn’t anything to the family that showed harm, he could have moved the eggs far from the garden so Nagaina would have a hard time to look for them, and the egg are unborn so they are innocent!
Also according to the text Rikki also can’t be a hero do to the fact that he threatened Darzee the bird about throwing his baby egg out of their nest. First that isn’t something a hero would do to a bystander as well say, and Darzee was just singing a song about the death of Nag.
For instance... Rikki isn’t a hero after killing Nag & Nagaina, because it’s a mongoose’s job to fight and kill snake. It seemed like to Rikki it wasn’t a big deal.
With my evidence this proves that Rikki-Tikki can’t be hero.

# data[].attributes.body
Rikki-tikki is not a hero because he was not noble and didn’t have outstanding achievements which are qualities of a hero. In the story, Rikki-tikki threatened to bite Chunchura and he destroyed Nagina’s eggs. This was not a noble deed because Nagina’s eggs were innoccent and Rikki-tikki got mad at Chunchura for being scared. During the story, Rikki-tikki killed the snakes. This wasn’t an outstanding achievment because Rikki is a mongoose and a mongoose’s job is to kill snakes. A true hero would have been noble and have outstanding achievements and Rikki didn’t.
