Aengus wanted to find his true love in the wild. These characters had different reasons for doing what they did.

Without a theme, a story is just a story with little meaning. To test whether a theme is worthy, the reader should ask whether it teaches a lesson, whether it's revealed through characters and whether it applies to the entire work. Several themes in the novel Night by Elie Wiesel and in the movie The Book Thief pass this test.In Night, Elie writes a memoir about how he and his family are sent to Aushwits, a concentration camp, for being Jewish during the holocaust. At the camps, Elie suffers through great trials that challenge his faith as he witnesses the worst in humanity. Similarly in The Book Thief, a fiction story about theme in character, Liesel Meminger.

Others say success is based on your fulfillment and overall happiness in your life. Alfred Brooks, the protagonist in the novel The Contender by Robert Lypsite, has many friends, family, and supporters. Alfred also has almost no financial gain through boxing, but he's been inspired to work hard. Lastly, Alfred is very happy with his life even after his boxing career fails. On the other hand, Midge Kelly, the main character in the film "Champion," is the polar opposite of Alfred. Midge loses his friends, family, and supporters. Also, Midge is rich, but he dies alone and unhappy. At the end of the novel, Alfred Brooks is more successful than Midge Kelly is at the end of the movie.

Theme provides your story with greater meaning and purpose. It allows readers to dig deeper into your writing. While some themes are incredibly evident (i.e. Androcles and the Lion depicts the benefits of helping others), others can be subjective. Take The Hunger Games for example; some say the theme is defiance of immoral authority while others might say the theme is surviving against all odds. Both would be right because Suzanne Collins' theme is open to interpretation.

Nagaina, another character in the story is cruel and protecting of her family. For instance, in the story, Nagaina was cruel. Nagaina had wanted to kill both the family and Rikki Tikki just for her eggs (para 51). Therefore her eggs could live and hatch with the family there, she wanted to rid the bungalow of Rikki and saw him as a problem. Nagaina’s cruel personality was very different from Rikki Tikki’s loyal personality. Also, Nagaina was also protective of her family. Like Rikki, she wanted to protect her family but went to drastic measures to protect them and would kill Rikki for her eggs (para 51). Thus Nagaina was protective which led her to be cruel and protective over her family.Nagaina was like Rikki in the sense that she wanted to

“I’ve learned that courage was not the absence of fear, but the triumph over it. The brave man is not he who does not feel afraid, but he who conquers that fear.” As Nelson Rolihlahla Mandela once said.Rikki Tikki was not afraid because he loves the family and his family loves him.The theme of the fictional story Rikki-tikki-tavi by Rudyard Kipling is being loved can make some characters have courage.

Nagaina first shows how wicked she is, at the beginning of the story. This happens when Rikki is telling Nag that you shouldn’t eat baby birds. Little does Rikki know that Nag has a wife who means to kill him. Lucky for Rikki, Darzee the bird warns him so he jumped “up in the air as high as he could go, and just under him whizzed by the head of Nagaina, Nag’s wicked wife.”(19)

In Rudyard Kipling's fiction story, "Rikki-tikki-tavi", the theme of Good vs. Evil is demonstrated through Rikki's actions during his many conflicts within the story.

In today’s society, we have former National Football League(NFL) quarterback Collin Kapernick who’s no longer in the NFL because of his protest against racial inequality. However, many people believe he is no longer in the NFL because of his talent. Kapernick led the 49ers to Super Bowl 47. Although they didn’t win, he threw for 302 yards with a touchdown and rushed for 62 yards. Therefore, he didn’t get kicked out of the league because he wasn’t good enough, but for sitting down during the national anthem.

My favorite character from unit one was Rikki-Tikki, from Rudyard Kipling’s Rikki Tikki Tavi. I liked Rikki-Tikki because he was brave, selfless, and also caring. These are all important traits. Kipling developed Rikki’s traits early in the story. At first, he seemed helpless, especially when he was saved by Teddy and his family. However, soon afterward, you could tell Rikki- Tikki was courageous and willing to fight for them. Rikki was very loving to the family. Teddy’s mother was concerned for Teddy at first, but she eventually realized Rikki-Tikki could protect him. I would probably react the same way. RIkki-Tikki loved the family so much he risked his life multiple times to protect them. When Nagaina got into the veranda during breakfast,
