DOL for this week and a reminder

Please don't forget to do Study Island. There are 2 sections this week.

Challenging Question:
In the story Rikki-tikki would the ending have been different if Rikki had not spoken to Chuchundra? Discuss your thoughts on the blog.

Do you think that Rikki ate Nagaina? Mongooses are supposed to occasionally eat the snake they kill. So what do you think?

I think Rikki did eat Nagina because he had no more snakes to kill

Sean K Per.3 TA said...

Well, yeah, but I dont think there was enough time for him to eat Nagaina.

allencper5(^-^') said...

I reread the story and it did not say how long he was in the hole

Unknown said...

Hi Ms. Gladden.I was wondering if we had to do 30 questions total for study island or 30 questions for each one, structural clues and simile and metaphor

allencper5(^-^') said...

hi trey I am also doing studyisland

Unknown said...

Cool. Do you know the answer?

Tariq M. Period 4 said...

The ending would have had to be different also because if rikki had not listened to chuchundra and heard the snakes then the father in the story would have probably died which would change the whole conclusion. Also looking at the story right after rikki went in the hole darzee sang a song for like 3 phrases. then it said that rikki came out of the hole with dirt on him. Which probably means that rikki could not have been in the hole for over 30 seconds. And i dont think a tiny mongoose can eat a 5ft snake in roughly 30 seconds because he has to kill it first. So Riki definetely did not eat nagaina.

Anyone wanna disprove with any counter conclusions? huh huh huh? anyone?

April said...

yo tariq

allencper5(^-^') said...

i thick it is 30 Questions in total

April said...

i think rikki tikki did eat the snake because its a fake story

Tariq M. Period 4 said...

allencper5(^-^') said...

April said...

well the story ended tthat way so

Tariq M. Period 4 said...

he was only in the hole for 30 seconds though

April said...

it hurts to play trumpet so i cant practice

Tariq M. Period 4 said...

how can something that is less than 1 foot eat a 5 foot snake in 30 seconds?

April said...

ohhh

Tariq M. Period 4 said...

hey sean k look at my pic

April said...

April said...

Tariq M. Period 4 said...

anyone else wanna disprove me?

Tariq M. Period 4 said...

yeah of course he killed it

allencper5(^-^') said...

it was more than 30 seconds tariq

April said...

but it didnt say he ate it

April said...

brb

Tariq M. Period 4 said...

how could it be?

Tariq M. Period 4 said...

he went in
darzee sang three songs about rikki dying after he went in and then he popped out again covered in dirt

Sean K Per.3 TA said...

I read the poem and it took me about 30 seconds to read it

allencper5(^-^') said...

read my 12 comment

Tariq M. Period 4 said...

i mean 3 verses of the "song" that he made up in a flash

April said...

im back!

Tariq M. Period 4 said...

he only read 3 phrases

allencper5(^-^') said...

why is ever one agenst me?

Tariq M. Period 4 said...

sean isnt my pic awesome

Sean K Per.3 TA said...

Also, Tariq, if Rikki didn't listen to Chuchundra the whole family would have died. Not just the father.

Tariq M. Period 4 said...

thats true

April said...

still its a made up story!

Sean K Per.3 TA said...

And Allen, Darzee started singing almost right after Rikki went in

April said...

why are we arguing about this?

Tariq M. Period 4 said...

yeah but arent we supposed debate on it?

April said...

no about a good 20 seconds after

Sean K Per.3 TA said...

Who here wants a mongoose for a pet

allencper5(^-^') said...

anyone like my picture asins rule

April said...

i think he did have time to eat the snake because the little person had to fly over there!!

Sean K Per.3 TA said...

20 seconds is probably the time it took Rikki to kill Nagaina.

April said...

thats racist!

allencper5(^-^') said...

sean there is no snakes here

April said...

but did it say he ate him?

Tariq M. Period 4 said...

"little person" stayed at his nest with the eggs april

April said...

wait is that sean the percussionist?

Sean K Per.3 TA said...

No thats what were supposed to be debating

Sean K Per.3 TA said...

Im not sean the percussionist

April said...

then how was he singing?

allencper5(^-^') said...

no i thick it the smart one

April said...

Unknown said...

O.k. thanks

April said...

this was after band i was awake!

Sean K Per.3 TA said...

I think we could switch to the other question

allencper5(^-^') said...

what per are you in tariq

April said...

gosh tariq

Sean K Per.3 TA said...

yeah tariq

Andy said...

Well I think that Rikki did eat Nagaina because the author never said that Darzee sang right after Rikki went in the hole. I mean pretend you are a mongoose and you try to follow a snake wouldn't you want to keep pursuing the snake? So probably, Darzee sang, when Rikki didnt come out of the hole for a period of time. And Tariq the book said that Darzee made up the song in a flash, the author never said that Darzee sang the song in a flash. I mean thats just my opinion, does anyone want to disagree with me?

April said...

woah

TrishaL.Per4 said...

Uuuh; is the 3O questions for Study Islaand due tomorrow?

April said...

:O :O :O

April said...

o my gosh trisha thanks for reminding me!

Andy said...

Umm yes Trisha o.o 30 questions for each section, so a total of 60 questions

allencper5(^-^') said...

andy thanks for suppoting me

April said...

i need to do study island!!

Sean K Per.3 TA said...

I do andy. In the time Darzee made up the song, Rikki probably killed Nagaina. Then Rikki also had to find his way back. And they were still had to take time to go farther down the hole

Sean K Per.3 TA said...

Study island is easy

Tariq M. Period 4 said...

im in 3rd period and andy it couldnt have taken that long. remember the author said he ate a lot at dinner with the family. if he ate a 5ft snake i dont think he would have the lieast bit of room in his tummy for a human dinner

April said...

theres lots of people on here i dont know

Kyle S. Per.6 said...

Ello? anybody there??? if you are here click go to my blog and comment!!!

Sean K Per.3 TA said...

Thats a good point tariq

allencper5(^-^') said...

hi trisha

April said...

ha ha tummy is a funny word

Tariq M. Period 4 said...

huh huh huh? andy disprove that me and sean are on a role. right sean?

Tariq M. Period 4 said...

andy?

Andy said...

Tariq tsk tsk. The story said that Rikki ate as much as he could after killing Nagaina. I mean Rikki celebrated after he killed all the snakes. And Sean aren't you kinda agreeing with me?

Adam D. Per.6 said...

I think Rikki ate Nagaina, or part of her, because there were no more snakes, he killed Karait,Nag,Nagaina, and their eggs. He ate the eggs, so he probably ate the snake.

If Rikki had not spoken to Chuchundra, Nag would have killed the family, and him too.

Tariq M. Period 4 said...

well if he ate he would have had to have taken a big poo to " eat as much as he can"

allencper5(^-^') said...

i agree with you andy read the 1st comment

Andy said...

O wait never mind I got your words mixed up Tariq. But why does Rikki have to eat the snake ? The story never said that he ate the snake or didn't eat the snake. I mean Rikki could've just bitten the snake and left it there to rot. Kinda harsh but still :]

Unknown said...

Hi again.I was wondering if you knew the name of the flash drive Ms. Gladden told us to get

Tariq M. Period 4 said...

also it said the ants went in the hole to see nagaina. they went for proof. so he probably just left him there

allencper5(^-^') said...

taiq when did the story talk about poo

Andy said...

And Tariq couldn't Rikki have taken a big poo o.o Okay i don't want to get to in to this, but I'm just saying I agree with Allen. High Five Allen !

Tariq M. Period 4 said...

thats what im trying to say rikki did not eat the snake. thats what i have been trying to prove to you this whole time rad my first comment. rikki DID NOT EAT NAGAINA

Tariq M. Period 4 said...

i mean read

TrishaL.Per4 said...

Trey; the flashdrive is PNY(:

Adam D. Per.6 said...

Trey, the flash drive was just any cheap one, with a cap ( not a slide)from Office depot, or others.

allencper5(^-^') said...

where your proof Tariq

Andy said...

So Tariq thecnically you are saying that Rikki did kill the snake. Am i right or wrong? Because quote you said, "so he probably just left him there." Im saying that too, Rikki killed Nagaina, but didn't eat her.

Tariq M. Period 4 said...

hey trisha

Tariq M. Period 4 said...

yeah rikki did kill nagaina but HE DID NOT EAT HER. Mrs. gladdens question was wether rikki ate or did not eat nagaina

Andy said...

Ahhh. I see Tariq, yep I agree with you then. Bye Allen im leaving your side XD

Adam D. Per.6 said...

Wow. I watched the movie of Rikki Tikki, and before there were 4 comments. 30 minutes later, there are 102.

Tariq M. Period 4 said...

KatieR. Per.6 said...

To challenging for me :]

Eric X. Per. 3 TA said...

Rikki-Tikki didn't eat Nagaina, I agree with Tariq. He was covered in dirt, and he couldn't have eaten up a whole snake in a minute. Also, Rikki had told himself to not eat a whole snake in one day, because he needs to keep thin, because there could always be another snake around.

Rachel C.Per 6 said...

Yes, the ending would have been different because it says that Chuchundra made him listen for Nag and Nagaina whispering, so it probably would have been different if he hadn't met Chuchundra, BUT then again he might have woken up and heard the noise because mongoose are light sleepers, as it said in the story, BUT then again it says that he searched different bathrooms to finally get to where Nag and Nagaina were.

Rachel C.Per 6 said...

I also think that Rikki Tikki didn't eat Nagaina because he didn't have any time to eat her. He just came out of the burrow and sneezed.

KatieR. Per.6 said...

OMG your so right rachel.. no i unno LOL

KatieR. Per.6 said...

LOL sorry rachel.. my dad needed the phone o__o

Rachel Choe said...

ya, it's ok Katie

allencper5(^-^') said...

Rikki ate a small bite of Nagina for the last time

allencper5(^-^') said...

April said...

-

April said...

well bye then!

TylerF_Per4 said...

i think it would have been different. this is because if he had not talked to chuchundra, the people in the house would be dead.

TylerF_Per4 said...

I don't think Rikki ate Nagaina because right after that he ate a whole bunch of food from the house, and if he ate the snake,he would have been full. also the ants went into the hole afterward, and if Rikki ate it, the ants would not have gone in the hole to eat it themselves.

BryanL Per. 4 said...

I agree with Tyler

BryanL Per. 4 said...

It wouldn't make sense for the ants to go into the hole if there was nothing to see.

Wow this is still going on??
