The Mongoose and the Iguana     ©Ann Mason May 2006

 

This WebQuest has enabled you to explore a very important issue. To be able to sustain a world that honours and protects our natural environment we all need to work together to solve the problems with which we are faced in today's world.

The stories we share reflect our understanding of the world in which we live. The sharing of peace-building stories you create will certainly help create a better world because your stories will enable others to appreciate the issues and encourage them to solve them in sustainable peace-building ways.

Rikki Tikki Tavi was a story created by Rudyard Kipling and it is part of series of short stories in The Jungle Book (1894). This story reflects the ways people thought and resolved issues during the late 19th Century. The story unfolds an exciting but typical hero defeating villain plot with violence, so therefore it is not a peace-building story. You might want to compare how Rikki Tikki Tavi the mongoose resolved problems compared to how the mongoose and the iguana together resolved their issues. You might also consider focussing on a section of the story at which one character could have changed his or her thinking and behaviours and therefore enabled the story to be transformed into a peace-building story.
