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.
