50 POINTS!!! The excerpt below is an example of figurative language from the short story "Rikki-Tikki-Tavi" by Rudyard Kipling.

When he had lifted one-third of himself clear of the ground, he stayed balancing to and fro exactly as a dandelion-tuft balances in the wind, and he looked at Rikki-tikki with the wicked snake's eyes that never change their expression, whatever the snake may be thinking of. What purpose does the bold-faced figurative language serve?

Jimmy and Bob were good friends who wanted different things out of life. How do their professions reflect their different values
satela [25.4K]

Answer:

"Silky" Bob's profession shows that he was a cheap man that wanted money and expensive stuff for free but Jimmy Wells understood that money came from hard work and he wanted to stop the ones that thought it came for free. When he came to realize his best friend was one of those he couldn't arrest him because it was his friend. Jimmy was a hard working American while bob was feeding of of people like Jimmy and taking their hard earned money from them for his personal use.  That's what i believe from that story.
