What I liked most about the book

Below I described the parts of the book that I enjoyed the most. These are the ones that really stood ot to me.

·         I found the discussion of religion very interesting because it shows us that no religion is better than another. They are each unique and have their own wonderful story. I can understand why Pi chose to practise three religions.

·         I found the tiger very interesting because it’s not every day that you hear of a tiger lost at sea. I like how he gave Pi motivation to continue living.

·         I really liked the part of the book when Pi starts singing happy birthday to his deceased mom. I thought it was really sad and touching.

·          I found the part where Pi finds the carnivorous algae island very mysterious, because it is a free floating island with unseen trees and it produces acid at night in order to catch its prey.

·         I found the part where the Tsimtsum starts sinking very frightening and sad. To know that your family is on that ship and there’s nothing you can do to help them, knowing that you’ll probably never see them again, is just really sad.

·         I liked the part where Pi tells the same story but with different characters. He replaces the animals with humans, each new person representing the animal that was on the boat. It was a bit confusing because now there are two stories and we don’t know which one is the real one.

·         I found the part where Pi meets the Frenchman confusing and scary. Confusing because they start talking about food but it’s never really clear who Pi is talking to and scary because he tries to kill Pi afterwards.

·         I found  the part where Pi’s father is warning him and his brother, Ravi, of the dangers of animals in their zoo to be very interesting because it teaches us to never judge a book by its cover or so to speak. He taught them that animals are dangerous and just because they look cute doesn’t mean that they are gentle.

·         I found the part where Pi is talking to the representatives of Oika, (the ship company) very funny because Pi is talking back to them and arguing his points of view.

·         I found the part where Pi starts marking his territory, to show Richard who’s in charge, interesting because a 16 year old boy manages to train a Bengal tiger aboard a lifeboat, and manages to make it through the entire journey without being eaten by him.
