We first learned that Pi is very into learning about animals and religious studies. I think this will have a big effect on the rest of the story because this was taken from the future. This will be foreshadowing something with animals which he gets stuck on a boat with. Also, religion is a big part of his life as he is trying to find which he wants to follow. Overall, everything said in this is foreshadowing what will be happening later into the book.

This lesson foreshadows Pi's unfortunate fate of being stranded at sea with a tiger. The lesson itself tells of nature's brutality, especially that of tigers. Pi will have to face this very same innate brutality when he attempts to tame Richard Parker on the lifeboat.

Pi is very open-minded about religion. For a couple of chapters, he explores many different religions including, Islam, Hinduism, Catholicism, and Atheism. (Past)

Pi does not know what religion he completely trusts. I think this is going to come into play when he is on the boat all alone. The only animal that lived was the tiger which in my eyes is representing God. I think he is with him because they need to survive and both somehow did unlike everyone else. I think this is what made him switch from being an atheist to being religios.

Without this move, the story the rest of the novel unfolds would be nonexistent. It was because of the environment that Pi had to eventually stay stranded at sea with a tiger. A major theme can be constructed about how an environment affects a person's actions, and how those actions in turn change their life. Actions are directly related to the environment a person lives in.

When on the trip to Canada, the boat sunk due to mechanical issues. The only reason he lived was because the crewmates pushed him overboard onto the lifeboat which contained various animals, including a hyena. His whole family died along with everyone else on the boat except for him.

at first Pi thought he was having fun seeing the huge amounts of water hitting the ship but he soon realizes that it was actually sinking. He tried to get his family but once he got to the lower part of the ship where his family was it was flooded. When the crew members pushed him off onto the life boat they werent saving his life they were using him as bait for the heyena which was also on board with him. The Heyena didnt attack him though and lots of more animals climb on board and join the castaway crew.

After the ship sank Pi rescued a Heyena, orangutan, zebra and Richard Parker the tiger. Over the course of the next few days on the lifeboat he sees the animals slowly die off and kill eachother except for Richard Parker and the Heyena. Once things calm down Pi is able to locate the supplies on the LifeBoat which gives him a big advantage.

When the ship sank Pi was put on a raft with a group of animals. For Pi this is a challenge brought to him because he is vegeterian and he has been around animals his entire life. Seeing multiple innocent animals die around him as he survives makes him closer to god in his eyes. The only animals that are left are the obvious two strongest Richard Parker the tiger and the heyena. Pi goes over how he knew that they would be the ones to survive and he can only watch nature happen.

In the beginning Pi is a vegetarian who doesnt even touch meat, but very soon after the boat sank he was forced to eat things that had animal products. In other words Pi would never of done this if the boat didnt sink but due to his circumstances he is forced to. And hes saying that anyone can get used to anything if they are forced to do it to survive.

With Pi being out on the boat for a long time, he is finally starting to have a physical conflict happen to him. He is have these sores all over his body that he can't do anything about. The only thing that heals them is "sunshine and time".

I think that there has been a long time of Pi just living out on the boat perfectly fine. With this happening to him, it could be signaling more to come or even just a small conflict that is adding to his whole situation. He doesn't make a big deal out of it but things like that can lead to bigger problems which could be bad.

The contents of the schedule give a glimpse into how Pi is both mentally and physically surviving. He prays at least five times a day, showing how he has stayed faithful to religion. His devotion to religion, despite being stranded, tells of how religion is a comfort. People often rely on religion to feel comfortable, and Pi is doing just that while stranded.

Pi, who has finally found some natural food, realizes that the fruits on the trees have teeth in them. Almost as if someone had died in them. Also, he figures out that the island's algae/floor is poisonous and could really hurt him if touched. This island represents the easy side of religion for Pi. At first, it is easy to rely on it, but the second it goes bad and gets hard, he is lost and does not know what to do and doesn't want anything to do with it.

With Pi finally reaching land, we learn what this story was really about. It was not even the fact that he was trying to find land for almost a year, but that he built an incredibly strong relationship with a tiger and they worked together to survive. These are some of the dullest chapters in the book which is probably to show that it didn't mean that much to him. The whole trip was a lesson learned to work with what you have and keep the faith going on.

# data[].attributes.body
Pi at the end of the novel comes to meet an official and the official asks him to tell the true story of what happened. This whole time, Pi had been creating a false reality in his head where all of the animals the readers knew of, were actually human. The zebra that got killed was actually the sailor. The hyena that was doing the killing was the chef. And Orange Juice the orangutan who got it's head ripped off was actually his mom. I think because all of this happened to him, he made it seem fake so it would not scare him. When brought back to humanity, he was forced to connect it back to how it really was.
