I feel like there is a good setup in terms of how the book is playing out. However, considering the book is said to be about a tiger and Pi on a boat, I feel like the plot is pretty slow so far.

I feel like Pi's philosophy of practicing 3 religions simultaneously is interesting in the fact that he refuses to give up on his beliefs and asks to partake in the different practices of each religion. The concept of loving god is the same for all 3 religions-- it's just who god is and how you love them is different. Pi sees past that and just wants to love god for who he is, which is intriguing to me cause I have never seen anything like it

Why take so much time to list out the animals, the procedures, and all that went into shipping them out? I feel that it was supposed to add the effect of time feeling stretched, of feeling like much needed to packed into a small amount of time, or in this case, text. However, it didn't quite work for me, at least. It felt like an odd bit out from the rest of the book, which was engaging and quicker-paced.

Why are all the religious leader dudes so averse to Pi being a practicer of multiple faiths?

The very last line of the last chapter really threw me off. Because I knew this story was going to be a crazy one, but how are you going to say "this story has a happy ending" and not expect me to go into a spiral of emotions. And I will be honest, I read the first line of the next chapter, and holy frick frack, I understand slightly why it would not be such a happy story.

There's been so many tiny little details and random pieces of information, and not only do they build Pi as a character, but I think they're all going to come into play later. Just that the whole Sloth thing in the very beginning probably is going to have correlation to how Pi survives his traumatic event in Part 2

I found it interesting that there are 2 people that share the same name. (Mr. Kumar) It's interesting because even though they share the same name, they have different interests. One of the Mr. Kumar's is focused in science while the other is in religion. These 2 characteristics are what we see revolve around Pi in Part 1 of Life of Pi. (Zoo and Religion)

Why is Pi's dad so obsessed with being modern?

# data[].attributes.body
The last chapter I thought was interesting in the sense that it makes you wonder what cause Pi to have the life he was having like if it religion or something else.

# data[].attributes.body
is it really that bad the Pi is observing multiple religions? or are they just freaking out because it's different. i think it's v interesting

# data[].attributes.body
I think the way they portray the three religions that Pi believes in was well thought out

# data[].attributes.body
I find it cool that Pi follows and dedicates himself to 3 different religions

# data[].attributes.body
Pi’s beliefs regarding that anyone who takes a more violent approach to others whose beliefs are different is very bold and sort of contradicts a lot of the worlds history

# data[].attributes.body
Personally, I really like the ideas of religions being united on one front. There is so much religious conflict in our world and it's cool to see some unity, especially when it's unity caused by a young boy. I think that nods to the fact that our younger generations often have the most effective solutions, however simple they may seem.

I'm finding it very difficult to remember the characters' names and tell them apart.

What is the significance of the zebras?

I went back and read the confrontation between the religious leaders today. It struck me just how harsh they were towards one another, and how, at the core, that doesn't accurately represent the beliefs of any of them. All are built on ideas of love and tolerance, so their ripping and tearing at the lives and religions of the others made me think a lot. I personally believe in just one God, but this got me thinking about just how far tolerance goes within a religion of love.

I am wondering if the observations of animal behavior comes from whatever experience he has in the next part on the boat, or how his prior knowledge will influence his actions.

# data[].attributes.body
I really don't understand why Pi's father thinks that animals should not be treated the same as humans? He seems to establish himself as one who knows absolutely everything about animals whether it be their emotions to their nature, but that might not be the case.

I find Pi's desire to follow and practice 3 religions very interesting.

# data[].attributes.body
Pi's father to me at least has the one personality trait of being a modern Hindu, yet he does not practice Hinduism and is scared of new things (things new to him) yet I feel like modern is new things. So I guess what thoughts go through Pi's fathers mind?

# data[].attributes.body
i really like this book compared to ones we've read in the past. it's easier to dive into and enjoy in my opinion

# data[].attributes.body
I was really confused on the part when the Mr. Kumars met. Especially when he gave no hints which one was speaking. It was just a giant guessing game. Not really a question, but it was confusing, and was a very questionable part of the book

# data[].attributes.body
I wonder what will happen on the ship ride since the end of chapter 36 ended on an ominous note

# data[].attributes.body
To Aria's point, I think it's interesting to see the contrast between the love that Pi feels from each of these religions versus the conflict that occurs between the religious leaders.

Why are Pi's family so repulsed by swimming? Did they have trama in the ocean as well?

# data[].attributes.body
I like how Pi believes in three religions and connects it's to his experiences. I also found it extremely interesting that Hinduism led him to Christianity.

# data[].attributes.body
I found it weird how his parents treated his interest like a phase or something - they were joking and laughing about it but still let him indulge

# data[].attributes.body
Why is Pi's dad so against Pi following 3 religions? It's a bit funny.

# data[].attributes.body
I understand conflict between people of Islamic and Hindu beliefs but why are Pi's parent so upset at Pi's following of Islam but not Christianity?

# data[].attributes.body
I really think this book is pretty slow so far, but it is just building up to the point and setting up a good background. I've seen the movie before, and it doesn't go this deep into Pi's life so I found it pretty interesting. But yeah, I think this book is pretty slow as of now and I'm just waiting for the point where he gets stuck on the boat.

# data[].attributes.body
will his parents' opinions about everything will change after his experiences?
