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. ]]> 2021-03-09 21:05:44 UTC https://padlet.com/004intern04/ny0bdrz0gsg99uts/wish/1289959924 https://padlet.com/004intern04/ny0bdrz0gsg99uts/wish/1289960657 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]]> 2021-03-09 21:05:59 UTC https://padlet.com/004intern04/ny0bdrz0gsg99uts/wish/1289960657 https://padlet.com/004intern04/ny0bdrz0gsg99uts/wish/1289960776 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. ]]> 2021-03-09 21:06:01 UTC https://padlet.com/004intern04/ny0bdrz0gsg99uts/wish/1289960776 https://padlet.com/004intern04/ny0bdrz0gsg99uts/wish/1289960953 Why are all the religious leader dudes so averse to Pi being a practicer of multiple faiths?]]> 2021-03-09 21:06:05 UTC https://padlet.com/004intern04/ny0bdrz0gsg99uts/wish/1289960953 s125046 https://padlet.com/004intern04/ny0bdrz0gsg99uts/wish/1289961152 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. ]]> 2021-03-09 21:06:08 UTC https://padlet.com/004intern04/ny0bdrz0gsg99uts/wish/1289961152 https://padlet.com/004intern04/ny0bdrz0gsg99uts/wish/1289961355 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.

(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.

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. ]]> 2021-03-09 21:07:20 UTC https://padlet.com/004intern04/ny0bdrz0gsg99uts/wish/1289965040 s680721 https://padlet.com/004intern04/ny0bdrz0gsg99uts/wish/1289965600 I'm finding it very difficult to remember the characters' names and tell them apart.]]> 2021-03-09 21:07:29 UTC https://padlet.com/004intern04/ny0bdrz0gsg99uts/wish/1289965600 https://padlet.com/004intern04/ny0bdrz0gsg99uts/wish/1289967384 What is the significance of the zebras?]]> 2021-03-09 21:08:00 UTC https://padlet.com/004intern04/ny0bdrz0gsg99uts/wish/1289967384 https://padlet.com/004intern04/ny0bdrz0gsg99uts/wish/1289967644 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.]]> 2021-03-09 21:08:05 UTC https://padlet.com/004intern04/ny0bdrz0gsg99uts/wish/1289967644 s680721 https://padlet.com/004intern04/ny0bdrz0gsg99uts/wish/1289968605 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.]]> 2021-03-09 21:08:24 UTC https://padlet.com/004intern04/ny0bdrz0gsg99uts/wish/1289968605 https://padlet.com/004intern04/ny0bdrz0gsg99uts/wish/1289969564 I really don't understand why Pi's father thinks that animals should not be treated the same as humans?
