Life of Pi takes a unique perspective on humanity, using Pi's journey and changes to show what aspects of humanity are innate and enduring. For example, Pi abandons his vegetarianism and even expresses declining empathy for life, indicating that, to an extent, the book argues that much of our moral guidelines are not innate or inherent to being human but are instead taught. However, by demonstrating Pi's constant devotion to his family and religion, the book does advocate for a universal desire for spiritual or familial connection.]]> 2022-04-26 14:49:26 UTC https://padlet.com/sarahbrown46/ssuuz5avx03z0irb/wish/2158670533 https://padlet.com/sarahbrown46/ssuuz5avx03z0irb/wish/2158672324 The algae island in life of Pi provides a structured metaphor for the after life and how engagement with it can placate the significant stress of everyday life]]> 2022-04-26 14:50:21 UTC https://padlet.com/sarahbrown46/ssuuz5avx03z0irb/wish/2158672324 https://padlet.com/sarahbrown46/ssuuz5avx03z0irb/wish/2158672687 The theme of finding a balance in parenting (overparenting and underparenting) is evident in Frankenstein. Because Victor was pampered and raised in a very sheltered environment, his initial exposures to the dark sides of life inspire fear and flight. When he creates the monster, his decision to not nurture this "child" of his arguably leads to many of the fatal consequences in the novel. Shelley clearly is examining the difficulty of parenting in these ways.
