"Inside the ship, there were noises. Deep structural groans. I stumbled and fell. No harm done. I got up. With the help of the handreails I went down the starwell four steps at a time. I had gone down just one level when I saw water. Lots of water. It was blocking my way. It was surging from below like a riotous crowd, raging, frothing, and boiling. Stairs vanished into watery darkness. I couldn't believe my eyes. What was this water doing here? Where had it come from? I stood nailed to the spot, frightened and incredulous and ignorant of what I should do next. Down there was where my family was." (103)
This excerpt is a good example of imagery. It paints a mental picture of what Pi is going through right at that moment as the ship is sinking. It almost feels as if you are right there with him panicing as well. It also puts into perspective the idea that Pi is parentless, brotherless, and familyless now. This excerpt reminds me of the movie "Titanic" and how the water was seen gushing up from the bottom of the massive ship. I have no idea what I would think if I was in Pi's situation there...knowing that your family is gone and there's almost no hope of surviving now.
In zoos, as in nature, the best times to visit are sunrise and sunset. That is when most animals cme to life. They stir and leave their shelter and tiptoe to the water's edge. They show thier raiments. They sing their songs. They turn to each other and perform their rites. The reward for the watching eye and the listening ear is great. I spent more hours than I can count a quiet witness to the highly mannered, manifold expressions of life that grace our planet. It is something so right, loud, weird and delicate as to stupefy the senses.
I relized when reading this paragraph that he is always at the zoo during these times and during the day he is at school, where on the way out he adores the sounds the animals make. I also put some deep thought of how awsome and amazing it would be to live and run a zoo, curtainly as stated in the book his dad realized how much work it was, but what a fun animalized natured job! I predict that something very bad happens to the zoo due to the rude customers they have visit. Yann Martel does an excellent job of his wording, this book literally has me hooked and it is so realistic to me. I think this will be the best book we read all year. I also thought that it was interesting to read the authors note. I know that when i go visit the zoo i will be going at sun down so I can get my moneys worth and connect the book to my personal experice.
"I got up from my desk and hurried to the blackboard. before the teacher could say a word i picked up a piece of chalk and said as i wrote My name is piscine molitor patel, known to all as Pi. for good measure i added 3.14 and drew a large circle, which i then sliced in towo with a diameter, to evoke that basic lesson of geometry. there was silence. the teacher was staring at the board. i was holding my breath. then he said "very well, pi. sit down.next time you will ask permission before leaving your desk." yes sir.
i found this ammusing...i frequently get out of my desk and do random things in my classes...or used to back when i had classes that i actually sat down for...the kid wanted to get a point across and had a good offense to do so and executed his plan of attack well and his name caught on. then other kids who didnt like their names started doing it. then hte brother tried publicly humiliating him but it did not work. its always nice when older siblings plans dont go as they wanted...
"You see these guinea pigs?' 'Yes, father.' The creatures were trembling with weakness as they frantically nibbled their kernels of corn. 'Well . . . 'he leaned down and scooped one up. 'They're not dangerous.' The other guinea pigs scattered instantly. Father laughed. He handed me the squealing guinea pig. He meant to end on a light note."
I found this funny because the father is trying so hard to get the point across that wild animals are dangerous. He is stern throughout the entire tour around the zoo by making each animal sound like a beast that would come from blackness and inevitably take your life. By the time we get to the guinea pigs, we ask ourselves what is this terrible creature capable of doing to me? . . . just to find out that it is actually simply weak and frail and trembling. This showed me that the father really did care about his boys and wasn't just out to frighten them for pleasure. I appreciated the lighter tone.
Ms. Aichele said: "'Don't we say, Theres no place like home? That's certainly what animals feel. Animals are territorial. That is the key to their minds. Only a familiar territory will allow them to fulfill the two relentless imperatives of the wild: the avoidance of enemies and the getting of food and water.'
I think that this excerpt is true in so many ways. I mean an animal in a new environment will often starve because they don't know where to find the food or water. They also know that by wandering around they endanger their life because chances are that there is going to be a dominate male in area. But even more than that i like this because it reminds me of school. There are cliques and no one really tries to destroy those because that is the only thing that they have ever known. The funniest thing is when we get a new student they walk around the halls looking lost until they find that ever important group of people that they can call their oun."
"He bothered me, this Son. Everyday I burned with greater indignation against Him, found more flaws to Him (56)." "I couldn't get Him out of my head. Still can't. I spent three solid days thinking about Him. The more He bothered me, the less i could forget Him. And the more I learned about Him, the less I wanted to leave Him (57)"
This excerpt about religion from the book is true about many things in life. It explains religion so well in that, the more we learn about God or someother higher being, no matter the flaws we find, and how much we cant beleive what they did and the miracles performed, the more we think about them and want to learn more. When people put their faith in something other then worldly things, they seem to be taking a chance becasue they cannot see what they are beleiving in. Its almost like and imaginary friend that we beleive in and turn to with all our problems. Other things in life also have these effects on us. If somehting really bothers you it is so hard to just forget about it. As much as you want to forget about that person or thing you cant because you have so many questions and want to find out the truth. I think thats the motto for life: living to find out the truth in the world.
"Memory is an ocean and he bobs on its surface. I worry that he'll want to stop. But he wants to tell me his story. He goes on. After all these years, Richard Parker still preys on his mind"(42).
The author is using a metaphor when he says "Memory is an ocean". By saying this it makes it easier to understand how vast memory , in general, is. Pi is older now and memories change. He is only one person with one memory in a whole world of people. This metaphor could also mean that Pi's memory is so expansive that his story so far has only touched the surface and there's a prodigious amount of detail he is keeping inside either not wanting to reveal it or not knowing how to put it into words.
"For evil in the open is but evil from within that has been let out. The main battlefield for good is not the open ground of the public arena but the small clearing of each heart. Meanwhile, the lot of windows and homeless children is very hard, and it is to their defense, not God's, that the self-righteous should rush"(71).
In this quote Pi talks using metaphors. He's saying that the search for good, or truth, is not public and cannot be proved with facts. The answers lie in God and in everyones heart. He's criticizing people who think highly of themselves because they serve God (you be the judge if it's publicly or truly) , but are really wanting praise and recognition from other people. Pi feels that instead of defending God's name all the time those kind of self-righteous people should help God's children who really need it, for that is to truly serve Him.
-It was my turn. Time to put down Satan. Media, here I come.
I got up from the desk and hurried to the blackboard. Before the teacher could say a word, I picked up a piece of chalk and said as I wrote:
My name is
Piscine Molitor Patel
known to all as
--I double underlined the first two letters of my given name--
Pi Patel
for good measure I added
(pi sign) = 3.14
and I drew a large circle, which I then sliced in two with a diameter, to evoke that a basic lesson of geometry.- (pg. 22-23)
We talked in class about how Mr. Martel writes this story making it really believable. I think that Yann Martel does a really good job in making this fictional story seem extremely real. Piscine, aka Pi Patel seems like a very daring character after he gets annoyed. His name is not one that anyone would want and I don’t know why anyone would want to name their child that sounds anything close to pissing. I think that this daring act could be some type of foreshadowing. Maybe he will get upset and make a daring decision later in the book. I know that he is going to get stuck on a boat with a tiger, and maybe his daring side will show through then.
(Pages 15-16)The Life of the wild animal is simple, noble and meaningful, they imagine. Then it is captured by wicked men and thrown into tiny jails. Its “happiness” is dashed. It yearns mightily for “freedom” and does all it can to escape. Being denied its “freedom” for too long, the animal becomes a shadow of itself, its spirit broken. So some people imagine.
This is not the way it is.
Pi talks about how he believes that animals are better off in zoos; how can we know if they are or not there are two sides to it. The animals in captivity have it good, meaning they are constantly waited on “hand and foot” they don’t have to fight for food or worry about their lives being in danger, they are safe. On the other hand doesn’t taking these animals out of their natural habitats, take away the “wild” part. If you take an animal such as a tiger out of the jungle where it has been all its life, you are basically taking a child away from the parents and his/her home. Even if the tiger is young they were meant to be in the wild that’s how it is and should be. I agree that it is a shelter to the species that occupy a zoo and that having certain animals at a zoo can prevent extinction; but animals loose their viciousness and freedom when taken into a zoo, as Pi said “its spirit broken.”
I’m amazed. I look closely, trying to extract personality from appearance. Unfortunately, it’s black and white again and a little out of focus. A photo taken in better days, casually. Richard Parker is looking away. He doesn’t even realize that his picture is being taken.
The opposing page is entirely taken up by a colour photo of the swimming pool of the Aurobindo Ashram. It’s a nice big outdoor pool with clear, sparkling water, a clean blue bottom and an attached diving pool.
The next page features a photo of the front gate of Petit Seminaire school. An arch has the school’s motto painted on it: Nil magnum nisi bonum. No greatness without goodness.(87)
Yann Martel is an amazing writer. He brings everything to life and so realistic. In this excerpt he is sitting down with Pi Patel and they are looking at old photos. While reading this I could picture every photo in my head. This is an example of imagery. He describes the photo of Richard Parker as “black and white and a little out of focus.” He also describes the Aurobindo Ashram swimming pool as one that is “a big outdoor pool with clear, sparkling water.” Mr. Martel possess some great writing abilities and there is no doubt in my mind that he is one of the most elite writers of my time and perhaps of all time.
'"It was a pool the gods would have delighted to swim in. Molitar had the best competitive swimming club in Paris. There were two pools, and indoor and an outdoor. They were big as small oceans. The indoor pool always had two lanes reserved for swimmers who wanted to do lengths. The water was so clean and clear you could have used it to make your morning coffee."'
(11)
I think that the use of the simile for describing to swimming pools as two oceans really puts the pools at at higher level importance for Pi and Mamaji. It really shows how swimming is such a big part of Pi's life. And then the name of the pool its self is very important, Piscine Molitar, Pi's name , once again show how big of a part that swimming plays if they were willing to name their child after a swimming pool. Also how Martel describes tho pool, it makes it sound so magical and like a really relaxing place to be.
“Just beyond the ticket booth Father had had painted on a wall in bright red letters the question: DO YOU KNOW WHICH IS THE MOST DANGEROUS ANIMAL IN THE ZOO? An arrow pointed to a small curtain. There were so many eager, curious hands that pulled at the curtain that we had to replace it regularly. Behind it was a mirror “(31).
I thought this part in the book was amusing because I can relate to it. The question Pi’s dad asks is intriguing and fills everyone with curiosity. If I went to the zoo and saw that question, I would definitely walk up to that curtain and pull it open. I would be shocked to see a mirror because before this book I never would have thought of humans being the most dangerous animals in the zoo, but I agree. Humans do terrible thing to animals. We taunt them, try to get their attention by throwing things at them or poking them, and we feed them things that are harmful to them. Pi has persuaded me to believe that zoo’s are actually good for animals (if run properly) and I am looking forward to finishing this book.

I agree with LeAnn that this part of the book is amusing and interesting. You would never think that the most dangerous animal in the zoo is a human being. I thought it was clever how he put up a sign and had arrows pointing to a curtain that had a mirror behind it. This made people wonder and anxious to find out what really WAS the most dangerous animal in the zoo, only to find themselves staring at their own reflection. The book says that the curtains were pulled open so many times that they had to be fixed quite frequently. I would have never guessed that a human would be the most dangerous animal, but after reconsidering it, i can see how we could be. Many animal extinctions are a result of what we humans have done to this earth. We are a threat to many animals. This part of the book shows how animals fascinate people and how people are always wanting to learn more and more about them, and also how we need to learn about ourselves and put ourselves in the shoes of the animals and realize how much of a threat we may be to some of them.
Well, since I don't have the book available... Some wedding I forgot about this weekend... Whoops... So I'm going to try to describe how the literary devices from the monster island scene helped...
He described how the pools were a clear, deep blue, when Pi expected shallow pools that looked like seawater. Yann used many analogies about meerkats, saying they were lined up by the millions and millions, like a sea of brown. In the trees they formed a "warm sweaty collar" around his neck when they slept with him. The whole island scene is described in such detail that the reader can place himself right beside Pi from the first time he steps onto the algae to the rapid escape off the man eating island!
Yann does an EXCELLENT job in describing every scene in the novel, creating some of the most vivid mental pictures I have seen in a book to date.
"Just beyond the ticket booth Father had had painted on a wall in bright red letters the question: DO YOU KNOW WHICH IS THE MOST DANGEROUS ANIMAL IN THE ZOO? An arrow pointed to a small curtain. There were so many eager, curious hand that pulled at the curtain that we had to replace it regularly. Behind it was a mirror.
I think that Pi’s father doing this is rather funny. I understand that he is trying to make a statement but how he did it is hilarious. Even by doing this some of the people that went and looked under the curtain probably still did not get it. It is amazing how many horrible things humans have done to animals in zoos. As Pi was telling us about all the things he has witnessed and he has heard about it amused me. Because whether these stories are really true or made up you know that in the world someone has done something at least similar to them.
"But even animals that were bred in zoos and have never known the wild, that are perfectly adapted to their encclosures and fed no tension in the presence of humans, will have moments of excitement that push them to seek escape. All living things contain a measure of madness that moves them in strange, soetimes inexplicable ways. This madness can be saving; it is part and parcel of the ability to adapt. Without it, no species would survive." p40-41
I find this excerpt to be particularly enticing because it relates not only humans to animals but to all other living things. I find that the best books are the ones in which the writer displays a connection between the book and the real world no matter how out there it is. It demonstrates that however well bred anyone of us is there is still a part of us (even if it is so small we do not realize) that wants to escape from doing the same thing day after day, that all living things crave to have something more. I personally am always looking for something new to experience no matter how frightening it may be.
"Whatever the reason for wanting to escape, sane or insane, zoo detractors should realize that animals dont escape to Somewhere but from Something. Something within their territory has frightened them the intrusion of an enemy, the assault of a dominant animal, a startling noise and set off a flight reaction."
I found this specific excerpt to be truly remarkable. Animals in there minds are mearly being treated with great care, and that they dont want to leave the greatness and virtue that has been bestowed upon them in any particular zoo. But rather a tiny misplacement of anything within there rather Impermeable territory, can set them off and cause them to do what they would rather not which is flee out of being shearly scared of a change in surroundings.
"Don't we say, 'There's no place like home'? That's certainly what animals feel. Animals are territorial. THat is the key to their minds. Only a familiar territory will allow them to fulfill the two relentless imperatives of the wild: the avoidance of enemies and the getting of food and water. A biologically sound zoo enclosure-whether cage, pit, moated island, corral, terrarium, aviary or aquarium-is just another territory, is just another territory, peculiar only in its size and in its proximity to human territory. That it is so much smaller than what it would be in nature stands to reason. Territories in the wild are large not as a matter of taste but of necessity. In a zoo, we do for animals what we have done for ourselves with houses: we bring together in a small space what in the wild is spread out (17)."
This passage I believe is a great metaphor used by Yann Martel. Up untill I read this passage I agreed with the view that zoos are harsh on animals and that they would much rather be out in the wild, in their natural habitats. Whenever I went to zoos I thought the animals looked depressed and bored. After reading this passage out of Life of Pi, I have now seen a different perspective. I now have changed my view on zoos completely. Animals are very territorial, and now I have realized that zoos probably are the ideal living conditions for animals. Comparing zoos to the homes of humans is genious. Sometimes I say that I hate being home, but if I have been away on a long trip, or had a bad experience somewhere being home is the only place I want to be. A person's home is theirs, if someone uninvited was to come in, the envirionment would be disrupted and their would be a sense or awkwardness, or tension. By ready only the first twenty pages of Yann Martel's novel, he has changed my way of thinking. I am excited to keep on reading and see what other interesting points of view he brings forward.
“ “I’m going to show you how dangerous tigers are,” he continued. “I want you to remember this lesson for the rest of your lives.” … Babu unlocked, opened, entered, closed and locked a cage next to the tigers’ cage. Bars and a trapdoor separated the two. Immediately Mahisha was up against the dividing bars, pawing them. To his growling he now added explosive, arrested woofs…” (34-35)
In this passage Pi’s dad is trying to teach his brother and him a lesson. To me it seems to be to much for how old the boys are. Though with the way it is written you can see yourself in the scene experiencing what is taking place. It is obvious what is to come. Though this lesson is to save the boys lives by teaching them to be cautious and not to comfortable around some animals. To me this is somewhat amusing because I see it as one of the worse things that the father could have done. Because at some point children seem to always want to be right or learn from their own mistakes. This could encourage them to be cautious but at the same time daring. I know for a fact that my cousins would go and do the opposite of what was shown to them. Such as playing with matches or touch electrical fences. With both of these it seemed that all of use pushed the boundaries. We were told not to touch the fence but we dared each other to do so in order for us to see who could touch or hold on for the longest. As for the matches wee set the shed on fire at a family gathering. We all knew that we were not supposed to be doing what we were. So here you have these two boys who were told not to go near or get to comfortable around this tiger, daring each other who could go the closest.
"The literature contains reports on the many torments inflicted upon zoo animals: a shoebill dying of shock after having its beak smashed with a hammer; a moose stag losing its beard, along with a strip of flesh the size of an index finger, to a visitor's knife (this same moose was poisoned six months later); a monkey's arm broken after reaching out for proffered nuts; a deer's antlers attacked with a hacksaw; a zebra stabbed with a sword; and other assaults on other animals, with walking sticks, umbrellas, hairpins, knitting needles, scissors and whatnot, often with an aim to taking an eye out or to injuring sexual parts. Animals are also poisoned."(29)
I wasn't 100% sure what a literary device was so I double clicked on the blog and it told me a literary device may be used in works of literature in order to produce a specific effect on the reader.
This excerpt in the novel made me sad when I read it. It made me feel so bad for the animals because they didn't do anything wrong. When I read this I stopped and literally had to make myself finish.
"Tigers are very dangerous." Father shouted. "I want you to understand that you are never-under any circumstances-to touch a tiger, to pet a tiger, to put your hands throuh the bars of a cage, even to get close to a cage."
"I'm going to show you how dangerous tigers are," he continued. "I want you to remember this lesson for the rest of your lives."
This excerpt is interesting to me becuase I think it was a bit extreme of pi's father to do this. But it was probably best they learn this way then by getting one of their limbs bitten off. Im pretty sure that if I was shown this by one of my parents I would have been scared of the zoo for the rest of my life. But the boys needed to learn that the zoo is not a park. It is very dangerous and they need to be aware of what can happen to you if your not careful or rough house with the animals
“I have heard nearly as much nonsense about zoos as I have about God and religion. Well-meaning but misinformed people think animals in the wild are “happy” because they are “free.” These people usually have a large, handsome predator in mind, a lion or a cheetah (the life of a gnu or of an aardvark is rarely exalted). They imagine this wild animal roaming about the savannah on digestive walks after eating a prey that accepted its lot piously, or going for callisthenic runs to stay slim after overindulging. They imagine this animal overseeing its offspring proudly and tenderly, the whole family watching the setting of the sun from the limbs of trees with sighs of pleasure.”
Hahaha I’m not going to lie, this is kind of what I thought about animals in the wild but now that he explains it this way it does make sense. I find it amusing because we have been a little brainwashed to think that the true wild is something like the “Lion King” or something out of a Disney movie. But it’s not; it’s a struggle to survive. Survival of the fittest is real and people who say putting animals in zoos is cruel, they’re wrong. I now believe that animals do like it in zoos and that’s how it should be. Lol that way they won’t go extinct at least.
"To me, it was paradise on earth. I have nothing but the fondest memories of growing up in a zoo. I lived the life of a prince. What maharaja's son had such vast, luxuriant grounds to play about? What palace had such a menagerie?My alarm clock during my childhood was a pride of lions. They were no Swiss clocks, but the lions could be counted upon to roar their heads off between five-thirty and six every morning. Breakfast was puncuated by the shrieks and cries of howler monkeys, hill mynahs and Moluccan cockatoos." (pg 14)
This piece amuses me because of the different noises Pi wakes to. What child wakes to the sound of lions roaring in the morning? Given some people do wake to this noise in Africa but this is a child that lives inside of a bigger size town. Also as move through this section of the book he goes on to talk about how he is greeted by every animal in the zoo on his way to school. I think this would be cool way to live as a young child. Especially since little children have such a fascination with animals.
This passage also has a sense of imagery. The type that deals with sounds. As I read this passage I can hear the lions roaring and the shrieks and cries of the other animals waking in the morning. It makes me want to be there to experience this sensation of waking to the roar of lions.
How does it survive, you might ask.
Precisely by being so slow. Sleepiness and slothfulness keep it out of harm's way, away from the notice of jaguars, ocelots, harpy eagles and anacondas. A sloth's hairs shelter an algae that is brown during the dry season and green during the wet season, so the animal blends in with the surrounding moss and foliage and looks like a nest of white ants or of squirrels, or like nothing at all but part of a tree
I found this excerpt of Yann Martel’s Life of Pi to be pretty interesting. Before reading this I never knew how sloths keep away from danger and don’t just become extinct. But it makes sense now that they are just so slow that danger looks past them. I think it would be funny to go to the jungle and wake up a sloth to see what it does. Its interesting how a sloth survives opposite of the way humans survive. We survive by becoming educated and learning to quickly get out of the way of danger. If a human were to try to survive the way of a sloth it would most likely be homeless and have no food. In the long run human living is more satisfying then sloth’s even though many humans would like to live like a sloth.
"There are always those who take it upon themselves to defend God, as if ultimate reality, as if the sustaining frame of existence, were something weak and helpless. These people walk by a widow deformed by leprosy begging for a few paise, walk by children dressed in rags living in the street, and they think, 'Business as usual.' But if they perceive a slight against God it is a different story. Their faces go red, their chests heave mightily, they sputter angry words. The degree of their indignation is astonishing. Their resolve is frightening. These people fail to realize that it is on the inside that God must be defended, not on the outside. They should direct their anger at themselves. For evil in the open is but evil from within that has been let out. The main battlefield for good is not the open ground of the public arena, but the small clearing of each heart." (70-71)
Often times people will think that if they say that they are something they are automatically that something. They put forth no effort besides a simple statement to their cause. We live in a hypocritical world. How many people that say they are Christians actually pray? How many people attend church on sunday to take a nap? This goes for all sorts of things. In our society people lie without remorse. They have no problem saying "I swear to God" while telling a boldface lie. Often times we can even lie to people we care about the most in our lives just to better ourselves. What's the point of saying we are something when we are obviously not?
"Before moving to Pondicherry, Father ran a large hotel in Madras. An abiding interest in animals led him to the zoo business. A natural transition, you might think, from hotelkeeping to zookeeping. Not so. In many ways, running a zoo is a hotelkeeper's worst nightmare. Consider: the guests never leave their rooms;; they expect not only lodging but full board; they receive a constant flow of visitors, some of whom are noisy and unruly. One has to wait until they saunter to their balconies, so to speak, before one can clean their rooms, and then one has to wait until they tire of the view and return to their rooms before one can clean their balconies; and there is much cleaning to do, for the guests are as unhygienic as alcoholics. Each guest is very particular about his or her diet, constantly complains about the slowness of the service, and never, ever tips. To speak frankly, many are sexual deviants, either terribly repressed and subject to explosions of frenzied lasciviousness or openly depraved, in either case regularly affronting management with gross outrages of free sex and incest."
i think this shows alot of literary techniques. the first being a simple comparison. the author is comparing a hotel and the neccesities required to keep a hotel in operation to a zoo and its needs. the second part of this is the comparison of people in a hotel to animals in a zoo. in this second comparison their is some personification used. the author tells of animals needing their rooms cleaned by room service and of the animals having visitors. the way the author presents this is kinda unique. an animal does actually need its cage cleaned and does have vistors. however, the author talks about it in such a way that one would think he is describing a human.
"In zoos, as in nature, the best times to visit are sunrise and sunset. That is when most animals come to life. They sir and leave their shelter and tiptoe to the water's edge. They show their raiments. They sing their songs. They turn to each other and perform their rites. The reward for the watching eye and listening ear is great. I spent more hours than I can count a quiet witness to the highly mannered, manifold expressions of life that grace our planet. It is something so bright, loud, wierd and delicate as to stupefy the senses."
I think the author uses good literary devices to explain himself in this paragraph. He uses a lot of big words to describe how peaceful and how quiet it is. I think this gives you a good picture in your mind of what the zoo looks like at night, the author is basically saying that in the morning and at night is when the zoo really comes to life. I think the author really describes himself neatly and really paints a picture in your head. It is a good scene to have because you have to visualize, which out of the six reading stradegies this is the one that helps me the most, in reading books, because it helps me understad it more.
"Just beyond the ticket booth Father had had painted on a wall in bright red letters the question: DO YOU KNOW WHICH IS THE MOST DANGEROUS ANIMAL IN THE ZOO? An arrow pointed to a small curtain. There were so many eager, curious hands that pulled at the curtain that we had to replace it regularly. Behind it was a mirror."
I absolutely love this part in the book because all of those people that were so curious to know which animal it was that was the most dangerous in the zoo happens to be them. I find it interesting how Pi says that most of the accidents in the zoo, relating to the animals, have to do with humans. How humans hurt animals either by killing them, throwing stones at them, or giving them food. I found it interesting that the animals at the zoo can't just have anything they want for food and that they get sick just like us humans. I enjoyed this part in the book the best.
"One such time I left town and on my way back, at a point where the land was high and I could see the sea to my left adn down the road ways, I suddenly felt I was in heaven. The spot was in fact no different from when I had passed it not long before, but my way of seeing it had changed. The feeling, a paradoxical mix of pulsing energy and profound peace, was intense and blissful."(62)
This same feeling happend to me when I was on my way to and way back from Colorado because being so high in elevation makes you feel that you are in heaven. When I was in Colorado I did not feel like leaving because it was so peaceful and adventures. The author of this book does an excellent job of explaining his feelings of enjoyment and pleasures of life. As I continue reading I think this book will get more and more interesting as long as Yann Martel explains this book in detail.
"I would like to say in my own defence that though I may have anthrompomorphized the animals till they spoke fluent English, the pheasants complaining in uppity British accents of their tea being cold and the baboons planning their band robbery getaway in the flat, meanacing tones of American gangsters, the fancy was always conscious. I quite deliberately dressed wild animals in tame costumes of my imagination. But I never deluded myself as to the real nature of my playmates."
To me this selection of words describes the creativi hat Yann Martel puts into his work. It goes into saying how animals are just like people. Pi gives the animals human characteristics yet at the same time he truly knows that they are quite dangerous enough to kill him. This selection of words at the same time is humorous and wity to me as it describes animals with such odd characteristics such as pheasants drinking English tea.
"The zebra was still alive. I couldnt believe it. It had two foot wide hole in its body, a fistula like a freshly errupted volcano, spewed half eaten organs glistening in the light or giving off a dull, dry shine, yet, in its strickly essential parts, it continued to pump with life, if weakly. Movement was confined to a tremor in the rear leg and an occasional blinking of the eyes. I was horrified. I had no idea a living being could sustain so much injury and go on living." p128
This excerpt is one that catches my attention becuase of all the detail that the author uses to desrcibe the scene. The morality that is being portrayed is one of a helpless animal begging to be put out of its misery, a mercy killing if you will. The fact that Pi has feelings of anger but at the same time remorse is astonishing because he is at the bottom of the food chain just like the zebra. He must survive and therefore can not feel guilt or remorse for the zebra because he is happy that it means his life is safe, for now. I love all the life lessons that are involved in this novel, the questions of religion, faith, and life ceases to amaze me. The last line of the excerpt for example, "I never knew a living being could sustain that much pain and continue to live" Pi is learning things about life and the natural order of things and how if one has the will to live, man or beast, you can suprise yourself with what kind of inhuman pain and suffering you can bear, much like the pain that Christ endured.
Chapter 62: pg 187
"i tasted the water. It tasted it again. It was salt free. 'My sweet sea cow!' i exclaimed to solar still. "You've produced, and how! What a delicious milk. Mind you, a little rubbery, but i'm not complaining. why, look at me drink!' I finished the bag. It had a cpacity of one litre and was nearly full. After a moment of sigh-producing, shut-eyed satisfaction, i reattached the pouch."
I like this quote because it shows that Pi is starting to appreciate the human advantage, and how lucky he is that he is not an animal and thinks for himself. He realizes that the water still is an advantage to him. The imagery in this excerpt is amazing because you can almost see this boy reaching into the water and pulling out the water stills, and then when he is done drinking how statisfied he feels because i can relate to it. I can relate to it in situations like tennis and marching band when it is hot out and you finally get to go for a water break, but you cant stay relaxed for very long because there is work to be done.
"We commonly say in the trade that the most dangerous animal in a zoo is Man. In a general way we mean how our species' excessive predatoriness has made the entire planet our prey. More specifically, we have in mind the people who feed fishhooks, razors, safety pins....The obituary of zoo animals that have died from being fed foreign bodies would include gorillas, bison, bears, camels, elephants...."(29)
.
This part in the book almost makes me cry. I can’t understand how a person could do this to an animal. I love animals so much and try to take care of them. I feel so bad for some animals because they didn’t do anything, and they get harmed. I feel bad saying this, but in a movie when an animal and a person die, I will cry over the animal and not the human. I can’t help how I feel. I have a huge heart for animals and it hurts me when people abuse them. Some people treat animals like toys, and they are so much more than that. People need to respect and take care of animals, otherwise someday when certain animals are extinct, they will regret it.
-One might even argue that if an animal could choose with intelligence, it would opt for living in a zoo, since the major difference between a zoo and the wild is the absence of parasites and enemies and the abundance of food in the first and the respective abundance and scarcity in the second. Think about it yourself. Would you rather be put up at the Ritz with free room service and unlimited access to a doctor of be homeless without a soul to care for you?
-This made me think to myself and wonder what it would be like to live homeless with noone to care for you. It also made me think if i were an animal what one i would choose. I use to think that zoos were bad for animals and that they shouldn't be locked up and be out in the wild. But after reading this book it has changed my mind. When the animals are in the wild they have to worry about being prey and dying. But if they were in the zoo they don't have to worry about that and would be safe with the other animals plus food for no work, and doctors. So far this book has made me think alot!!
“Just beyond the ticket booth Father had had painted on a wall in bright red letters the question: DO YOU KNOW WHICH IS THE MOST DANGEROUS ANIMAL IN THE ZOO? An arrow pointed to a small curtain. There were so many eager, curious hands that pulled at the curtain that we had to replace it regularly. Behind it was a mirror “(31).
I aggree with the two scholars that wrote on this subject.
I have to say that so far what I have read this is the most appealing to me and amuses me the most. In the zoo the average person might think that the most dangerouse animal in the zoo might be a poisonous snake or a tiger with enormous teeth or something along that order but its not. The most dangersous animal in the zoo and in the world is a human being. Humans are not only cruel to animals, but they are also cruel to others of there own kind. Humans are beast, some kill for payback or just pure fun, the rush of killing another human being. If I were to look behing a curtain thinking i was going to see an animal and only saw a mirror i wouldnt be appauled, i would realize that it is true, humans are the most dangerous animal in the zoo.
"What's this I hear about a nickname you have?" he said. I kept silent. Because whatever mocking was to come, it was to come. There was no avoiding it. I didn't realize you liked the colour yellow so much." The coulor yellow? I looked around. No one must hear what he was about to say, especially not one of his lackeys. "Ravi, what doyou mean?" I whispered.
It's all right with me, brother. Anthying's better that 'Pessing'. Even L'Lemon Pie.(23)
I choose this this exert because i found it realy funny. I had this same problem when i am at school. If you didnt know my last name is laycock. it has hte word cock in it. When i was in middle school many teachers were afraid to pronounce my last name. On the first day of school in Mr. Tietgen's class he was going through everyones name. when he got to mine he looked at me with a blank stare and just called me LAY. The whole class found it funny. and so did i. I can realate to what PI went through. I hope i can keep on realating to this book and plan to enjoy it.
"We commonly say in the trade that the most dangerous animal in a zoo is Man. In a general way we mean how our species' excessive predatoriness has made the entire planet our prey...Among zookeepers, Goliath's death is famous; he was a bull elephant seal, a great big venerable beast of two tons, star of his European zoo, loved by all visitors. He died of internal bleeding after someone fed him a broken beer bottle.
I find this excerpt amusing to me because he is talking about how the most dangerous animal in Man. There are so many crazy things that humans do to animals that it makes it unreal. Some people just dont know how to use their heads when it comes to dealing with animals. Pi is right, humans have made their predatoriness throughout our entire planet our prey. We just think that we rule the world and there is no stopping and no effects to actions. He is so right in saying this, that i found it rather amusing.
"Getting animals used to the presence of humans is at the heart of the art and science of zookeeping. The key aim is to diminish an animal's flight distance, which is the minimum distance at which an animal wants to keep a perceived enemy. A flamingo in the wild won't mind you if you stay more than three hundred yards away. Cross that limit and it becomes tense. Get even closer and you trigger a flight reaction from which the bird will not cease until the three-hundred-yard limit is set again, or until the heart and lungs fail."
When I read this excerpt on page 39, I immediately could relate to it. In my opinion, anyone could relate to it. Everyone has their own "bubble space", a space in which if entered the person immediately feels uncomfortable, like they are being violated somehow. There are also physical bubble spaces and psychological bubble spaces. Some people feel really uncomfortable talking about sex because they keep it within their bubble, while others can talk about sex all day to anyone. Physical bubbles are exactly what Pi was talking about with the flamingo, then. I think it’s an amazing part of the book that shows a similarity between humans and animals.
"with sudden ease the trapdoor slid open. Silence fell again, except for bleating and the click-click of the goat's hooves against the floor. A streak of black and orange flowed from one cage to the next. Normally the big cats were not given good one day a week, to simulate conditions in the wild. We found out later that Father had ordered that Mahisha not be fed for three days." (35)
I found this excerpt to be interesting and intense. While reading this part of the book i was woundering why the tiger didnt just pounce all over the goat right away. Also i thought that it was a weird lesson to be teaching two young children. If my father ever made me watch a tiger tear apart a goat at the age of eight i think i would have cryed and been tramatized for life. I have a feeling that this scene may be an important part to the book just becasue later on Pi meets richard and he is a tiger.
"I told him I like spicy food. I don't know why I said such a stupid thing. It's a complete lie. I add dallop of yogurt after dollop of yougurt. Nothing doing. Each time it's the same: my taste buds shrivel up and die, my skin goes beet red, my eyes well up with tears, my head feels like a house on fire, and my digestive tract starts to twist and groan in agony like a boa constrictor that has swallowed a lawn mower." (42-43)
This whole section uses great imagry and is funny. You can really understand how spicy this food really is, and you can really feel the agony of the author. You see how red his skin gets, and feel how his head feels. And it is a little funny because we can relate to the situation. We have all been polite out of curdiousy, and now the author feels like a boa who has swallowed a lawn mower. We have all been put into some sort of uncomfortable position for politness, such as when we go to our grandparents house and eat their crappy candy becuase they offer it to us. That's another reason why this book is so good. It's convincing. I think it's real, there is convincing characters as well as convincing science. There are observations made by Pi in his youth that I can relate to becuase I have noticed or questioned some of the same thing he does in this novel.
I booted up the hill. Thought Father Martin was not IN-alas, his block was slid over-thanks God he was in. Short of breath I said, “Father, I would like to be a Christian, please.” He smiled. “You already are, Piscine-in your heart. Whoever meets Christ in good faith is a Christian. Here in Munnar you met Christ…” I entered the church, without fear this time, for it was now my house too. I offered prayers to Christ, who is alive. Then I raced down the hill on the left and raced up the hill on the right-to offer thanks to Lord Krishna for having put Jesus of Nazareth, whose humanity I found so compelling, in my way. (57-58)
This is amusing to me in a couple of ways. First I am very happy Yann Martel got it so perfect in his righting when he says becoming a Christian do not mean you have to ask some one to make you a Christian but it all happens when the spirit of God moves you to the understanding of what Jesus did for us. The second way it is amusing to me is in a very bad way. After Pi says he has turned his life over to Jesus he runs up another hill to thank his Hindu god for leading him to Jesus. Pi really does not get what it is to be a Christian not saying I know every thing about Christianity because I am not a perfect Christian but I do know that if your heart truly comes to God you will see your other gods are just material gods and that they have no power over anything.
Page 25 chapter 7
"The top of his head was bald and pointy, yet he had the most impressive jowls i have ever seen, and his narrow shoulders gave way to a massive stomach that looked like the base of a mountain, except that the mountain stood in thin air, for it stripped abruptly and disappeared horizontally into his pants.....His construction was geometric: he looked like two triangles, a small one and a larger one, balanced on two parallel lines"
Mr. Martel is the most imaginative author have ever read. He gives the reader a picturesque detail of Mr. Kumar. The way he uses personification, similes, and metaphors enlightens the reader. The reason I choose this specific excerpt is because I can relate. I know adults that resemble Mr. Kumar. Yann paints a mental picture for the reader. Imaginary is a very important aspect to this novel. I can just picture burly triangular shaped Indian man;wattling, not walking,around the zoo enjoying the animals. I think as a reader you dive into this fictional world that allows your mind to wander and explore and that wouldn't be possible if it weren't for Yann Martel's experienced writing.
"God is universal," spluttered the priest.
The imam nodded strong approval. "There is only one God."
"And with their one god Muslims are always causing and provoking riots. The proof of how bad Islam is, is how uncivilized Muslims are," pronounced the pandit.
"Says the slave-driver of the caste system," huffed the imam. "Hindus enslave people and worship dressed-up dolls."
"They are golden calf lovers. They kneel before cows," the priest chimed in.
"While Christians kneel before a white man! They are the flunkies of a foreign god. They are the nightmare of all non-white people." (pg. 68)
I found this amusing because I would never think to hear of spiritual leaders bashing each other. Normally, you think of religious leaders spreading words kindness, openess, and understanding. Instead here they are spreading words of hate,selfishness, and ignorance...its relatable to watching a political commercial. I thought that at this meeting, the leaders would say that they admire Pi wanting to embark on a realtionship with God (which they do), but I didn't expect the leaders to compete with each other for Pi's recruitment. Rather, I expected them to stand back and tell Pi to follow whatever is in his heart, not fill his head with negative comments about their counterparts.
"The water was so clean and clear you could have used it to make your morning coffee. Wooden changing cabins, bule and white, surrounded the pool on two floors. You could look down and see everyone and everything. The porters who marked your cabin door with chalk to show that it was occupied were limping old men, friendly in an ill-tempered was. No amount of shouting and tomfoolery ever ruffled them. The showers gushed hot, soothing water. There was a stem room and an exercise room. The outside pool became a skating rink in winter... Mamaji remembered, Father dreamed." page 11-12
this is an amazing use of words to draw a picture. it is almost like you are there. he describes every little detail to show what the pool looked like. he uses such detail, i think to show how much mamaji truly loved the pool. he uses so much detail because mamaji remembered so much. if you really like to be soomewhere you can remember every little detail about it. i think it is like the movie happy gilmore when the character Happy goes to his "happy place". he knows every thing about the place. he know whats supposed to be where, it calms him. this is mamaji's happy place. it is his escape. when he wants to get away he just thinks about going back to this place. i think it also realtes to the book "the giver" because mamaji shares his memories like the giver in the book shares his memories with the boy. the father uses the books to escape as well even though he never expierenced them. the boy in the book that becomes the giver, the one who holds all the memories of good and bad things in a place where it is almost like that of 1984 with no color and no personal rights, also uses the memories given to him to escape from the cold and other things he feels that he wishes to get away from.
"But what can you do when you love your father? Life goes on and you don't touch tigers. Except that now for having accused Ravi of an unspecified crime he hadn't committed, I was as good as dead. In years subsequent, when he was in the mood to terrorize me, he would whisper to me, "Just wait till we're alone. You're the next goat!" (pg. 38)
I thought that this part was kind of interesting because it starts out all happy then it says that he is as good as dead. Then he is terrorizing him and basically says that he is next in line for something. It puts a good picture in my head on how well Martel writes because as i read it all i can imagine it better then i did from 1984.
Just beyond the ticket booth Father had had painted on a wall in bright red letters the question: DO YOU KNOW WHICH IS THE MOST DANGEROUS ANIMAL IN THE ZOO? An arrow pointed to a small curtain. There were so many eager, curious hands that pulled at the curtain that we had to replace it regularly. Behind it was a mirror. Page 31
So far this is the most interesting part of the book that has stuck out at me. Most people reading that question in a zoo wouldn’t have a human come to mind. I would think a lion or another dangerous animal would pop into your head. Humans are the cruelest animal. They are cruel to other animals and their same species. It’s sad because humans know they are hurting another but they don’t think about it or care. We know how to hurt another person and were pretty good at it. If I were to be looking in that mirror I would have to agree with what I see.
“Just beyond the ticket booth Father had had painted on a wall in bright red letters the question: DO YOU KNOW WHICH IS THE MOST DANGEROUS ANIMAL IN THE ZOO? An arrow pointed to a small curtain.

This part is interesting because it really grabs the attention of the people at the zoo. I know that if I saw that same sign and a curtain that I would defenitely take a look. I found it really surprising that the most dangerous animal is humans. I think that humans are be dangerous because not only can we physically overpower some animals we can also outsmart most animals. This part was interesting because my initial thought was a lion, bear, or some other large predator.
Ms. Petersen wrote: "Whatever the reason for wanting to escape, sane or insane, zoo detractors should realize that animals don't escape to somewhere but from something. Something within their territory has frightened them--the intrusion of an enemy, the assault of a dominant animal, a startling noise--and set off a flight reaction. The animal flees, or tries to. I was surprised to read at the Toronto Zoo-- a very fine zoo, I might add-- that leopards can jump eighteen feet straight up. Our leopard enclosure in Pondicherry had a wall sixteen feet high at the back; I surmise that Rosie and Copycat never jumped out not because of constitutional weakness but simply because they had no reason to. Animals that escape go from the know into the unknown-- and if there is one thing an animal hates above all else, it is the unknown. Escaping animals usually hide in the very first place they find that gives them sense of security, and they are dangerous only to those who happen to get between them and their reckoned safe spot.
I love this piece because it relates to humans also. When a human get scared them flea same as a animal. Animals are so much like human that people over look it. They see a thing that walk on two legs and is covered in fur when they should be looking at what the animal behavior is like and how it reacts to certain events. When he talks about how animals don’t try to escape to somewhere but from something, I think is the perfect statement. It give you so much in just very few words. That an animal fleas form something same as a human is genius. Also when I read the part about animals one thing they hate is the unknown, I was blown away. Even when I was writing my paper, on the unknown, I didn’t think to include animals in it. The safe spot to was amazing too, when you are scared the first thing you think of is safety and animals have one even before something bad happens.
"I got up from my desk and hurried to the blackboard. before the teacher could say a word i picked up a piece of chalk and said as i wrote My name is piscine molitor patel, known to all as Pi. for good measure i added 3.14 and drew a large circle, which i then sliced in towo with a diameter, to evoke that basic lesson of geometry. there was silence. the teacher was staring at the board. i was holding my breath. then he said "very well, pi. sit down.next time you will ask permission before leaving your desk." yes sir.
This excerpt tells a lot about the reader. It tells you that Pi is not afraid to speak his mind about things that he wants people to know. His name means alot of course and he wants to put it out there so everyone knows what he wants to be called. Your name is a alot to a persons. The reader can imagine where Pi is coming from. What people call you can have a huge effect on how you look at yourself and what others think of you.
"It was a pool the gods would have delighted to swim in. Molitar had the best competitive swimming club in Paris. There were two pools, and indoor and an outdoor. They were big as small oceans. The indoor pool always had two lanes reserved for swimmers who wanted to do lengths. The water was so clean and clear you could have used it to make your morning coffee."'
I like how Yann Martel goes to the extent to give the reader the exact picture of what is being portrayed. When you read something of his, it is like you are actually there seeing what he is seeing. When I read the previous excerpt, I felt like I was in some sort of a grand palace, over looking the best pools in the world. It reminded me of when I took a trip to California and visted Hearst Castle. The indoor pool made me think of this, http://www.mccullagh.org/db9/d30-26/hearst-castle-interior-swimming-pool.jpg and the outdoor of this, http://www.terragalleria.com/images/us-ca/usca9622.jpeg . The example of the pools and how they are made for gods also gets me to think that Pi is the example of life and religion. By looking at his name, Pi (3.14) I start to wonder if this is a symbol for a circle of life. As I continue to read Life of Pi and think of the meaning of Pi (3.14) I begin to think more and more that everything revolves around Pi, and that he is a great example of life.
He lives in Scarborough. He's a small, slim man -- no more than five foot five. Dark hair, dark eyes. Hair greying at the temples. Can't be older than forty. Pleasing coffee-coloured complexion. Mild fall weather, yet purts on a big winter parka with fur-lined hood for the walk to the diner. Expressive face. Speaks quickly, hands flitting about. No small talk. He launches forth.
Here the author uses fragmented sentences as a clever (and also illegal by high school and college English professors laws of writing) literary device to draw an image of Pi's persona in the reader's mind. The reader not only keeps interested because they aren't reading multiple "Pi was/Pi is/He is" beginnings but also because the words describe Pi in exquisite detail.
"And what a story. The first thing that drew me in was disbelief. What? Humanity sins but it is God's Son who pays the price? I tried to imagine Father saying to me, "Piscne, a lion slpped into the llama pen today and killed two llamms. Yesterday another one killed a black buck. Last week two of them ate a camel. The week before it was painted storks and grey herons... The situation has become intolerable. Something must be done. I have decided the only way the lions can atone for their sins is if I feed you to them."
This quote is the basis of the novel how he takes zoology and relates it to christianity. I find it humoring to me that he is just baffled by this story that Christ would die for our sins and he thinks it is absurd when he compares it to the zoo, no way would it be human to feed your son to the tigers so they can be clear of their sins. But I think that is where science and biology differ in the book, Pi practices three different religions strongly, and he is heavily into Science but no matter what they can't be compared, it is like comparing apples to oranges because religion an expression of certain beliefs or ideas, and even going from the three different religions he practices, there are several things that would be accepted in one, but discouaged in the other, its what you want to believe. Science is hard knowledge, its physical and actual, and has facts to prove its theories. and there is no theory in science that says if you feed your son to the tigers they will be wiped of all their sins, so it seems unusual to us.
“I don’t know if I saw blood before turning into Mother’s arms of if I daubed if on later, in my memory, with a big brush. But I heard. It was enough to scare the living vegetarian daylights out of me. Mother bundled us out. We were in hysterics. She was incensed (P.36).”
I don’t think that Pi’s dad had to show his kids what a tiger can do because that is common sense. I know not to pet a tiger and I only see them in the zoo. I found it interesting how he daubed the memory of seeing the blood in his memory with a big brush. I think that a killing where you can hear the blood is a bit violent to be witnessed by an eight year old. I could see this scene playing over and over in Pi’s mind the whole time he was on the life boat with Richard Parker.
"So it went the first time I saw a Muslim pray - quick, necessary, physical, muttered, striking. Next time I was praying in church - on my knees, immobile, silent before Christ on the Cross - the image of this callisthenic communion with God in the middle of bags of flour kept coming to my mind."
This paragraph touched me. If you think you can't change someones life by praying you are wrong. That certain muslim changed Pi. He started to pray wherever he may of gone. This novel is about Christianity and how it compares with the zoo. You can actually picture what Pi is doing. This part portrayes the novel very well.
“Just beyond the ticket booth Father had had painted on a wall in bright red letters the question: DO YOU KNOW WHICH IS THE MOST DANGEROUS ANIMAL IN THE ZOO? An arrow pointed to a small curtain. There were so many eager, curious hands that pulled at the curtain that we had to replace it regularly. Behind it was a mirror “(31).
This was interesting because it shows how the arrow captures the attention and ammusment of the zoos vistors. I would agree that humans are the most dangerous animals because we kill each other and purposly try to hurt each other because they did something that we didnt like to us or just for the helk of it. Humans are the only animals in the world that do this to each other, all of the other animals are either herbavores or they kill other animals for food to stay alive not understanding that the other animal is in pain. This excerpt throws you for a lope because you get excited to know which animal is the most dangerous then it reveals yourself.
“Just beyond the ticket booth Father had had painted on a wall in bright red letters the question: DO YOU KNOW WHICH IS THE MOST DANGEROUS ANIMAL IN THE ZOO? An arrow pointed to a small curtain.

I believe this passage uses situational irony. What the reader expects to happen or be behind the curtain and what actually is there are often two different things. Although I was able to predict that it was man due to some of the discussions we had in class and a quote from Twain on one of our ‘check if you agree’ sheets, many people may have not guessed this. If this is the case, it would have been a spark in their minds causing them to think: something that is always good. The passage is also slightly amusing in the fact that we know we are the most dangerous animal and we don’t really care. We like being powerful and the ones in charge. We even enjoy hurting animals and make games out of it. It is alright to be dangerous, but it is how we use that power of fear that is the definitive quality that separates each human being.
Once this moving ritual is done; and hte animal has settled, it wil not feel likea nervous tenant, and even less like a prsoner, but rather like a land holder, and it will behave in the same way within its enclosure as it would in its territory in the wild, inluding defending it tooth and nail should it be invaded. (18)
--- If liteary devices didnt exist then this sentence wouldnt be this amazing. It explains how an animal can get comfortable with any situtaion it is put in and by Yann being able to use all of these devices he can express to us that an animal can be related to a person. He is very good iwth metaphors and with personifications. by using peronifications Yann can help th readers relate to the animals and give them human feelings so that the reader can almost put themselves into the animals mind-set. I love this book. =)
sorry for the lateness, i didnt know this blog existed!

This part is very true. Animals are not likely to just eat you for no reason. They have to be aggitated for that to happen and people like to aggitate them. Ive seen countless times where people bang on the glass or throw things into the cage. Ive also seen them try to feed them wierd things. People are the main reason they get attacked or animals get sick. I also like this part of the book where he is explaining all about zoos and how they are good for animals. He makes a very good point, they are living in suites, constant room serivice and always cared for.
"You see these guinea pigs?' 'Yes, father.' The creatures were trembling with weakness as they frantically nibbled their kernels of corn. 'Well . . . 'he leaned down and scooped one up. 'They're not dangerous.' The other guinea pigs scattered instantly. Father laughed. He handed me the squealing guinea pig. He meant to end on a light note."
i agree with richard this was a very funny part of the book after he showed him the tiger to make his point not to poke around also it shows that he wanted to be a little bit funny i find that pi's father does have a good heart but he wanted to make his point across but showing the ginnea pigs is very funny in my point of wiew
my appoigizes for not doing this sooner much like andrea i didnt not know this exicted until i got a zero on it
"It was my turn. Time to put down Satan. Medina, here I come.
I got up from my desk and hurried to the blackboard. Before the teacher could say a word, I picked up a piece of chalk and said as a I wrote: My name is Piscine Molitor Patel, known to all as -I double underlined the first two letters of my given name- Pi Patel. For good measure I added: Pi=3.14 and I drew a large circle, which I then sliced in two with a diameter, to evoke that basic lesson of geometry.
I thought this part was amusing, because people do not usually walk up in the middle of class to explain their name in such detail. If someone did that in our class, I would think they were crazy.You would not think that a person would make a diagram to explain their name, even though it is a good idea to explain the difference between that pi and the food pie, like his brother did. He called him Lemon Pie. The other kids all had weird names too, so it probably was not necessary to go up and explain it. The other kids had names that they probably get mixed up and are called different things.
"A Muslim! A devout Hindu, all right, I can understand. A Christian in addition, it's getting to be a bit strange, but I can stretch my mind. The Christians have been here for a long time- Saint Thomas, Saint Francis Xavier, the missionaries and so on. We owe them good schools (75)."
This passage from Life of Pi shows societies effects on the youth of our world. The young teens are being influenced by their peers and adults in their lives. These people are trying to conform the youth to be what they want them to be. The adults are trying to change the ways young people think and trying to change the ways we are brought up and want us to be just like them. Some adults need to step off and let teens do what they want to do and just be there for social guidence and not to pressure us to go different directions that are not right for us.

Today, I went to the beach with my children.
I found a sea shell and gave it to my 4 year old daughter and said "You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear." She put the shell to her ear
and screamed. There was a hermit crab inside and it pinched her ear.
She never wants to go back! LoL I know this is totally off topic but I
had to tell someone!
