Title: The Life of Pi
Author: Yann Martel
The story is about a guy named Piscine. He believes in three different religions, Christianity, Hinduism and Islam. Pi grew up in a zoo located in India. At one part of his life, Pi and his parents decides to go to Canada through the cargo ship. At this event, Pi was orphaned. He was left alone with one creature with him; a tiger. It was really sad for Pi. At the beginning of the novel Pi didn’t know what to do with an animal. However, as the story develops Pi and the tiger got along and started liking each other. The both helped each other at times of need.
From this book I learned many lessons. Firstly, I go to know that if you want to live life then you need to continue on. Pi was left all alone in a sea with a tiger. His parents and brother is dead and he doesn’t have anyone except a tiger. It was a sad moment, for many of us we wouldn’t go near a tiger, but I learned that anything can happen at anytime and you just need to make the best out of the situations. You achieve something through the struggles you go through. Also, I find it interesting how Pi believes in three different religions. Even though some society members disagree with him, Pi still continues on. Overall I liked this book for all the themes and lessons that I got to know and learn. I also liked the part of how it took in India, in Pondicherry where I visited which I found interesting.
