Life of Pi

Last month at the early time of September I decided to read Life of pi. I decide to read the book not because of the release of the movie but because I heard many of my classmates talking about how good it was. So I decided why not lest try to read that book. Well I loved the book, finished it in less than 2 days. So if you have yet to read this book than I must stop you because I’m going to reveal several spoilers ok? So Shoo.

In the book it took a little while to realize that Richard Parker was the tiger on the cover. Was anyone surprised as I was to find out he was the tiger on the front cover. I mean I didn’t realize it because Pi was trying to save him and shouting at him like he was another human being. Then in the part where all the animals were on the boat all of them alive before you know. Well I felt so sad when the hyena killed that orangutan whose name I don’t remember at the moment. But did anyone feel so sad when that happened especially in the end when he tells the story and switching the orangutan with his mother. That told me how much he really cared for her, the orangutan especially when he started to cry. Another animal who he cared about the most was Richard Parker, So I felt so sad when both of them were dying and I swear I nearly cried when Pi was allowed to touch Richard Parker because that showed me how weak he was and that he may really die. But then a miracle/trap they found that carnivorous island. I certainly, embarrassing did cry with Pi when Richard Parker got up and left without even any acknowledgement. Because I rally didn’t want those two separated so much and was so disappointed when he left Pi all alone on the beach. You know the most conflicting part of the book is in the end when he tells the police officer a second story that had humans instead of animals in the book. I didn’t have a problem with the ending because I was really when the officers put in the report with story with the animals. But then my teacher pointed out in the beginning of the book how Pi believed all these religion in the same time which could be said in the end that perhaps that Pi believed that both stories are both true. So thank you Miss A because that ending was clean but now it’s really conflicting. So I am sorry for you who had a clean break with book for theses major curve ball.

But I am very happy to read that book even it did make me cry. I also hope I will find another book that will make me feel so strongly for the story because there are not many books like these. That makes you feel so alive, so thank you Yann Martel for that amazing story.
