    In this passage, however, the author uses details to show the sadness the father was feeling at not being able to carry on the fishing tradition he and his son had been following for the past few years. Before answering to the question Joe had asked of his father, where he asked his father if he could fish with Bill Harper, the father remains silent for a while. His brief silence gives the reader enough details to infer that the father was extremely saddened by the son’s request. It also makes the reader aware of the father’s love for his son when he offers the son his best fishing rod. The son’s equal affection for his father is shown when Dalton Trumbo makes note of the fact that the son gets a lump in his throat at the thought of deserting his father.…

    As I stated above, Jack was very skeptical of this adventure and only went because he had nothing else to do after being left at the Academy during holiday. As they trek through the mountains they encounter many things anywhere from bootleggers to an old widow looking for her son. All of these things are strangely connected to the story of Pi and his journey. As Jack sees these strange connections, he starts to believe in Early’s tale. “But something had stirred in me. It had started days before and had been growing in me all along this journey. Was it curiosity? A sense of adventure? It felt more like a need. Whatever it was, it was powerful.”(Vanderpool 224) He starts to connect to Early in a sense, and he opens his mind to more possibilities. One of these being a better relationship with his father. When the journey is over, he talks to his father more and opens up to him. As for Early, he never found Pi. He did, however, find his brother. Even though the two family members were reunited, Fisher didn’t feel like he could come home. Early is heartbroken and crushed, yet Jack knows how to help. “Fisher might have once been a school hero and a legend. But now he was a soldier. And I needed to find another person who could speak the language that a soldier would understand.”(Vanderpool 279) With this, Jack goes to his father. Jack’s dad and Fisher talk for a long while, in that soldier…
