Comparing PI And The Prophet

The Life of PI and The Prophet were both books that caught my attention because of two reasons. The first reason was because of the fact that both main characters were somehow traveling while learning what it is they are doing. The second reason is due to the fact that it has to do something with religion or spiritual learning and learning about what life is and what we are supposed to do with it. Why I choose these two reasons is due to the fact that me personally in the future i would like to travel and learn more about my religion and what it is that i should do with my life. Where PI actually is stuck in a boat with a bengal lion to learn what life is The Prophet Is actually traveling and learning bit by bit what life has to offer and what he can do with it. Now for The Life of PI the main character Pi or Patel survives 227 days after a shipwreck while stranded on a lifeboat in the Pacific
On his way back home he was stopped by a group of people on the boat back home. He was asked why he was returning back from such a long trip. He wanted to bring back the things he learned to share back to his place. Now this is where he explains in each its own sections the way of life and how you go on about it. The second reason for The Life of PI on religion/spiritual. Patel learns to become very spiritual during his 227 days of being stranded on a lifeboat. He starts to understand of how this world understands by learning through just one animal the bengal tiger. Even though it didn’t talk to him personally like a human would. But it showed him through the most effective way of showing a human being and that is through action. He learned that everything has a place in this world. When he delivers food and water to the tiger he learns to coexist with the tiger and begin to start a relationship with the
