Life of Pi
Life Of PI
Summative Assessment
Martel introduces and interesting sets and settings Displays the content of story interesting tones of surrealism, comedy and reflection. Provides an escape from the social acceptance of sex and violence by placing the reader in a world filled with allegorical representation with animals and religion.
Idea: Martel suggests through the allegorical representation of Richard Parker’s instincts and Pi’s spirituality, that humankind can not survive without the other. We as people need reasonable doubt, but also must venture our imaginations into the unknown. This in itself provides the spark of life for mankind. A sense of belonging with the world through faith and God and the need to know more ensure the survival of the human race.
Martel’s “Life of Pi”. A furry tale that will make any cynic or pessimist put a smile on their face. A novel whose limits span the Pacific Ocean and reach towards God. A story that encompasses life in itself and celebrates it with elements of nature and survival. Yann Martel, the author of Life of Pi provides a set and setting that brings us out of our familiar surroundings of skyscrapers, concrete, and subways, to the vast pacific ocean. He brings into the story a strong presence of the main character’s spirituality towards god and a rich and diverse zoo in the town of Pondicherry. Above this Martel brings in a larger than life curious cat named Richard Parker, who isn’t so much a cat, but a man-eating tiger whose premise is to light a figurative fire under the bottom of our protagonist Piscine Patel, better know as Pi. All these physical and religious elements of Pi’s journey of survival add a thick richness that allows for a sense of adventure, beauty, and diverse story telling. But beyond giving us interesting settings, Martel has succeeded even more in the tones of his writing. Funny, surreal, and reflective, Life Of Pi always keeps his readers in awe and wonder. But besides
