Life changes at such a fast pace‚ that many times we do not appreciate the things we have until they are gone. We all have been given a gift that cannot be bought: The gift of life. Although none of us ask for this gift‚ we all fight so hard to keep it. Pi never really treasures this gift until he almost losses it. Pi realizes its value and for this reason
