At first‚ these parts just seem to be a way to spilt up the book: The first tells of Pi’s background‚ the second tells the story of his survival‚ and the last explains Pi’s rescue and includes a recount of interviews with Pi on the cause of the shipwreck. It is not until the very end that the reader finally notices how the parts interrelate and tie the whole book together. Once the reader is aware of the book’s delicate balance the true meaning of the work is revealed: is there such thing as truth

Good Morning my fellow peers and educators: In this century‚ even before this century‚ many people have been risking theirs lives to explore and discover greater things. E. L. Doctorow once said‚ "Writing is an exploration. You start from nothing and learn as you go". We started of knowing nothing‚ but we progressed into something better.

Christophe Auber Grade: 11 Life of Pi by Yann Martel tells the story of a sixteen year old religious boy‚ called Pi Patel‚ who survives in a boat for 227 days after a shipwreck. I believe this book deserves to win the Man Booker Prize not for the story it tells but for the thoughts it brings to our minds. The first interesting idea that is brought up by this novel is the conflict between religions. In the book this is shown by the arguing of the priest‚ the monk‚ and the Muslim man over

Life of Pi‚ by Yann Martel‚ tells two interesting stories; one with animals and one without animals. Pi tells both stories and says‚ “You can’t prove which story is true and which is not. You must take my word for it. […] Which story do you prefer? Which is the better story‚ the story with animals or the story without animals?” This allows readers to choose. The story with the animals is the better story because the animals as humans represent Pi’s way of coping with traumatic events; it is more
