When he says he is pulling the rotten wood out of his heart‚ he means he’s letting go of the emotional baggage in his heart‚ so he can pursue his dreams. “We are all made out of shipwrecks‚ every single bouard washed and bound like crooked teeth on these rocky shores” That line is saying that we are all the person we are today because of our mistakes‚ and we’re all barely making it through life by ourselves. At this point in the poem

    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. Some successful and some not‚ but look at what we have now and think‚ "If these risk takers did not do major explorations‚ will we know how

    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.

    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
