Section A

So far i like this book for certain reasons because there are some intersting parts and there are not so when i read i think of it as its boring and kind of blank out. Well in the beginning of the book i thought that it was really slow.One of the parts i thought stood out was when the boat sank and and their seem to be only richard parker and pi on the boat and i said okay but when a zebra and a hyena appeared it got kind of weird.
Some themes that occur in this book are:

Moral and Religious Beliefs
Courage
Animal Knowledge

I think that these are some of the things that pi grows in as the book goes on and i think its going to help them as they get rescued or wash upon a island.

Section B asking questions

1.) How does Richard Parker act when Pi is training him?/or does he actually train him?
2.)What does religion and the swimming lessons have to do with Pi and the lifeboat?
3.)Pi considers himself a to Christianity, Islam and Hinduism? Is it possible to practice all three faiths faithfully? What is Pi's reasoning in not choosing one?
4.)Pi believes that animals in a zoo are no worse off than animals in the wild. Do you agree with him?

Section C

The quote that i thought was the best so far is the when he was considering to kill richard parker which he actually didnt. "I had a plan and it was a good one. I only needed to survive to put it into effect." (Page 200)

This was interesting to me because it stood out and i think why he didnt kill him is because of his religious beliefs and how he believes in many things and killing wasnt one of them. i thought it had a message behind it which was its a part of survival so you are kind of being forced to survive.
