Life of PI
The book is about Piscine
Molitor Patel. His nickname is Pi, Because every time he had a new teacher he
took a piece of chalk went to the blackboard and wrote pi= 3,14 for good
measure he drew a large circle and sliced it in two to evoke the basic lesson
of geometry.
Pi´s father owns a zoo and Pi
loves the animals and his father is very proud of the zoo which is located in
south India in a city called Pondicherry. One time the gate to the tiger was
open and Pi´s father accused his brother Ravi for not closing the gate. The
father wanted to give them a lesson for life and took a goat and put it in to
the tigers. The tiger killed the goat and then explained “if you enter a
territory of a wild animal they will do everything to defend it”. It is about
the distance between you and the animal that matters.
One day Pi´s father decided to
sell the animals and the zoo and sail to Canada. They left madras on june 21st
, 1977. The ship was named Tsimtsum
and her officers were Japanese and the crew were Taiwanese. The ship was
large and impressive.
One night Pi heard a little
explosion while he was sleeping. Pi went up to the deck and saw that the ship
was sinking. Then he tried to run back down to the cabin, the water was over
the cabins were his family were.
The ship sank and some of the
crew members put Pi in a lifeboat. Pi now were in a lifeboat with a zebra,
hyena, and Richard parker (the tiger). Pi pushed himself up against the end of
the lifeboat. After a day Pi started to lose hope of someone rescuing him.
several days passed by and Pi´s only goal now was to survive.
