In Yann Martel’s Life of Pi, Piscine M. Patel (also known as Pi) is a teenager believing in three religions: Hinduism, Christianity, and Islam. All three of these regions with their respective gods and deities have teached Pi morality and kindness. However, when Pi’s family sells their zoo at Pondicherry, and prepares a move to Canada, he nearly loses his morality fighting for survival after their cargo ship sank in the Pacific Ocean. Sailing on a lifeboat with 4 other animals for over 200 days Pi reaches Mexico where he was hospitalized for several weeks. The reporters thought Pi lied about sailing with tiger, a hyena, a monkey, and zebra all representing human-counterparts of Pi, the cargo ship cook, Pi’s mother, and a sailor respectively.
