Exposition:
The exposition in “The Life of Pi” would be the first introductory part before Pi and his family leave for Canada on the Tsiutsum. All the events that happen before they leave for Canada gives us an insight and an introduction to the various characters especially around the protagonist; Pi.

Yann Martel changes the narration in the book “The Life of Pi” several times. During the beginning of the book Martel uses a first person view/narration from his point of view telling a bit of his story in the author’s note.

The narrator at the beginning of the book can also be considered a character in the story. The majority of the narration in this book is a first person narration from Pi’s point of view, though at some points this “other narrator” stars narrating and recounting events of Pi’s life. This is a very interesting way of changing the perspective and rendering it a personal style of writing for Martel. By changing the narrative perspective Martel wants to make the reader aware that what the reader is reading is not factual but merely a
