Pi Patel, a man who finds himself stuck in a small lifeboat for over 227 days, is a fine example of a courageous character. This character comes from the book The Life of Pi by Yann Martel. In this book we see Pi's bravery portrayed in most of the book, but there are a few sections in particular where we can see Pi's audacious behavior. For example, when Pi starts to train Richard Parker, a tiger that is stuck on the life raft with him. Furthermore, when Pi asks to be baptized even though he had just been confronted about practicing 3 religions. As well as after all the animals on the boat have been killed, except for Richard Parker, and he feels better knowing that he might die. Pi's bravery helped keep him alive for an unbelievable amount
