Chapter Three:
Now Pi is the one talking. Pi tells us that he was named after a swimming pool. “Mamaji”, who is Pi's uncle and a champion swimmer, and the one to name him. There we have Pi's name: Piscine Molitor Patel. Pi calls him "Mamaji”, which is a loving name for uncle in Tamil Nadu, where Pi lived in India. In this chapter, we are also familiarized with Pi’s brother Ravi, who liked to tease Mamaji. After his parents failed at swimming, Pi proves to be a dedicated pupil to Mamaji and learns to swim both in the pool and the ocean.
Chapter Four:
Pi tells us that Pondicherry came in the Union of India in 1954. Eventually, Pondicherry gets a zoo. When Pi’s father buys the zoo, Pi's family moves from Madras, India to Pondicherry. He says that he loved being raised there at the zoo. Then Pi begins a new conversation about …show more content…
He talks about having a few difficulties as a kid because his classmates and his teachers constantly made fun of him due to the fact that his name, Piscine, and “pissing” (pardon my French) sounded very similar. Pi finally does something about the teasing. When Pi’s name comes up during roll call on his first day of secondary school, he writes his actual name and his new nickname, which was Pi, on the board, including a few digits of “pi”. His nickname sticks.
Chapter 7:
Now it’s Pi’s turn to talk. In this chapter, in this, he talks about his biology teacher, Mr. Kumar. We learn that Mr. Kumar is a Communist, an atheist, and loves visiting Pi’s zoo. Pi, who has been a pretty religious person almost all his life, was at first stunned by Mr. Kumar’s atheism and silently disagrees with what he says, but they soon became very close friends. Pi lets us know that atheists like his friend Mr. Kumar are not the problem. Rather, it’s the agnostics bother him more than anything else because he thinks they must live in a continuous state of disbelief or indifference.
