Doubt In Yann Martel's Life Of Pi

Improved Essays
In Life of Pi, Pi described the Agnostics as a group of people who are uncertain of their belief in God or not. Pi suggest that "doubt is useful for a while" (36).

The idea that a feeling of uncertain about a fact is helpful for a while shows that our feelings of doubt are only temporary.
