In the movie Richard Parker and Pi were having a love - hate relationship whether they would fight or help each other . In the book it was the same exact way . According to the book it says “ A part of me did not want richard parker to die at all because if he did I would be left with despair a foe even more formidable than a tiger ’’ “ This happened time again . How true it is that necessity is the mother of invention , how very true” . This showed me that not only did Pi had a very bi-polar attitude towards Richard Parker , but it also shows me that Pi was struggling to survive but he fought for his life . There was one more difference in the movie than the book
