due to this, a war was sparked. A war in which violence was justifiable, as long as it was for a cause that could be believe in. When Saraswathi decided to be a suicide bomber to help the Tamil Tigers, she believed that what she was doing was right, either because she believed in a world that the Tigers idealized or because she thought the Sinhalese soldiers needed to pay for the sins that they…
paramilitary groups, because they needed a job; they were looking for adventure, survival or because they were abused at home. In fact, ideology was the second to last of their reasons. In Sri Lanka, Dennis McGilvray commented that The Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE), call themselves liberation fighters and not terrorist. He asserted that in the case of the LTTE the need for join this group had more to do with their linguistic and religious divide, the Tamil minority did not feel…
with Saraswathi as she strived for this peace and redemption. Being influenced by mass propaganda while also falling into a deep depression after her dream of becoming a school teacher was no longer possible, Saraswathi’s choice to join the Tamil Tigers was not a surprise. Her own mother said, “You must go to the training camp. Learn to fight. Become a hero” (Munaweera, p.159). At first this terrified her, yet as the training went on and she was finally able to reclaim her strength and aside…
I was not interested in politics for most of my life or that was what I thought up until the year 2007. Previously my views and conceptions of politics were often based on a restricted understanding of the subject and the lack of trust in politicians. I perceived it to be irrelevant to my life because then I had other priorities such as sports, exams, and other school related activities, hence I became alienated from politics. As I grew older, my interest in political affairs was realized at…
We will have commercials that will air through Massillon Cable TV’s local television channels.

Ocean with a 450 lb. Bengal tiger named Richard Parker. Or was he? The novel presents two stories to the reader, one in which Piscine, commonly referred to as Pi is stranded on a lifeboat with animals, and one story in which Pi finds himself stranded in the same setting, but with human counterparts, and a much more gruesome ending. The true story is the one with humans for three reasons. Carnivorous islands do not exist, Pi would not be able to survive with a Bengal tiger, and overall, the…
days while accompanied by a 450 pound Bengal tiger. He claims that through his faith and prayers, Pi was able to survive on a rigorous journey in which no human has accomplished before. During the time of his struggle, Pi had been practicing four faiths, one of them including atheism. Pi’s encounters throughout his surreal story contradict the beliefs of atheists. Through the lens of an atheist, Pi fabricated his story involving Richard Parker the Bengal tiger because the events that occurred…
trusts in the values imparted by his family. The ghastly part of the story is the way Pi survives with a Bengal Tiger for 227 days on a small boat in the Pacific Ocean (Martel 184).

The only creatures left on the ship are Pi, a zebra, hyena, orangutan and Bengal Tiger. Finally, the book concludes with an interview…
book is clearly better than the movie. This is almost always the case with book to film adaptations. The story takes place for the most part on a life boat in the Pacific Ocean with a young boy named Piscine Molitor Patel, also known as “Pi” and a Bengal tiger named Richard Parker. To the movie’s credit such a book as Life of Pi is certainly hard to modify to the big screen in 120 minutes or less considering all the colorful characters and themes that are painted in the novel. The author’s note…
