Bengal tiger

The first example can be found in chapter 27 when the setting is described as “As the boat suddenly started to sink everything suddenly became a chaos.” This was a form of transition into the next scene where Pi and the bengal tiger were alone. The author also makes it clear to the reader where Pi exactly is. On page 111 it says “We left Manila and entered the Pacific.” This allows the reader to get a better understanding of where Pi’s adventure starts. Lastly, another thing…

The story of Life Of Pi by Yann Martel has truly taught me how to appreciate the little things in life. Life of Pi shows a journey of a young Indian man named Piscine Molitor Patel or “Pi” and a Bengal tiger across the ocean in a lifeboat. This story was so good that it transformed into a Hollywood movie which director, Ang Lee tried to depict to the best of his abilities.

the meaning behind the ‘tiger’. The old version of this word adds more emphasis on the poem and gives it more “power”. When I see the ‘y’ instead of the ‘i’ in the word Tiger, I immediately ask myself “why change the word itself?” I then realized that the illustration of the tiger may be deceiving, the ‘y’ in the 18th century version symbolizes the relaxation and kindness of the tiger. Also, in the illustrations throughout the poem, it shows a cute and funny looking tiger that does not cause any…

“Exotic animals aren't pets”, published by U.S.A. Today. It states and explains how Terry Thompson released lions, tigers, bears, and more animals before killing himself. It states that some owners say the pets rarely maim or kill, “but is the death rate really the matter?”.

starvation and the possibility of death, he abandons his ethics in order to survive. When investigators asked Pi what happened on the lifeboat, Pi tells them a story with zoo animals that have survived the shipwreck as well, one of which is an adult Bengal tiger. When asked by the investigators to tell them what really happened, Pi describes a more realistic and far more horrid story with humans that symbolize the animals. Even though the animal story is whimsical and irrational compared to the…

lifeboat with a tiger.” (Mishra, The Man, or the Tiger). The men then ask for a realistic story one that people with believe in, Pi then tells “a superficially more plausible narrative of cannibalism and madness” and “like us, they prefer the story of the boy in a boat with a tiger.” (Kaveney, Guess Who’s for Dinner). Gregory Stephens describes the theme of Martel’s novel in three lines “You can choose your story. And a story with an imaginative overlay is the better story.” (Feeding tiger,…
