In the Life of Pie by YANN MARTEL the excerpt “DO YOU KNOW WHICH IS THE MOST DANGEROUS ANIMAL IN THE ZOO?” felt important to the advancement of the plot. I felt that this excerpt mainly told the whole story of the book. In the zoo people wanted to find the most dangerous animal so PI father set up a booth with a curtain. In the booth was a mirror and when people opened the curtain they find out that it was them all along. In the later part of the book Pi was in a heavy predicament. He was pinned…

species (“A List of Arguments for and Against Zoos”). When visiting a zoo, the visitors can learn more about the animals, which creates a sense of helping the animals. Visitors are more prone to donate to their zoo or animal rights charity because they read all the facts and information on their extinctions and predators on their sign near their habitat. About News even mentions that the endangered species in the zoos can be safe from all predators and can hopefully reproduce to bring them out…

Question One: “I have a few people to thank. I am most obviously indebted to Mr Patel my gratitude to him is as boundless as the Pacific Ocean and I hope that my telling of his story does not disappoint him.” (xii) I believe the person speaking in the author’s note is not Yann Martel, it is in fact another character in his story. This book is fictional so it would make little sense for Martel to thank his made up character in an author note that he wrote. Meaning that the ‘author’ is another…

young, my mom would read me bedtime stories. Sometimes I would take my older sister’s books that did not have any pictures and pretend to read them, coming up with my own fantastical plots and imagining that was the story written in the book. I would also pretend to write my own stories by scribbling “cursive” on the pages of my old notebooks. In first grade my teacher, Mrs. Stumph, would allow me to read her Junie B. Jones books to the class. Sometimes, she would even let me read my own books…

I have read the Gospels many times. I went to Sacred Heart Catholic School before St. Marys, and one of our assignment in 7 grade was to read each Gospel and answer a packet of questions. Like if said I’ve read the Gospels a lot and about half of those times were for school assignments. When read the Gospel this time around I notice that my mind was filling in the blanks. I was putting parts from other Gospels into this Gospel in place were it wasn’t written. The most common Gospels I read are…

I have never participated in a Read-a-thon before. I've always had the desire to, however, I have never felt up to it. Yet, this year I will be participating in the Dewey's 24 Hour Read-a-thon! This Saturday, from 1pm to 1pm Sunday, I will attempt to read as much as I can. I've been advised that it's best to target shorter, faster paced books in order to get further; Therefore, I have chosen the following book for my first ever Read-a-thon experience: The Perks of Being a Wallflower by Stephen…

On the other hand, Pascine keeps himself occupied by doing daily tasks to keep him sane and mentally stable. Firstly, all Pi had with him on the lifeboat was a survivors manual and it read “Unnecessary exertion should be avoided. But an idle mind tends to sink, so the mind should be kept occupied with whatever light distraction may suggest itself” (Martel, 184). Notably, Pi creates a system where he does things daily so he would keep…

If I just read the assigned chapter in economics and couldn't remember what I just read, then I would need to make sure that I understand what exactly I just read. Also, try and convince myself that the material that I am learning is important and also try to find something interesting. This is two examples of things I could do from the book. I'm not exactly sure on what a reflection is, I think it means what I would I am not positive on that, though. If I just read the assigned chapter in…
