Life of Pi Part Three

So Pi keeps going, trying to get to the second most pointless in the world, Canada. (Really, what do they give the world? snow, ice, syrup, and moose, lots of pointless moose.) He seems to have more than one personality now, he feels invulnerable at times, on top of the world, than at times he feels like a pile of.. well, poo. He almost gets to the point of no return, the low of the low. I'd feel invulnerable if I was able to feed me and what? a 450 pound TIGER!? Thats alot of fish. Martell seems to describe everything in a way that doesnt bore me much if at all. Not many writers can do this, even Christopher Paolini, J.K. Rowling, and Stephen King can't do what Martell does so often in this book. Personally I like the way Martell writes his book, the great description of what some people would call "boring" days intrigue to how he does it. I have yet to understand how, but I hope I (or anybody) can enlighten me on this question, "How does Martell keep you interested with such a stupid topic?". I cant wait to finish this book again to renew the greatness of it. ( Oh and by the way, Samoa, that is the most pointless place in the world. )

Life of Pi Part two

Just as I already knew, this part was definatly more interesting than the first part of the book was. It didn't seem as random and now it seems to have a point and the story flows a lot better as well. However there were still a few parts that we're confusing because the way that the author wrote some parts were a bit, well... comfusing.. For example, when Pi first got in the boat and for awhile Richard Parker just disappeared. He wasn't even mentioned for a couple of chapters. One thing I really was how gory some parts were, like when he was discribing the animals killing each other because after reading other, non action books, it is nice to have a bit of death and fight in it. I cant believe how much more interesting the second part is compared to the first part. I do admire Pi for going through everything though. Personally, I dont know if i could have done it, but I can fish and blood and gore doesnt really bother me. I liked this part of the book, but can not wait for the next part.

Life of Pi Part one

 I have to say that, so far, this book is as boring in the beginning as the first time I read it, but I know it gets better in the future. I'm sure that, even though all of this information seems random now, all of the background information will serve a purpose later in the book. One of the most interesting parts to me was when he discussed different religions. The book shows that, at a young age, Pi was interested in many different religions so it's really no suprise that later in life, one of his two majors was religion. Something that really stood out to me in the parts where he was discussing his religious life was when Pi stated that he was not just a Hindu, Christian, or Muslim, but rather all three simultaneously. I suppose it's because we don't hear of that a lot. When you ask someone about their religious views, they usually say just Hindu or Christian, or Muslim or whatever else, not more than one. I have to wonder how Pi was able to practice several, very different religions at the same time. Pi's majors in college were also very interesting. It's really odd that he chose both zoology and religion together. Apart, they both seem like very interesting subjects, but it is hard to see them together, religion seems more of the human as a spiritual being while zoology sees a human as an animal and nothing more.
  Surprisingly, some parts, especially the part about the sloths, I actually find, interesting for a lack of better words. But at some points, I did not think I would be able to get through the book. Thankfully I know this book gets much better.
