My drawing below basically illustrates what my group and I have read so far and it is about Pi's life (obviously). It was a bit confusing because of the flashbacks but I have manged to understand what Pi is talking about.
His life is full of animals; considering that his Father, Santosh Patel used to own a zoo called the Pondicherry Zoo and also, Pi studies Zoology at the University of Toronto (Canada). Animals are a part of Pi's life but other than that, Pi is also interested in three religions (He also studies religion at the university) and he really believes them even though his parents tell him that he must choose only one religion to follow. These religions are Hindu (he was actually born a Hindu), Christianity, and Islam. As you can see, Pi is in the middle and there is a line in the middle. This shows that Pi has two sides. One is with animals and the other with religions. Both of those things make up his life and they are very important things in his life. On the right side, there are the symbols of each religion and the settlement for each religion; cross and a church (Christianity), crescent and star and mosque (Islam), and Aum and Hindu temple (Hinduism). The left side has drawings of animals that were mentioned a lot of times. Sloths and the tiger, AKA Richard Parker. The sharks came in later in the book when Pi was on the life boat with R.P.
"Academic study and the steady, mindful practice of religion slowly wrought me back to life. I have kept up with what some people would consider my strange religious practices. After one year of high school, I attended the University of Toronto and took a double-major Bachelor's degree. My majors were religious studies and zoology." (Martel 4)
"The Pondicherry Zoo was the source of some pleasure and many headaches for Mr.Santosh Patel, founder, owner, director, head of a staff of fifty-three, and my father." (Martel 9)
"I don't see why I can't be all three. Mamaji has two passports. He's Indian and French. Why can't I be a Hindu, a Christian and a Muslim?" (Martel 42)
