Hello everybody,
today I was chosen by my group to be the literary luminary for the first half of the book Life of Pi. The main character in this story is an adolescent boy named Pi from India, who has quite an interesting life with interesting adventures with an interesting mindset. The job of a literary luminary in literature circles is to single out interesting pieces of writing in the story. Today I have three examples for you. The author of the book is Yann Martel.
1. page 38, in the 9th paragraph Pi's father had a very long speech about how all of the animals are dangerous in the zoo, but once they arrive by the guinea pigs his theory is smashed because they aren't dangerous in any way. This is interesting because now his father is trying to teach his boy something which is relevant once again one hundred pages later in the story. Plus, its something interesting to think about.
2. page 66, in the 2nd paragraph Pi's parents and his religious teachers discover that Pi practices Hinduism, Christian and the Islam. Everybody is in shock because it is very uncommon to have a Hindu boy practice three religions. It is important to the story because it later influences his choices as we paddles on his raft along the pacific.
3. page 127, in the 3rd paragraph. Pi is extremely scared because the animals are fighting for survival on his lifeboat. The hyena and the orangutan are duking it out, for the monkey to die. Pi is in terror, but even more so for the 450 pound Bengal tiger, because of how ferocious it is. For the reading it is really exciting because it is full of interesting events to read about, plus the dynamic part and all the tension make it a very fun piece of literature to devour.
This concludes my blog post for life of Pi, the first part. Thanks for reading and hope you had a wonderful day,
