it's been a long time since i read it, but as far as i remember.. i interpreted the whole story as being kind of a fantasy in his head. |

See I took it for what it was written as a Fictional story,but i just really enjoyed the religous views Pi had and how he would meditate for weeks at a time and not realize how much time had actually gone by. Things like that I belive are possible but some of the other stuff that happend while at sea i found very hard to belive. Like when he runs(hes blind at the time)into a another boat with another person on it also blind and they begin to talk to each other :wtf: like what are the chances of that ever happening.
Favortite quote in the novel:
“I can well imagine an atheist’s last words: ‘White, white! L-L-Love! My God!’–and the deathbed leap of faith. Whereas the agnostics, if he stays true to his reasonable self, if he stays beholden to dry yeastless factuality, might try to explain the warm light bathing him by saying, ‘Possibly a f-f-failing oxygenation of the b-b-brain,’ and, to the very end, lack the imagination and miss the better story” (p.64).
This perfectly describes the beautiful way this book was written in... |

idk about 15, but I doubt he's reading it if he can't spell the title correctly. |
