Life of Pi: 1

           So far, I like this book more than I thought I would. Other people had told me this book was boring, but I think it is a pretty interesting book. It is a little difficult to read at some points because it is completely different from any book I have ever read. At first, I was a little confused about the switch from Pi talking to the narrator talking, but I caught on when you explained it in class.
           I like that the book kind of has some mystery to it in the beginning. Pi alludes to a tragedy from his past, but he doesn't tell you what happened. I think this technique made me want to keep reading to find out more. Pi also pursued degrees in religion and zoology, which seems kind of random because they are completely different. I am not sure if these two degrees are connected in some way or have some kind of symbolism.
           Pi talks a great deal about his passion for religions. He kind of believes parts of several religions, but he hates people that don't believe in anything. I can't really decide if Pi is just really open-minded or confused. It seems like the more he learns about religions, the more confused he becomes. Pi also talks a lot about his interest in zoology. His dad used to own a zoo, and Pi loved the animals. At some point, Pi learned that the most dangerous animal of all is man.
