Well.....the last part of this book is VERY disturbing and confusing! After I read it, I was so confused. It reminds me of when you watch a show and something crazy happens, but at the end of the episode you find out that it was just a dream. When Pi tells an alternative story of what happened by replacing the animals with humans, it makes you believe that that is the real story.
I think Pi replaced the people with animals in his mind so he could deal with it. Once again, I am reminded of the first part where Pi finds that humans are the most dangerous animal. I think the stories with the humans is so much more grotesque even though it was basically the same as the story with the animals. It is so much more gruesome when you think of humans eating each other or decapitating each other.
I also started to feel differently about Pi in this part of the book. I thought before that he was sympathetic and compassionate because of the way he acted towards the animals. However, after I found out that he ate a person, I just could not think of him the same way. No wonder Pi is involved in so many religions. He is probably just looking for something to help keep him sane after this tragedy. I really don't know how I feel about this book. I am still a little shocked at the ending. It was definitely not what I was expecting.
