Lit. Analysis life of pi

1.In my eyes life of pi is a book about the true self survival in the world. This book is about a man choosing a path whether his parents think it's the right path or not.

2.The theme would have to be strength in survival in the world.

3."This was the terrible cost of Richard Parker. He gave me a life, my own, but at the expense of taking one. He ripped the flesh off the man's frame and cracked his bones. The smell of blood filled my nose. Something in me died then that has never come back to life."
Chapter 90, page 255

"Animals in the wild lead lives of compulsion and necessity within an unforgiving social hierarchy in an environment where the supply of fear is high and the supply of food low and where territory must constantly be defended and parasites forever endured. What is the meaning of freedom in such a context? Animals in the wild are, in practice, free neither in space nor in time, nor in their personal relations."
Chapter 4, page 16

"I can well imagine an atheist's last words: 'White, white! L-L-Love! My God!'-and the deathbed leap of faith. Whereas the agnostic, 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 imagination and miss the better story."
Chapter 22, page 64
All there of these quotes show his tone . The tone he uses fully stresses the theme I addressed in the above questions.

4. He really touched the purpose of the theme , the tone , and the sole story .

1.Piscine is the narrator and protagonist, known as Pi. He is a small man with black ish hair.He grew up in one place as a child but as a teenager moved to canada.

Gita is Pi's mother, a normally calm and unruffled woman. She dies in the sinking of the Tsimtsum.

2. When the author is switching between characters he stays with the same out look.

3. Static mostly the same throughout the book. Flat character threw this book he stays with his opinion and true to his self.

4. I felt like I met a person. Only for the fact that it was such a real book like a life in a book.
