Focus Assignment:

**The main character in the book, is not very hard to figure out. Even by looking at the title, you can see his name. Yes, Pi Patel is the heart of the story, “The life of Pi”. He is the most important aspect of the novel. One thing that I can most definitely point out about him is the way Pi thinks. He has a very different mind from many other individuals in the story, and that is what makes it such a great read. Pi thinks outside of the box, and is always passing the literal meaning of something to try and look at, “the bigger picture”. I realized this in chapters 1, INSERT CHAPTERS HERE. For example, if you look at the first chapter, the way the author illustrates what Pi thinks and feels is amazing in a way. I felt inspired by the first chapter of the book. **


 * Also, you can really start to picture, after the first few chapters of the book, what the world means to Pi. The way he reacts to it is unique, and gives the reader a perfect picture about the life he lives in India. Examples are in the chapters where Pi meets the three religious men, and starts to practice multiple religions, which seem so different, yet in Pi’s mind all are linked by the same foundation of fact and fiction. The book has given me a whole new look at the world in general, but this I also thought was inspiring. **


 * But, if you put aside all the metaphorical aspects of Pi, and look at the literal, he also does seem like an inspiring character in the book. He is a young boy, wanting to pull the fullest out of life, and the book is like you accompanying him along the story of his life. But when he is shipwrecked at sea, his whole life turns upside down. He starts to question his faith, his life, and forgets his family. It starts to put questions in your mind about how you would feel in the same situation, obviously scared, and desperate for survival, but almost anyone could feel sympathy for Pi after you had become so attached to his character in the previous chapters. **


 * But if you were to congratulate Pi on how he handled his life, I would beg to differ. I see the book being the perfect combination of collaboration between the author and subject. Pi himself could have written this book and still have been interesting enough to finish, but when put through the **
 * words of the author made everything twice as elaborate, heartfelt, and rewarding to continue reading the story. But of course the would be no life of Pi, without Piscine himself, right? **
