As I continue on in Life of Pi, I continue enjoying it. His story is like no others and interesting to read and learn how he lives.
I love the stories about the inner workings of the zoo and how Pi takes so much pride in explaining to those that he cares about about the zoo. In the one scene when he shows Mr. Kumar and Mr. Kumar around the zoo, I found it interesting how Pi not only views the zoo as a place that he is familiar with, but it is a place he connects with and finds ways to show his piers.
Even though I liked the first part of this reading assignment, I am on the fence for the second part. As the animals and Pi are stuck on the lifeboat, the hyena becomes crazy and bites off the zebra's broken leg. Not only does the hyena so that, it then also removes the orangutan's head. This violence and brutality teaches Pi the lesson that the qualities a human or animal exhibit when unprovoked can vary extremely from those that same human or animal will show if encountered with.
Anyway, I like the book as a whole. I find it amazing how Pi relates everything to the zoo and how it plays a big roll in his life. Good book!
