Life of Pi Answers

1.  Yes, because within the wild animals are at the mercy of nature and the other animals surrounding them.
     In a zoo they are safe and are ensured their basic nescessities without worry of predators.
2. If you see this in a secular fashion then yes, it is possible. But looking at this through the eyes of a faithful  person, your beliefs would restrain you from thinking that you could believe in multiple religions at the same time. He wants to reap the benefits of each one.
3. The story started off very believable in the beginning, so when the part about the lifeboat came up it didn't seem too unbelievable. It didn't bother us too much and Pi was a good storyteller because everything he said was believeable.
4.  Young money, nyugkgkayaya.
5. Richard Parker symbolizes death because he is a predator and Pi is the prey. He could also symbolize life because he was Pi's companion for the time he spent on the lifeboat and didn't eat him so their must've been some sort of connection.
6. Zoology and Religion are connected because they both show balance. In the realm of animals there is balance within nature and religion shows that the world is in order.
7. It does, if the animals were really humans and if the hyena ate the zebra..does that mean one of the passengers were a cannibal? It takes away from the original story.
8. We prefer the animals story because we believe it because he is the son of a zoo owner, and he views them in a different way. It would make so much more sense to him than it would to the officials. The officials don't know his connection with animals.
9. Seeing that Pi lives and his life afterwards is happy, shows that no matter how bad the situations were he lived and survived to tell the tale. It also tells that he has recovered from whatever psychological stress he might've gained from the experience.
10. Pi is named after a pool. And this name is very significant seeing that he is stranded at sea. His skill of swimming would be very beneficial for him.
