Okay well Pi talks more about his everyday life in the next couple of chapters. We already know that Pi is a very religious boy and practices several religions and even though his parents are not so fond of the idea they go along with it. Well his dad decides that moving would be the best option for the family and Canada seemed like the best place. If you don't already know Pi is living in India...well for now at least. Anyway, the dad starts to pack up the zoo a year prior to their trip. Why you may ask? Well, a zoo requires a lot of care when it comes to maintenance so he needs to find a place in different zoos for certain animals and supplies that the animals will need on the long trip over. When they finally get on the boat everything is good. Until Pi ends ups on a life boat with a 450 pound tiger, a monkey, hyena, and a Zebra. The Hyena who ends up being a really aggressive creature and kills the Zebra in the first day of being lost at sea. A couple days later after killing the Zebra the Hyena decides to kill the monkey (I know sad). The Monkey puts up a good fight but ends up losing and then dying. Pi becomes more and more freaked out as the days go on because he suspects that he will be the Hyenas next meal. Who knows...but remember that the Bengal tiger is also aboard.
Interesting scenario. I like the book a lot, well at least I do for the moment. Pi has a very odd way of looking at the world. The way he describes things, as if everything makes sense. I don't know I cant quite explain it.
