I still really like this book, but there were some kind of dull parts in this section, like the descriptions of fishing. Yes, they were necessary, but they were just dull to me. I couldn't imagine living his life. I couldn't imagine trying to tame a TIGER! Insane. Yes, again it was very necessary, but that task takes one brave person to try to master it.
Pi really starts learning to think on his feet more and more throughout this book. He learns that nothing should EVER go to waste. The boy that felt bad about killing his first first becomes an expert hunter that can even drink blood and kill a turtle mercilessly. Pi really grows up fast; and somehow doesn't go completely insane with his 227 days stranded at sea. He kept himself busy and always had faith in God. I would miss my family and friends way to much if I were him. The one chapter that told the part where he sang happy birthday to his mom made me want to ball my eyes out. I couldn't imagine comprehending that everything that I loved was gone. I really admire Pi's bravery. He learns to overcome all of his fears, from the tiger to the sharks to killing live animals, he conquers it all. "You can get used to anything", he says.
I am still loving this book. It is still really hard for me to put down, and although I want to know what happens, I don't want this book to end. Stay tuned for the final response on the Life of Pi coming shortly! :)
