Life of Pi #2

The sinking of the boat really throws the story into a overload of information. The whirlwind of the flashback of the moments before the landing in a boat with a tiger give insight into the logic that runs through Pi's mind of how the animals must have wound up. Once the realization of the tiger hits him, and after watching the violent attacks on the other animals done by the hyena, he meets the realization of animalistic characteristics and the realization of what could happen to him on the boat with the tiger must have been devastating. His emotions were tested by the physical pain the animals were in, even sending him into tears. He still comes out prevailing through this though, especially after watching Orange Juice (the orangutan) show such humane actions such as searching for her two lost sons in the water. This part of the book was much more entertaining, and the detail let a reader feel like he or she is almost there with Pi throughout this experience on the boat. I'm definitely beginning to like this book more.
