I'm not going to lie... I've already finished the book, so I'll try to keep my knowledge from the rest from the blog!
Well, I like this section. It really picks up on action and gives more insight into just how much Pi has to face. Feeding a bengal tiger is intimidating in itself, let alone facing HOW to do it. With no food or knowledge on how to get it, he goes in headfirst and does a great job of it. I love his description of how much trouble it is to kill the first fish, or eat the meat because of his vegetarian ways. He is so naive to begin with, but the progressing time expresses the human will to survive. However, as the will to survive is obvious, the ability to seems to crumble as the end of the section comes, even leading to him writing the ever depressing "dying" statuses in his diary. This is definitely my favorite of the books we have read, and has the most action and realism. I actually think I might WANT to own this one.
