Worl Literature (3/14)

Much of the novel is almost unbelievable. What do you buy? What do you sell?

  1. I don't buy the island part. I did buy it though up until the part where he found the teeth and the ground was like poisonous.

  5. I don't believe that pi survived on a boat with a tiger. I also don't believe that he landed on an island with meerkats and carnivorous plants. However, I do know that plants like the ones on the island exist. Other than that everything else seems pretty reasonable.

  6. Well for the record, this novel is fiction, but much of it is believable. It is reasonably believable that someone could survive at sea for that long, especially since they are alone but they have supplies that were stocked for 20 people. Eventually you get used to it and you make yourself survive basically. It is also remotely likely that one could survive with a tiger. If you are in Pi's situation it makes it better: Pi is the son of a zookeeper, so he has a knowledge of tiger behavior. And there is a chance that the tiger you are stranded with is an omega tiger, making training easy. I think one of the themes of this novel is perseverance of life. In nearly every situation, life is on a delicate balance, but it always manages to continue. I think this story is very very very unlikely, but possible. I think the only fantastic thing is the island.

  9. What I buy is that tigers are strong and very difficult to tame especially with such little resources. I think the island is too crazy to believe actually. I mean man eating with acid ground at night. Wouldn't we know about this if it existed.

  10. I thought most of it was believable, up until the island. That was the only part that I thought was unrealistic. The part with the meerkats were believable, but the part where he finds the tooth and finding out that the island eats people was unbelievable.

  11. I believe that he gets rescued
    I honestly dont believe that he makes it this long on a boat with a tiger

  12. I BELIEVE: He was trapped on a boat for a long time.

    NOT BELIEVE: That he was trapped on a boat with all those animals and they didn't kill him for food.

  13. I believe that Pi did live on a boat with Richard Parker. Along with all the struggles that he went through with losing his parents and being stuck on a life boat.
    What was kind weird to me and something that made the book seem fake was that something was eating this island away, although I'm pretty sure that can happen I wanna re-read that part because I was kind of confused.!

  14. I don't believe any of it really happened, I think either, pi is just crazy, or the whole story is just fiction.

  15. I think that if you looked over the "facts" or logic of the story, everything is believable in a way. Sure, it's unlikely that he lived on board with a tiger, but it's also unlikely that life just randomly started with some algae. A carnivorous island is a crazy concept, but it's still in the realm of reason or earthly possibility. I fancy the idea of a carnivorous island, but I don't think that it's... True perse. It's this weird doubt thing I've got going on in my head, and I can't quite think of it as false.
    But if anything I can believe that a ship sunk, and that there could have been one delusional survivor, that's for sure.

  16. The island at first seemed real, but after the whole it's alive thing, it didn't seem real anymore. I don't think that on the boat Pi was talking to R.P., but just to himself, but made it seem like R.P. to seem less crazy. I believe that it would be possible for someone like Pi to survive on a boat with a tiger, because of his background. -Chumani Wayd

  17. Most of what I read so far I could buy.

  18. I do not buy the island part. Things are just a little too strange when he finds out that the island people eat humans by only finding the tooth. I think that it was quite possible that he would find the island, but that's about it.

  19. This Book is fiction but somethings are believable but not all

  20. I don't believe that he can survive on a boat with a tiger for more than 200 days.

    I do believe he can survive on the boat for a while since he had more than enough supplies for it.

    I also believe that he could believe in all three of those religions.

  21. all of it seems fake to me.because in real life you would get ate by a tiger if you was in the same boat as one!

  22. I think that a henida can actually eat a zebra inside and out.What I do believe is that the tiger ate the henida after he got done get the zebra. What i don't believe is that how that tiger is just let pi sit there and not eat him

  23. I think Pi is going to survive !
    I don't think he is gonna be healthy

  24. it all seems fake to me. You could not survive on a boat with a hungry tiger. You would be eaten alive like the zebra. I think though that its weird that he believes in all three religions.
