World Literature (3/16)

Does it feel like Pi has been through a lot since the beginning of the novel? How does that make you feel as a reader? Do you feel exhausted? Why?

  1. To me it does feel like Pi has been through alot since the beginning of the book. It sometimes can be exhausting to have to follow every little thing that Pi is going through. But, I guess that's what makes you want to keep reading and going on with the book.

  2. Yeah it feels like he has been through a lot and as a reader it has kept me interested in what is going to happen next. Also if he will survive and the ending. What happens with the tiger? If this is true how is Pi's life now after that experience and does he live with it or try to forget everything that happened. His adaptions back into society with other people instead of being lonely and fearful of being attacked by a tiger. Is he a lot more confident and does he like being a lone at all after that experience?

  3. Ya he does. It doesn't make me feel any different though. It doesn't make me feel exhausted but I'm sure I would be if I was in his place.

  4. I think that Pi has been through a lot since the beginning of the book. As a reader, it makes me feel sad because I am reading what happens to him and what he experiences. For example: he experienced a hyena eating the insides of a zebra. That was traumatizing. I don't know if I feel exhausted, but I know I am interested now than in the beginning of the book.

  5. Yes I think he have been through a lot. No I think it keeps the book interesting when the main character is going through a lot at once. Umm it really does not affect me as a reader i guess. I do not feel exhausted because it is interesting to me that he is going through a lot.

  6. From what I hear in class he has been through a lot, I don't feel like we've been reading it forever though, so no I haven't changed and don't feel exhausted but I am ready to be done with the book for sure.

  7. I feel exhausted because he's been through so many things. It also bugs me that the guys interviewing Pi at the end don't believe what happened. It's an unlikely story but still, it's not like they know what happened. But then again, they've probably lived in logical conditions their whole life.

  9. I think pi has been through a lot sense the beginning of the book. This novel makes me confused a lot and puts my mind into a whole other world. Yes I think this book makes me feel exhausted because you have to keep up with everything that is happening in the book.

  12. Yes Pi has gone through hell in the book if it's true. As a reader I just feel pity or awe or something along those lines. I don't literally feel exhausted when it comes to reading things like this...
    Why would I, I'm just like sitting and reading a book.

  14. I think that he has been through a lot since the beginning of the book. Not only did he have an eventful childhood (with living in a zoo and all), but the whole half of the book is pretty eventful. Even though they do not seam like big events sometimes, but they are small events non the less.

  16. I feel exhausted by Pi's predicament. Reading about all his trials and issues for weeks makes me feel tired. It feels like since we've been reading it forever, I have been at sea too for a long time. I was relieved when he was finally at land.

  17. I can't help but feel bad and happy for him, I feel bad for him because he's been through so much, and he's lost his whole family, AND he went blind, on the the other hand I don't exactly feel happy but I feel content that he's learned so much in his time, and really come to value life.

  18. Yes he has been through a lot throughout the book. It makes me feel like i don't ever want to be stranded or ever read a book about someone being stranded in the middle of the ocean. No i don't feel exhausted because it is a book.

  19. Well I think that Pi has been through a lot and he must want to just get off that boat for good and be with human life forms. I do not at all feel exhausted to read this book. I kind of liked reading it, but it did gross me out in some of the parts. -Chumani Wayd

  21. I think that he has being going though a lot because he haven't ate for a long time and he really have nobody do be with but is a tiger. I think it makes it interesting for me. I like the book because i always want to know what going to happen next. I think it the most interesting book i read in high school. I think it also sad to.

  23. I think Pi has went through a lot of stuff since the beginning of the book. From him getting mad fun of for his name to him living in a zoo to the boat sinking to him being stranded.No, I do not feel exhausted because I'm not the one going through all these things.

  24. Yes, he has been through a lot, in the first part he had some childhood troubles and in the second part, he's stuck on a lifeboat in the ocean with a tiger. I wasn't really exhausted because something is always happening and it keeps me interested.

  25. It does feel like he has been through a lot. I wouldn't call it exhausting, or maybe I would. It's like COME ON NOW your life sucked, and now it sucks even more. It's a bit surprising too, or maybe just sad, because you can't imagine that happening to yourself. Pi goes through it for you, so you can't ignore the feelings it conveys through the descriptive writing. Maybe everything I just typed is just mottled and confusing. And maybe that's not the right word for it. Oh well.

  26. I feel like Pi has been threw a lot. He has dealt with a family death, a tiger, Orangutan, sharks in the water, plus now he's blind. He has been threw way too much. I'm surprised he hasn't killed himself.

  27. I think he has been through a lot right now and he just need to be help or at lease start a new life. I feel the pain he is going through by reading this book. It makes me want to cry when I read this book I wish this never had happen to him.

  28. Pi has been through quite a lot in the book. It's hard to recall that he was once just a (fairly) normal Indian boy. Now he has been thrust into the terrible and long ordeal. I do feel for him and I do feel tired more or less. I feel more relieved than anything. When you look back on it, the story was vary long and full, and it's crazy that you have read all of it.
