Here are the questions I need help on, if you can answer ANY of them or maybe just give me an idea for one, please do! =D
1) How do Mr. Patel’s zookeeping abilities compare to his parenting skills? Discuss the scene in which he tries to teach his children a lesson in survival by arranging for them to watch a tiger devour a goat. Did this in any way prepare Pi for the most dangerous experience of his life?
2) Pi imagines the his brother would have called him Noah. How does Pi’s voyage compare to the biblical story of Noah, who was spared from the flood while God washed away the sinners?
3) Consider some ways, other than what is mentioned in the book, that religion and zoos find unlikely compatibility.
4) Explore the significance of Pi’s unusual name.
5) How would the story’s flavor have changed if the sole surviving animal were the zebra or Orange Juice?
Please post an answer or e-mail me if you have any input to these discusion questions!
