watched the film and now reading the book. i didnt realize that the second story Pi was telling the Japanese could be real. i just thought he made it up. but now that i know the author left it that way to let us choose what we want to believe in, it's become extra cooler.
anyway, for school homework, my teacher asked: If you were stranded on a little lifeboat with a zebra, a hyena, an orangutan and a fierce tiger in an open sea, what would you do? Why? Be as creative as possible.
so help?

Added on December 4, 2012, 3:02 pmnobody knows what really happened except for the author himself, which is really frustrating you know. but at the same time, it got you thinking, which is real cool. i personally like the story with animals better, but which one do i believe, i dont know. cause i really dont want the second story to be true, but it could be, so i am clueless too. guess its because the second story is a sadder story that's why i prefer not to believe it or whatever. i really like richard parker and although i hate the hyena, it's actually its natural instinct to kill the other animals, so i wouldnt blame it. but if people are actually killing each other in the second story, it would be really sad, i mean yeah, desperate times but still, the first one is more beautiful and something we would all like more.
