Authors note: In class we were given a statement that Yann Martel had said in his interview about "Life of Pi". After reading the statement we had to write a response or reflection on what the quote means to us.
Pi wanted to create an interesting atmosphere for all readers. His concept of his writing is difficult to comprehend at the beginning, though as you read on you will find all the symbolism that there is to know. His symbolism includes animals, religion and the idea of being stuck on a lifeboat for 227 days which is all more interesting. After reading the author's interview, I uunderstood the purpose of the perfect metaphor. I never thought animals and humans could relate to each other in the way they are meant to in the book.
