The Start of Something New; Part Two

So i have just finished reading a good portion of what consist of Part Two in Life of Pi. I was right. It turns out that part two is going to be about Pi being shipwrecked in the middle of the Pacific, with no one but a tiger and a hyena. 
In the beginning of part two, Pi and his family go aboard the Tsimtsum, a large cargo ship that is to take them to Canada. Soon after they depart from India, they are hit by a huge storm that destroys the vessel. Everyone seems to die by this tragedy, if it wasn't for Pi's sense of curiosity he would have been another dead body laying waist in the Pacific. 
Pi seems to escape this storm by being thrown upon a life boat, by workers on the ship. At first he feels blessed that he has found a floating boat, but soon realizes that this is a curse. Although he has been saved, it would seem that he is not the only survivor to arrive upon this life boat. A zebra, an orangoutang, a hyena, and a tiger, have just become Pi's new guest in the large ocean abyss. 

Part One Done

I am finally done with part one of Life of Pi. I realized that part one, had to do with the first chapter of Pi's life, which is is time in India. For the rest of part one, we see how all three religions that Pi is involved in backfires. When each mentor of his, finds out about his actions, they each try to pursued him to continue on "the right" path. But through this all Pi continues to follow all three religions because he believes in the fundamentals that each stand for.

After that we see that Pi's family is to sell their zoo in Pondicherry and move to Canada. Pi and his family took this as a shock. In their minds Canada is another world, somewhere so far they would have to go across to globe to reach their new home. His new adventure awaits him on the Tsimtsum.
By reading book one I infer that book two will probably be about, a misfortune that happens upon the grand vessel.
This books keeps getting better and better.

My book is no longer a stranger

Ok guys, I just finished reading up to page 50. To be honest nothing has quit happened, but I'm not bored of this book yet, for some reason it intrigues me. It is for that same reason that i like this book. Its been a while since I opened a book, and actually enjoyed the words that I read. No wonder it won, the Man Booker Prize and is now a major motion picture. From what i have recently read, the narrator is going into more detail about his past. I learned that the main characters name wasn't originally Pi, it was Piscine. He changed it because his classmates used to tease him too much. I also learned that Pi, is quit a religious boy. For me this foreshadows what may happen in the future, considering that it is known that he will be stranded in the ocean. Perhaps he will look to religion to help him through the hardship. Another aspect of the book that i can foreshadow about, is when Pi's father brings him to tigers cage, and shows him the danger that the zoo holds and although it may be fun, it is quit dangerous. Other than that Pi, is just speaking of his past.

Chapters 1-5. Getting used to my book

Life of Pi, seems to be a relatively new book that has gained much popularity over past couple of months.To be honest, I am not a big fan of reading. So when I heard that my teacher was making us read a book, for our SAT Verbal class, I took hold of the opportunity to test this book out for myself.  The fact that many of my friends told me that the movie was excellent, made me want to read it even more. As they always say, "The book is always better than the movie."

From reading the first few pages of my book, I can infer that it does not seem to be bad at all. It seems like this is one of the few books, that I am going to enjoy reading. In the first 5 chapters (20 pages), the narrator describes his early life in India, and gives the reader a vivid image of his childhood growing with his father owning a zoo. So far nothing has quit happened yet, we are just learning about the narrators past.
