Life of Pi Response

Yes this novel will be good to read as a whole class because it demonstrates survival and life. One reason that this book will be good for the whole class is that there are a lot of metaphors in this book. The second reason that this book will be good for the whole class is that Pi believes in three different religions and he still does believe in those religions. The last reason that this book will be good for the whole class is that this book gets very interesting how Pi is stuck on a life boat with this vicious and dangerous tiger. I think that all college and high school students will enjoy this book no matter what because it is always exciting and thrilling through the whole book. Some quotes from the book are:
"Jesus, Mary, Muhammad and Vishnu!"
"So long as no excessive water is lost through perspiration, the body can survive up to fourteen days without water. If you feel thirsty, suck a button."
"Just beyond the ticket booth Father had had painted on a wall in bright red letters the question: DO YOU KNOW WHICH IS THE MOST DANGEROUS ANIMAL IN THE ZOO? An arrow pointed to a small curtain. There were so many eager, curious hands that pulled at the curtain that we had to replace it regularly. Behind it was a mirror.
These quotes are about religion, survival, and how humans are the most dangerous animals.
