Chapter 20 through 24 [77-88]

These chapters are really interesting. Pi is still practicing all three religions; Christianity, Hinduism, and Islamic. The funny part is that leaders of each religions leader comes down to visit Pi, all at the same time on a saturday evening. When the three leaders arive they are all very tence and looking at each other like 'what are you doing here?' Each leader says he knows Pi and how he has visited their place of worship every day. Then they catch on what Pi was doing, so they all fight trying to explain to Pi how there religion is the best and how they worship the "real" God. They try to make Pi make up his mind, but Pi really wants to be able to be able to worship all three, which isn't possible. By the end of the chapter, Pi's father, who is unreligios, tells each leader that they are aloud to believe what they want, but Pi would have to make up his mind up on his own. After each leader leave Pi's father tells Pi he has to make a decision about what religion he is going to choose. then in the morning his father makes fun of him by saying "At the rate that your going, if you go to the temple on Thursday, the mosque on Friday, synagog on Saturday, and Church on Sunday, you'll only need to convert to three more religions to be on holiday for the rest of your life!" I thought that was funny, but the best part was when he sees him later he asks Pi, " have you found time yet to cut the end of your pecker of and become a Jew?" HAHA, poor kid, but it's hilarious.
