Pi is finally forcing it upon himself to choose which religion he wants to really convert to, even tho he really doesn't want to. He still prefers to do all three at the same time. He askes his Father first which religion he should choose. His father, however, is very unreligious, but rather is a 'business man'. A business man has no time to have a religion, he does everything himself and has to be blessed with what he can provide for himself and family. So his father said he'd be no help, and to go ask his mother. When Pi asks his mom tho, she just has the intentions of telling him that he cannot do all three at the same time, even though he already knew this. Pi always though his mom was a christian, so he figured his mom would tell him he had to be one too. She was unreligios just like his father though. He realises that he has to make this decision on his own and make a choice to only have one. After all the consideration he takes, he finally chooses to be a christian. He askes his father to get him a prayer rug for him to pray on that way he doesn't get his pants dirty everytime he want to pray. He also feels left out because he goes to a christian school but has not been baptized.
Later that night he hears his father and mother talking about how strange it was for their child to go out and find three religions and try to convert to all three. They joke around about it for most of the night, and Pi feels pretty down about it.
Responce: I feel pretty bad for Pi. He did have a VERY crazy veiw on religions and how he was going to blend the three together. But his intentions were good. he was doing it to be a better person, and thats all he really wanted to do. I think thats good that he is trying to figure stuff out on his own, but he probibly should've got a little bit of help on this subject.
