The book I am currently reading is Life of Pi. The first 3 chapters were very boring giving unnessicary information about the main character. After chapter 3, it was almost like the story started giving in depth stories about what the main character does in the story.
The plot of these first few chapters was about the main characters life, and what he does. His family is in charge of a large zoo in India. In this chapter he talks about how a zoo animals life isn't all that bad. The coolest way he defends himself against critics that say these animals diserve to be free is by telling them, "Look, if someone barged into your house and said 'GO! Go on now, your free'. Rather than runing out of your house celebrating with joy, you would probibly look at this intruder like 'Get out of my house. Im calling the cops!"
I thought it was a funny way to put it, but then as he describes the zoo life and how these animals actually have it better than most animals in the wild. Compaired to the animals in the wild, they do not have as much space, but they don't have to contend for space, they don't have to go on day after day searching for food, and don't have to worry about paracites and diseases that could kill them.
Pi is really conected to these animals and lists off and describles multiple, big and small, animals that are at his zoo. He does a great job of painting a mental picture of this perfect zoo in your head.
