Chapters 51-53 [175-197]

This section starts off with Pi finally replenishing himself with water, then he realizes the situation he's in. he want's to flee the life boat, but knows that will bring certain death with the starved sharks.
instead of planning his next move he digs through the Survival Kit and takes inventory of what he has. The acounts for all of the food and all of the fresh water he has availible. he uses some equasion to see how long he will last and calculates that the water should last him 196 days while the food should last him 152 days. This makes him pretty happy and then he finds other materials like a buck knife, a rope, and a lot of life jackets.
After Pi takes his time to chill out and relax, he is rudly awakend by the hyenna who is having another spaz attack. The only differance about this spaz attack is that Richard Parker finaly gets fed up with it and attacks the hyenna. The hyenna doesn't even try to defend itself, just lets the Tiger take it's life.
After Pi witnesses this he doesn't give it a second thought. he makes a raft from the rope, oars, and many life jackets and goes out on the water to get away from the mad tiger. he attaches a rope from the life boat to the raft so the two don't drift away from one another.
I made the decision that Pi want's to live. maybe he's spoted a glimmer of hope and decides that he wants to survive. He has shown a lot of problem solving and a lot of determination to get away from the tiger too.
