After Pi fleed the boat in the last chapter, he sits and ponders on his raft, thinking of plans to get rid of the tiger. His first plan was to push the 450 lb tiger off the boat, like that would work. His second idea was to kill him with seven morphine surenges, even tho he knew he wouldn't be able to get close enough and he didn't know if the amount of morphine would be enough to kill an adult tiger. Plan three was to attack him with all availible weaponry, but the more he thought about it the more he decided he didn't want to piss it off. The fourth plan was to strangle the tiger with a rope, he was to scared to get close enough to even attempt. His next few Ideas were very hopeful but could never be possible. the last idea Pi had was to wage a war of attrition. He knew he could do that, wait it out until the tiger dies. he had plenty to eat but nothing to drink. so Pi would wait to get on board until the tiger had died of natural causes.
Pi is pretty smart to Plan these things out before he acts on them. I think it help him out a lot that he's not on the same boat as the tiger anymore and on a raft, so he's not acting on deperation, fear, or dispair.
The next chapter is when Pi sees the tiger peaking it's head over the edge of the boat looking as if to spy on Pi. Pi believes he is just being curious so he isn't as afraid of him any more but his mind keeps repeating 'plan nuber six, plan number six, plan number six'. but he's doesn't wasnt to get rid of the tiger anymore, now he see's it as he needs the tiger inorder to survive.

ReplyDeleteReally like the consistency with this blog, but the page quotas just aren't here. According to your logging, you've put in about 55 pages or so over the last three weeks. We were looking for 200 pages for this. See if you can find space in your day to make reading more of a habit, maybe.
