everything the narrator valued in life has been destroyed. Why do you think he still wants to continue in life from the book the Life of Pi
Answers
Explanation:
Cast adrift on the Pacific Ocean, a 16-year-old boy and a Bengal tiger survive in a boat together, for seven months. Even sceptical critics have remarked how successfully Life of Pi persuades the reader to suspend disbelief. This strange story is made credible by the logical, sometimes pedantic, unsurprisable voice of its narrator. Yann Martel wants us to hear how odd this voice can sound. This is why his book begins with a framing narrative: a story about how the story that follows came to light. It says that the author travelled to India in the wake of an unsuccessful novel, published in 1996. (Martel's novel Self did appear that year.) There a man told him about Pi Patel, now living in Canada. The author went off with his notebook and found him. (Occasional short chapters in italic print recall meetings and interviews with Pi in Toronto.) The novel is to behave as if it were a record, transcribed but not invented by its author.
Pi's voice is a peculiar, cleverly achieved mix of articulacy and awkwardness, sometimes eloquent but often naive. Sentences begin with the redundant phrases of an ingenuous narrator: "The thing was ...", "I tell you ...", "I'll be honest about it ...". Controlling any sallies of fancy, Martel has made him comfortable with clichés. The occasional madness of living things is "part and parcel" of the ability to adapt; Pi's father sells his zoo "lock, stock, and barrel". In the extremity of his unlikely predicament, truisms seem to become truer. Describing his realisation that he must "train" the tiger to reach an accommodation with him, he explains: "It was not a question of him or me, but of him and me. We were, literally and figuratively, in the same boat." Just so.
