FOR MONDAY:
Here are some questions I'd like you to consider for our discussion on Monday. Please look them over, think about them and get ready to share your ideas. I want to hear from everyone with reactions to the movie.
1) At the end of the movie, adult Pi says "Which story do you prefer?" Answer the question: What story do you prefer? The one with Pi, Richard Parker, Orange Juice, the zebra and the hyena? Or the one with Pi, Pi's mother, the Taiwanese sailor and cook? Which story do you think is true?
2) After Yann, the author, tells adult Pi that he perfers the story of Pi and the animals, Pi says, "And so it goes with God." What does he mean by this? What is the connection between either story and God? Think about how the story is prefaced in the movie: "This is a story that will make you believe in God." Why would this story make someone believe in God?
3) The author Yann suggests to the adult Pi that Richard Parker represents another side of Pi. Why does he say this? If he believes this, what side of Pi do you think Richard Parker represents? Richard Parker goes into the Mexican jungle at the end of the film without saying goodbye to Pi -- if Richard Parker is indeed a side of Pi, what does this separation mean and why is Pi so upset about it?
4) What is significant about the island of carnivorous algae inhabited by the meerkats? Why did you think the author has Pi and Richard Parker's visit to the island as the narrative's final event before the two are rescued?
5) Much to his father's annoyance, Pi wants to believe and honor more than one religion? "You must choose one path," he says. What benefit does Pi see in practicing more than one religion? And why is his father so against it? And does his father's negative reaction to plurality (a word to look up if you don't know it) have anything to do with the brutal lesson he teaches Pi about animals with the tiger and the goat?
6) What are some of the lessons that Pi learns throughout his adventure? Is the lifeboat the narrative's central metaphor? If so, what does it represent?
