Life of Pi: Chapters 37-43

There is a very noticeable difference between part one and part two of this book. While part one involves a lot of development of Pi as a character, these chapters are more story-line oriented. It was confusing and exciting. The themes of zoology and animals definitely made an appearance, with a talk about how hyenas are in the wild. I found it disturbing how Pi could have saved his family, but they were destroyed and he was the only one to escape. If Ravi had woken up, and not gone back to sleep, who knows what would have happened. Just because Pi did not want to wake up his father, his parents slept on. Another what if that Pi brought up was the what if the hyena was not on the lifeboat. It is a distinct possibility that Pi would have died. It is sort of crazy to think about how things would have turned out if only one detail was changed. This is true in most peoples lives, a sort of turning point, but it is especially true in this book.
