Today in class we played two different survival games - here is a link to the handout.
As we went over the answers we discussed not only the usefulness of each item, but also what the different goals and challenges facing the group are. Some people knew things others didn't, such as what Crisco is, the importance of signaling the plane, and the dangers of drinking the whiskey.
Pi faces these same challenges after the sinking of the tsimtsum. In chapter 52, that you'll read tonight, you'll see the list of items he has. Just like you, he knows how some of the things are potentially useful, but has no idea about the others.
How does he learn? How does he survive, which we, of course, know that he does?
