Life of Pi - Day 11



We'll watch this video about Indian food together. Then we will read chapters 90 and 91 out loud. Our conversation will explore what happens in these chapters and Pi's condition at this point in the narrative overall.

  • Are the dialogues in chapter 90 real or imagined? In what ways can they not be real? Not be imagined? Are there other possibilities?
  • What are these chapters saying about the distinction between animals and humans?
  • What happens at the end of chapter 90 - and why?
  • What role does blindness play in these chapters?
  • What do you make of the "story" Pi tells?
