The Life of Pi: Section 2

Section two is a part of the book where one with a weak stomach might need to take a break or two.  But the  initial focus is put on Pi's religious practices.  If one were to place people into certain sects or religions, Pi would not fit into any one of them exclusively.  He simply wanted to find one way to God, and does not care about the specific details that might entail.  Eventually he did get baptized and such and found his way to God.  Later, after Pi's father makes the decision to move to Canada, the narrarater meets Pi's wife and children.  Soon Pi's decision to set sail on a ship turned bad as the ship crashed and sank.  Pi was spared on a lifeboat and ended up with a tiger named... Richard Parker?  Pi would go on to explain the name for the tiger.  As he goes on living with his new "family" in the animals he was with, the hellacious part of this section comes with the actions of the hyena that he was with.  Then he finally find himself some water.  And did he relish in the joy of it!!  This section really revealed a lot about Pi's character and more of what he really was deep inside.  Anybody put in those kind of conditions would probably also show their true colors.  This is obviously not a great stopping point, so I ended up going further before I was supposed to (oops), but I would not necessarily define that as a problem.
