10- Einstein

Activity 8.1
 Piscine Molitor Patel is born and is named after a place in Pondicherry; Piscine Patel.
 Mamaji Teaches Pi to Swim at the age of 7
 Pi's father attempts to teach Pi about the animalistic part of nature and how dangerous it
can be. To prove his point Pi's dad ties a goat to the bars and lets nature take its course.
Obviously the tiger ate the goat in front of Pi, Ravi, Mom, and Dad and Pi was disgusted.
This culminated in Pi's survival knowing his limits and what he really has to do to survive
being stranded with Richard Parker. Without this he would have died after the food supply
for the tiger ran out.
 Piscine changed his name to Pi to stop the bullying of his classmates
 A very young 12-13 year old Pi comes across his first encounter with his two new
religions (Christian and Muslim). At this young of an age it is a lot to take in but it shows
his dedication and religiousness within him. It also starts a bit of conflict/tension between
him, his parents, and his gurus as they all want him to partake in only one religion.
 Pi’s family decided to sell the Pondicherry Zoo and go to Canda
 The tsim tsim sinks which is the ship that they are riding at the moment. The sailors
threw him onto the lifeboat with the hyena and then later the zebra leaped onto the boat.
Pi also saved Richard Parker thinking the tiger was a person. Lastly, he saved orange juice
when she floated over on a pile of banana.
 Pi and Richard Parker was the only one left on the lifeboat because Richard Parker ate
the hyena while the hyena killed the monkey and the zebra.
 Pi creates a raft in attempts to stay away from Richard Parker and establish a territory as
his own. He built out of oars and life jackets from the boat and this proved to be a crucial
key to his survival at times when Richard Parker would get on edge.
 Pi devises a plan on taming Richard Parker as he thinks that if they are going to survive
there must be a mutual agreeance between the two parties. Eventually Pi does tame
Richard Parker and they become very close friends and develop almost a mutualism between
them.
 Pi and Richard Parker land on an island they found meerkats and ate as many plants that
he could eat. Richard Parker was enjoying himself to but would always go back to the
boat at night. This island saved Pi from starvation because of the massive abundance of
vegetation.
 Pi choses to sleep in a tree on one night and drops a meerkat. He then realizes that the
island is carnivorous when he sees a human tooth within one of the plants. This saved his
life because if he didn't know then he could have died with one accident.
 Pi and Richard Parker land on the shore of Mexico. Richard Parker goes into the jungle
without saying goodbye to Pi. He states "...Then Richard Parker, companion of my
torment, awful, fierce thing that kept me alive, moved forward and disappeared from my
life forever".
