Life Of Pi Lk21 ((new)) Page

The most profound moment occurs at the end of the journey when Pi presents two versions of his survival. In the first, he is on a boat with a zebra, a hyena, an orangutan, and a Bengal tiger named Richard Parker. In the second, the animals are replaced by humans—his mother, a sailor, and a cook—and the story becomes a gruesome tale of cannibalism and murder.
