Post #5: LOP Questions
For your new blog response, post two questions about Life of Pi. They can be anything that you're curious about, things you'd like the class to explore, etc. (for example, why does he spend so much time talking about his name?)
Due: Before our next class meeting
HW Reminders: Do all the reading assigned, but don't worry about the brainstorming, outlining, or research question work. We'll be doing all of that in class on Monday.
1. why does pi's father call his wife "my bird"? 2. why does pi's father pick the tiger out of all the animals to teach them a lesson if all the animals are dangerous?
1. Does the author have an agenda of educating the public on zoo etiquette? 2. How is the ferocity of the tiger going to tie into Pi's adventure with a tiger?
Would Pi have majored in something different than zoology if his father was not a zoo keeper?
Does the quote, "It is true that those we meet can change us, sometimes so profoundly that we are not the same afterwards, even unto our names."(25) forshadow how Pi comes to his faith?
1. if his dad used the tramitizing tiger annalogy then why does pi still love the zoo and has it as his major? 2. why did the author all of a sudden introduce the mom, where was she before?
