The Life of Pi - Part 1 (Photos)

Part 1

(Chapter 1, page 3): “I had the great luck one summer of studying the three-toed sloth in situ in the equatorial jungles of Brazil. It is a highly intriguing creature. Its only real habit is indolence. It sleeps or rests on average twenty hours a day”
In this photo you can see me holding a sloth in Brazil, in the Amazon. When I read this quote I remember when I went to the Amazon and I hold a sloth. These animals are very slow and soft, they are very cute, and it is amazing how Pi describes that while he was studying them he was in Brazil, I was as well in Brazil.

(Chapter 1, page 6): “It is a great country, much too cold for good sense, inhabited by compassionate, intelligent people with bad hairdos”
In this photo I am in Minnesota in winter where you can see the coldness in the environment. This image relates to this quote because Pi says that Canada is cold as well, with not many people outside.

(Chapter 15, page 45): “His house is a temple. In the entrance hall hangs a framed picture of Ganesha, he of the elephant head.”
This is an image of Ganesha surrounded by a blue blanket. I remember when I took this picture when I was in The World’s Fair in Chicago, and there all the different cultures had to show all their representative objects of their culture.

(Chapter 16, page 48): “But religion is more than rite a ritual. There is what the rite and ritual stand for. Here, too, I am a Hindu. The universe makes sense to me through Hindu eyes.”
This picture shows my hand with Hindu art. I did this when I was in the World’s Fair, and there I learnt a lot about the Hindu religion, is a very beautiful religion and that’s why Pi says that everything makes sense through Hindu eyes.

(Chapter 32, page 84): “There are confirmed stories of drowning sailors being pushed up to the surface of the water and held there by dolphins, a characteristic way in which these marine mammals help each other.”
In this photo we can see some dolphins helping each other, I took this picture in Sea World, as the quote says, these marine animals help each other a lot, they are very beautiful ,and The Life of Pi describes many animals I have seen and its very cool how I identify with Pi.

(Chapter 32, page 85): “Whatever the case, the mouse was bitten by a young viper but devoured-and immediately-by an adult.”

 This photo shows a tour guy who was bitten by a viper in the Amazon. You can never trust in animals because you never know how their instincts will be, but if you are in harmony with them they won’t harm you.
