What events or conflict happen in the Life of Pi to emphasize the theme?

English
1 answer:
german3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

The major conflict is related to Pi's fight for survival after he is stranded at sea when the ship that he and his family are travelling to Canada on sinks. To resolve this conflict, he has to face both internal and external challenges. The biggest conflict Pi faces are against the natural environment. Pi also faces terrifying weather conditions that make life at sea unpredictable. Pi describes a storm that ''came on slowly one afternoon. The clouds looked as if they were stumbling along before the wind, frightened. The sea took its cue. It started rising and falling in a manner that made my heart sink.'' The storm destroys the raft and many of the supplies on the lifeboat. He also faces many other challenges, such as being forced to battle the elements, animals, and a carnivorous island while stranded at sea. This links directly to the theme, which is about struggling to survive through difficult odds. The shipwrecked inhabitants of the little lifeboat don’t simply give up: they actively fight against it. Pi abandons his lifelong vegetarianism and eats fish to sustain himself. Orange Juice, the peaceful orangutan, fights ferociously against the hyena. Even the severely wounded zebra battles to stay alive; his slow, painful struggle clearly shows the sheer strength of his life force. As Martel makes clear in his novel, living creatures will often do unexpected, and sometimes heroic things to survive. However, they will also do barbaric things if pressed. The hyena’s treachery and the blind Frenchman’s turn toward cannibalism show just how far creatures will go when faced with the possibility of extinction.

Hope this helped!

Describe the tense conversation between Trevor’s mother and the minibus driver.
BabaBlast [244]

The conversation between Trevor's mother and the minibus driver showed how the enmity between the Zulu and Xhosa tribes was violent and full of cruel stereotypes.

We can answer this answer because:

  • Trevor's mother was from the Xhosa tribe, while the minibus driver was from the Zulu tribe.
  • These tribes were enemies and when the driver realized that Trevor's mother was from the Xhosa tribe, he started treating her very badly.
  • He spoke many curses to Trevor's mother and accused her of being a promiscuous and immoral woman, as this was a stereotype of the women of the Xhosa tribe.
  • Trevor's mother didn't take the curses and rebutted them with as much dignity as she could, but that wasn't enough to silence the driver.

Trevor claims that the Zulu and Xhosa trios were very different from each other, particularly in terms of their stances against the colonial elite. He claims that the Xhosa were positioning themselves politically and diplomatically, while the Zulu were positioning themselves in a combative and violent way.

This question is related to the book "Born a Crime."
