INTRODUCTION TO LIFE OF PI SUMMATIVE

The Life of Pi.

This is a very funny review of The Life of Pi movie in under 4 minutes to get things started.

“I must say a word about fear. It is life's only true opponent. Only fear can defeat life. It is a clever, treacherous adversary, how well I know. It has no decency, respects no law or convention, shows no mercy. It goes for your weakest spot, which it finds with unnerving ease. It begins in your mind, always ... so you must fight hard to express it. You must fight hard to shine the light of words upon it. Because if you don't, if your fear becomes a wordless darkness that you avoid, perhaps even manage to forget, you open yourself to further attacks of fear because you never truly fought the opponent who defeated you.”
Yann Martel, Life of Pi


I will be blogging and discussing the topics of Zoos and the Modern World and also Zoo Lore with Life of Pi with text to text, text to world and text to self connections (readers response).
I hope you enjoy reading.
