The chapter that I thought was valuable to me was chapter 3. The reason why I thought this chapter was valuable was because when he explained how he was named after a swimming pool and to me a swimming pool is actually very valuable to me because during the summer I don’t think I could personally live without it. ( I probably would not last very long in a place where it is always cold and there is no summer lol). Talks about how his brother nearly drowned him. And how mother had almost a panic attack. He went to the pool three times a week during his childhood and he talks about how much fun it was and how he enjoyed it. Explains how at the beginning of those weeks he was slowly emerging in the water like a piece of clothing but then he finally got the hang of it and was able to swim like his little brother. This chapter is mainly valuable to me personally because it shows to never give up and to always keep pushing. It shows to not always try to be like someone else and try working to your level of things instead of theirs.
Riley Schroeder A lot of his morril value got brought into question one is if there really is a tiger on bored then he never broke his morile values and that would mean that there would be an island out there that can kill fish. Also that richered parker killed the other person and he didn’t kill the other guy. But if there was no tiger that would mean that he broke his realigas morrill value and everything richerd parker did he did like the ailand was a human that he ate and the zebra and other animals he ate. Also the island was just the guy he killed and ate some but some he used to eat the maggots off of. Also instead of the guy getting killed by richerd parker he killed him and ate his flesh. Also then he didn't come up with the idea to come up with fishing with human flesh the cook did. So he broke all his morals, his religious ones and his on goals marrils that would be hard to live with. That is if there is no tiger other whise he broke no marrils and kept all of them to the letter and had nothing to worry about.
In chapter 35 the valuable or value of this chapter is that it shows how hard it can be to change and to make a new life from the life you used to live. It also shows how hard it can be when something changes and sometimes it changes for the better but it still can be hard. It also shows how difficult it can be to say goodbye to a life that you have lived for a long time or saying goodbye to someone you have known for a long time. One of the biggest values of this chapter is family and home because it shows how important family is and how important your homeland is. It also shows how important it is to stick together with your family no matter what may have to change. It also shows the value of trust and responsibility and also taking a risk and trying something different and new that might help you or your family. It also teaches you that if something in your plans in life does not work out or turn out the way you wanted it to, you must take life the way it comes and make the best of it no matter what happens.
Find and read a valuable chapter. What value does this chapter provide? I read chapter 64 because it talks about how the sun and salt in the water ate away at his clothes. I think that this is an important chapter because it shows that when you are exposed to the sun all day long what that will do to your body. Also, it talks about how the salt from the water just ate away at his clothes to the point where there were only seems left and then those fell off too. In this chapter, he also talks about how he would get wounds from the sun and salt on his skin that would take so long to heal and they gave him a lot of pain, to the point where he couldn’t even touch them without crying out. The only way that he could let the wounds heal was to stay dry so the salt couldn’t eat at his skin and open new wounds and or make the old wounds worse. So for the majority of his time in the ocean, he was naked and covered in skin wounds from the salt and sun. So I chose this chapter because I think it does a good job explaining what the sun and ocean salt will do to your body.
Webb, Parker Chapter 54. I believe it's the value of hope as it shows that he has hopes to live past this dreadful part of his life and push it onwards so he can go back to see other people nicer people who won't try to eat him and it's the hope that carries him on during the whole way and in this chapter, it's hope on for how to kill the tiger he hopes he can outlive it and let nature take it's course on the tiger before Pi passed away as hope is something of the main theme for the whole book and chapter the explanation is quite gruesome for the ways he planned on killing it but he's alone and the hope of seeing someone is what keeps him alive in this chapter to either end it all or keep going past this one dark moment, a decision hope is what drags him out as hope flickered to life within him like a candle into the night he wanted to push on and it's what I belive to be the value of this chapter is hope something that can push us past our boundraies to survive and help others.

This chapter is about how pi goes temporality blind and everything is not clear to him but then something begins inside of him which is madness starts to creep into Pi. Then pi is no longer able to see and he has a conversation with an unknown companion about their desire for food. When he is like this he justs goes on and on about what sounds good to him and so does the unknown companion does too but he changes things that are better to him. This value in which this chapter provides is that on how pi starts to go blind and he survives it somehow from being in the middle of the ocean somewhere where he can’t see anything and storms come and he survives them with him being blind. Also, this chapter shows the value of how hungry he is and he starts listing off all this food that sounds good to him because he is in the starvation mood. This shows value because of how he his blind and can think of food at the same time while trying to survive because he is starting to go blind from him not having anything in this body and he starts to get weaker and weaker and that leads to him start losing his vision. So I think that is what this chapter has value in.
The chapter that I read was chpt. 46, what Pi was going through showed what kind of issues he had to go through just in the first couple of nights of being on the boat. The author is trying to show us a well-written lesson in this chapter and leaving us to find it. It is amazing how he is able to tell the story and you are able to dig deeper into the words and find even more meaning than before. I think the values of this chapter are for one, about perseverance and self-motivation. Because in the chapter he seems like he is already ready to give up and die which I don't blame him, if I just lost my family, I would be in the same boat, (haha get it.....) But none the less, he mans up and is able to work hard and stay focused on surviving. This teaches a lesson to many about how they should never give up because if you believe in something enough, nothing will stop you. - Haas

I chose chapter eighty-three. In this chapter, it is when the big storm comes and Pi is deciding how he wants to die, if it's by the water and the storm that kills him or if it is Richard Parker the tiger. And when he is deciding he chooses animal so he jumps on to the boat with Richard Parker and he starts to untie the tarp so he is closer to Richard parker and the water knocks them around and he eventually stops and the storm stops and he checks if Richard Parker is dead and he is not. I think this chapter has value because he learns that he needs to fight the water and decides that the water is not going to kill him and if the tiger is not actually there he is deciding that he needs to fight so he can live and not to just give up and die. The other values I see in this chapter if the tiger is real they learn that they need each other to survive until they reach land or die of having nothing.
Meinert Pi is remembering a special dorado when there was fish flying and he was catching them so he could eat them.shielded himself with the back of a turtle shell so he didn’t get hit. He remembered that the fish weighed around 40 pounds and he was thanking Jesus-Matsya. I thought it was weird that he had said that the meat on the fish was fatty and fleshy because he is a vegan. I also thought it was weird that he was thinking that the eyes and the spine of the fish were a desert. Pi was so hungry that he looked into the tiger's eyes and saw so much strength that he wanted some of the strength and ate more of the fish. Pi had felt bad that the tiger didn’t have food so he gave a good chunk of the fish to the tiger. Pi was no longer afraid of Richard Parker. This surprises me because I would still be scared of the tiger because you don’t know when the tiger will snap back at you. I also think that I wouldn’t be scared of the tiger because You have fought with it and have been through a lot with the tiger.
Chapter 52 The value that this chapter provides is it gives us all the things that Pi had on the lifeboat in order to survive he also calculated how much he needed to eat per day to last him for 93 days of food and 124 days of water rations. It is a great thing that he calculated all of these things right away because if he didn’t he could have forgotten to do so then he would eat too much or too little. Pi knew that he needed to get food for Richard Parker otherwise he could have starved and died right away in the story and then Pi wouldn’t have someone that is always keeping him alerted and on guard if anything happened. Another value that this chapter provides is that it shows that Pi needed to start being more conservative and change how much you can eat and the value of knowing that it is this many days that I have of food, water, bait, flares everything that you will need to survive but then it’s not enough and you will have to start using bait to get fish and eat that to survive out there that goes without saying the amount of fish that Pi would have to get for Richard Parker as well.
Meinert chapter 80 Pi is remembering a special dorado when there was fish flying and he was catching them so he could eat them.shielded himself with the back of a turtle shell so he didn’t get hit. He remembered that the fish weighed around 40 pounds and he was thanking Jesus-Matsya. I thought it was weird that he had said that the meat on the fish was fatty and fleshy because he is a vegan. I also thought it was weird that he was thinking that the eyes and the spine of the fish were a desert. Pi was so hungry that he looked into the tiger's eyes and saw so much strength that he wanted some of the strength and ate more of the fish.

This surprises me because I would still be scared of the tiger because you don’t know when the tiger will snap back at you. I also think that I wouldn’t be scared of the tiger because You have fought with it and have been through a lot with the tiger.
In chapter 64 the most valuable part of the book talks about how the pie is in trouble because of his body. His body in bad shape his clothes are torn of levin his skin wide open to the sea water and the sun making his skin break down to part tearing off of him. He had a very hard time sleeping or finding a comfortable spot to lay down on the cause of his skin the water and the sun made his skin is so sensitive his skin started to open up sore. These were so painful that he had to scream out in pain and agony. He had a very difficult time because he had to stay dry so all of his sore can he up but it took a very long time because he is strong in a boat in the ocean where water is every so it is hard for him to stay dry. The reason for me for chose this chapter because this chapter show what the struggle were when he was out in the sea all by himself and how he has to deal with the troupe of the matters and what the salt and water can do to your body
That he had nothing to eat or drink for a long period of time and then he could not get rest cause he would get blisters and then he could only lay a sertend way and he was trying to stay dry and that did not always work then he would get new blisters and it would hurt more . sores would take a long time to heal and he would accidentally get salt in his wounds and cry out in pain . He did not have any cloths on and the cloths he did n\have on riped off . the blisters would come back if he did not stay dry and he had no way to stay dry cause he did not have any cloths . some place were super sensitive to the salt water and then that would hurt and make him mad and then he would cry out more.

In chapter 99 it is the japanese interviewing him trying to find out why the ship sank. Chapter 99 starts after he tells the tiger story and the Japanese don't believe it so they question all the stuff they think is impossible. But that gets them no where so they decided to as for a different story without animals and he tells them a story without animals. So I think the value of this chapter is that pi is staying strong through all this. The value of wondering what is right from wrong. It shows that everything is viewed different then it actually is. Also there are always two stories just everyone picks which one they like. Because they have never heard a story like that so they don't belive it. Even though it could be true because if you've never seen or heard of it why would believe it.
What makes this chapter valuable for me is because he talks about the part that they didn’t show in the movie and the part that I was curious about. At this point in the book when he was dying practically and the point that he went crazy. He talks about how he was going blind in the ocean. In this part of chapter 90 he knew that he was going to die and then an unknown man appears and they started to talk about things that they could not do anymore for obvious reasons. They talk about so many things and at some point is hard to believe that a real man is there and is really talk to him because is proven that when we are hungry and dehydrated we can have hallucinations. For a man to imagine that a tiger was talking to him you have to be really crazy because animals do not talk. When the part where the other man says that he is blind too and jumps into PI’s boat and he was laying and start to grab PI from his neck and the tiger saved his life. There are two ways to see this one is that we believe that the tiger really saved PI’s life which is believable than the other one for me. The second one is that PI let the tiger come out from his inside. This seems impossible because he was no strength any more days and days without food or water he has no energy in his body to kill this person that might have more energy than Pi. Pi does not have the teeth that Richard Parker has and he has no teeth as Richard Parker had to make the death of the man quickly as he tells so that is my reasoning about this. I love these 2 chapters because it tells something that people suffer when they are lost in the ocean and movies and other kinds of platforms hid from us and in the books they don’t.
The valuable chapter that I thought was Chapter 56. The reason why I think this chapter was valuable is that it says details about fear and also how we can overcome it. We might have fear in different parts of our life with some situations that we think might seem for the people that they can't keep on what they are doing in their life. For example, in the book, if he would've told himself that he can't go through that many days that he has stayed in the lifeboat he would've told himself that he can't go through that many days that he has stayed in the lifeboat he would've been automatically dead not bodily but mentally. I also think this chapter is valuable because not only you can read the book and think about what he was feeling when he was alone in the lifeboat. It also tells how you could overcome anything that seems impossible if he can stay that many days in the lifeboat without enough supplies by himself. He also says all the plains that he feels in his body at that moment. It also gives an advice to never let one thing stress you because if fear enters you it will keep getting worse, not better.
