LOP contextuals p1

1.1 As Pi’s mum looks in the direction of the zoo(the direction of her husband)
Pi would expect that his dad feels a supernatural judgment in the form of
chills on his neck from his wife as he sent Pi to her to deal with.

1.2 To distract Pi with a book.

1.3 The book Robinson Crusoe is about a man who is in a shipwreck

(foreshadowing)

1.4 He reads a lot, since his mum would rather distract him with a book than
talk to him, and he is religious

1.5 Hinduism

1.6 He is saying that all religions lead to the same place.

1.7 Because he is in the middle of the ocean he is the centre of the circle and the
circumference is the horizon in all directions, and ‘Pi’ being the ratio used to
calculate the circumference of a circle and Pi being on stranded in the ocean
for 227 days and ‘Pi’ is rationalised to 22 over 7 so its almost as if the whole
thing was planned.

1.8 Comparing the Sun and its rays to crowd of overwhelming senses to a point
where you close your eyes. And the moon reminding you of being alone.

1.9 Idk what this is supposed to reference

1.10 He is struggling “also struggling with fear, rage, madness, hopelessness…”
