A Survivors Mental and Physical Battles (Comparative of Life of Pi and Cast Away
No one can be more appreciative of our daily necessities handed to us
other than a survivor. A survivor endured the greatest hardships just to remain
alive two great survivors which had to fight for their lives are Pi Patel a young
indian boy and Chuck Noland a middle aged Fed Ex intern. Their entire life
flashed in front of their very own eyes as they had to fight the environment, the
giant deathly ocean, and their very own fears.
Pi as a young boy was always interested in Religion and loving God. Even
with his father telling him animals are not his friends his religious side always
overpowered making him believe that every animal has a soul. When his father
scars him by showing Richard Parker devour an innocent goat Pi begins to re-
think his opinion on animals. However once deserted in the middle of the Pacific
with the tiger he then recognizes in order to be safe Richard Parker must feel
safe as well. Pi earns Richard Parkers trust by feeding him and helping him survive
upon the boat making the tiger react positive towards Pi. (even sharing the boat
with him) Pi was always taken care of by his mother and Father. His mother took
care of him and fed him and his father supported the family and taught Pi many
life lessons as well as shared his Zoology background. When Pi is on the boat he
recognizes he is responsible for himself and no one is there to help him stay alive.
As necessities are not easily available he recognizes his values are challenged in
order to stay alive. The main value Pi struggled with is vegetarianism. There is no
supply of vegetarian food available for Pi to eat from the ocean, recognizing
that he can only catch fish to survive he battles his upbringing morals and eats
the fish choosing survival over religious beliefs. As Pi puts it ‘ I was alone and
orphaned, in the middle of the Pacific, hanging on to an oar, an adult tiger in
front
