    The Romans thought that Britain was worth conquering because it yields gold, silver and other metals and pearls in the seas. The Britons were rather submissive following being conquered, in that they were obedient to the new leaders. Even so, they dreaded slavery and always put up a fight to prevent it. Unlike the Romans, the Britons didn't view women as inferior, but instead allowed them to hold very high ranks and offices in society, government, and the military.…

    The Life of Pi

    • 346 Words
    • 2 Pages

    In the book, “Life of Pi”, I believe Martel was aiming to express the importance of understanding that life is a story. The example of the two different stories at the end is to convey how human beings have different ways of identifying the truth in a story. Pi shows us this when he says “I know what you want. You want a story that won’t surprise you. That will confirm what you already know. That won’t make you see higher or further or differently. You want a flat story. An immobile story. You want dry, yeastless factuality”(Martel 302). Martel is trying to convey the message, how one human may understand a story can be totally different from how the other sees it.…
