Religion In Life Of Pi

He tells his faith, he tells them why but, they just question and tell him it is silly. Although, in the end, he had God by his side and an impressive story to tell that made them all believe in God. In a world contrasting between love and hate, light and darkness, Piscine Molitor (Pi) Patel marks his way into the nature of religion to guide himself of every step he takes of his life changing journey. God leaves Pi stranded, stranded in a cramped lifeboat with four wild, ferocious animals and stranded with no family left. As an important aspect of Pi’s survival, religion is used as a way to find meaning through combining the worlds of Islam, Hinduism, Christianity which results in Pi finding his true identity. From the days of a newborn, Hinduism plays a big part and acts as an obstacle throughout the course of Pi’s life.
On the other hand, Christianity compels Pi to keep Richard Parker, a four hundred fifty pound Royal Bengal tiger alive just as Jesus Christ sacrificed himself to keep his people alive due to his love and passion for them. At last, about fourteen years old, Pi discovers the beautiful religion of brotherhood and devotion, Islam. He loses his family on the sinking of TsimTsum, a storm hits him, lighting batters near the incredibly small lifeboat but, yet he is still dedicated to keep himself and his comrade alive throughout his expedition of endurance, danger and emotion due to Islam. Religion contributes to the audacious young boy as he develops into a man with a stronger and independent identity and is now known as the sole survivor of the tragic TsimTsum
