Setting cont.

In Life of Pi there are three main settings. They include the Pondicherry Zoo, the lifeboat, and Mexico. At the zoo Pi and his brother learn many lessons of nature and learn to fear animals. They learn certian animals flight distances and how to reduce them. The most dangerous animal at the zoo is said to be the elephant. Their dad teaches them to fear animals by making them watch a tiger feast on a goat. While moving their animals to Canada, the ship the Patels are moving on sinks. Pi is thrown onto a lifeboat with a tiger, zebra, hyena, orangutan, and a rat. Pi makes a raft out of life jackets and oars. The boat is white while the tarp is orange. Upon arriving in Mexico, Richard runs into the woods. Pi is taken to the hospital and is very sick. While being interviewed by two Japanese men, he keeps asking for cookies.
