In Yann Martel’s book Life of Pi, the main character Pi becomes a Christian and practices his faith even when shipwrecked at sea with a 450 pound Bengal Tiger. This book shows all the trials Pi goes through during his 227 days at sea, all the while he keeps his faith. In a lot of the challenges he faces, he turns to God and can relate to the challenges his Savior has been through as well. He may believe in many faiths, but Christianity shows a lot of similarities in his many trials he goes through.
Christianity is a religion built on the life and words of Jesus the Nazareth (“Christianity”). It is a beautiful religion told by the words of many men. Jesus was born by a virgin named Mary, and grew up to tell everyone about God. Jesus was the …show more content…

He loved God (Martel 91). Pi and God were alike in many ways. One story from the bible was when God got separated from his parents when he was 12 years old (“Christianity”). Fortunately he found them later, unlike Pi, but they both knew what it was like to be separated from loved ones. God and Pi both faced several challenges, and both never lost faith. Whenever Pi was blessed with rain water, food, or anything he believed was a blessing he thanked God. He never forgot to thank the one who gave it to him, and that showed how much of a committed Christian he was. Pi also survived being out at sea for 227 days with Richard Parker, a 450 pound Bengal Tiger. He trained and fed the tiger. They were all each other had. Pi took the challenge God gave him and never gave up. He always thanked God, and this was another extreme trial that he conquered. Jesus went through trials like this also. He was crucified on a cross and then awoke in his tomb 3 days later! (“Christianity’). Neither of them gave up on God, no matter what the circumstances.
Although Pi may have had many faiths, he used Christianity in times of need, and never forgot to thank God. His patience with Richard Parker, and with God, was astounding. Pi had a few rough patches, but came out victorious with the help of God and some bravery. The book Life of Pi was a book based of many religions, especially Christianity. Pi used this religion to help him survive 227 days at

His belief of God watching over him gave him a lot of motivation Pi explains his struggles when he says “You might think I lost all hope at one point. I did. And as a result, I perked up and felt much better. We see it in sports all the time don’t we?” (Martel 134). At this moment, Pi decides to disregard Richard Parker and focus on his thirst. He thinks back to how when Jesus was crucified, that his only complaint was thirst. This gave Pi a reason to help himself by letting go of his worrying. As he slowly becomes more depressed, Pi comes to the realization that “God’s hat was always unraveling. God’s pants were falling apart. God’s cat was a constant danger. God’s ark was a jail. God’s wide acres were slowly killing me. God’s ear didn’t seem to be listening.” (Martel, 209). Whenever Pi starts to upset about his situation, he yells about how everything symbolizes God.

    They brought me comfort that is certain. But it was hard, oh, it was hard. Faith in God is an opening up, a letting go, a deep trust, a free act of love.” (Yann Martel, Life of Pi, 231) At a certain point in his journey, Pi started to question God because he could not understand why God was not listening to his prayers and in reality if God was with him, how was God letting him go through all this pain. He also started to learn that he could not be completely faithful to what each religion stands for. Pi had to kill a fish and he felt very guilty and sad about doing so but he knew he had to put aside his Hindu beliefs to survive. He had to adapt which consequently added more disbelief into Pi’s head. However his adaptations were not just ignoring rules but it was also him trying to adapt to figure out a way how he could oblige to each religion 's way of communicating with God (Praying). For Islam, he had to figure out which way Mecca was so that he could pray, solitary masses without priests and communion hosts for Christianity, and darshans without murtis for Hinduism.

  • The Life of Pi Reflection

    1083 Words  | 3 Pages

    The Life of Pi by Yann Martel was a fascinating and exciting narrative that described the journey of a young boys life starting with the formation of his beliefs moving all the way through an adventure that changed his life forever. I found it extremely engaging on both a philosophical level and a psychological level as I saw Pi, a young boy, curious about life, discover both religion and go through an extremely traumatic experience. I found Pi's devotion to God to be an uplifting example that many people throughout the world should see. Although I do believe that Pi was confused about how to best love God, I admire his efforts and believe that his dedication is sincere. I also found the psychological aspect of Pi to be almost as fascinating as religion. I could see from the beginning that Pi was quite thoughtful and always tried to think before he acted. However, what I found even more fascinating than his pre-planning cognitive abilities was how he thought when he was under great stress. Perhaps the best example of how he coped with stress was towards the end of the book when he tells what may be the true story, and we can see that he may have represented everyone as an animal in order to deal with the situation. This provides valuable insight into Pi's mind and opens a whole new area of possibilities when considering how Pi thinks. This ending leaves how Pi thinks open to interpreting which adds a intriguing aspect to the book. Beyond the religious and theoretical aspects of the book, the adventure seen kept me on the edge of my seat until the very end. Every time it seemed Pi was about to die or give up hope, an astounding miracle would suddenly save him. I found the effect of these suspenseful moments to cause me to want to...
