Affective

The ship has sunk. We all know that in Life of Pi there is a dramatic ship sinking that leads to Pi's journey on the Pacific ocean stranded with a handful of crazy zoo animals. The scene starts with Pi waking up to a noise on the ship. "I think there was an explosion. But I can't be sure. It happened while I was sleeping. It woke me up." -Life of Pi, Yann Martel, Page 101. Pi describes the scene saying that everything was screaming, including his heart. Pi later does a "take two" and describes exactly what happened the night the ship sunk. He says that he was awakened by a noise and went to go check it out. He boarded the deck. It was storming outside, and he was hanging on for dear life. "This was adventure." -Life of Pi, Yann Martel, Page 102. He advanced to the deck and realized that the deck was leaning more toward one side. He came to the sudden realization that the ship was sinking. An Indian Wild Ox then charged on deck. Pi ran to go under deck with his family, frantic, when two men threw him off the boat and into a life boat. At first he thought that they were being generous, but then saw the hyena on the life boat and realized that they threw him off as bait to get rid of the hyena. The life boat falls into the ocean with Pi and the hyena. Later a Zebra jumps on, an orangutan was already on, and a tiger "Richard Parker" climbs aboard later.
