OR Blog #44: For today's outside reading blog theme of overcoming odds, I picked to blog about the book "Life of Pi". This book definitely fits into this blog assignment. Throughout the book things don't go so well for him and the reader doubts if he'll survive. The main character, Pi, is stranded on a raft boat with a tiger and other animals after seeing the boat his family was still on sink. The other animals are eventually eaten by the tiger and Pi runs out of food for himself. But in the end, he pulls through and is able to get to shore. Pi overcame odds by not giving up and dying. He was smart and tried to stay away from the tiger until the it began to trust him and decided not to eat him. On the book of the book, The New Yorker reviews the book by calling it, "a death-defying trans-Pacific sea adventure". In this quote, when it says "death-defying", it shows the odds Pi had to overcome. This is my outside reading blog for today.
