Q1: The Life of Pi, by Yann Martel, is an exceptional story in the sense that it is actually a story within a story. Throughout the second part, Piscine tells the reader about his long and difficult time aboard the life raft with a zebra, an orangatang, a hyena and even a tiger. The reader only really discovers at the end of the novel, during an interview with the two Japanese interviewers, that the entire story told by Piscine has been alternated. The reality is that every animal illustrated was actually a real survivor of the shipwreck. “What do you want to believe?” Piscine told the two interviewers. He did it to separate himself from the horrible, but true, reality he was forced to face, including the loss of his family. The most fascinating of all the characters is Richard Parker, who actually turned out to be Piscine. All this was done alone to keep himself in a healthy state of mind and to maintain hope in survival instead of having to think back on reality and enter a state of possible depression. The fiction versus reality that is created serves to support Piscine's statement of "what do you want to believe?" , as it changes the format of the story from boring to a lively adventure. Q2.1: Trying to create a film from the novel is a very difficult and arduous task. The novel relies heavily on one's imagination to bring it to life. It is a novel where the entire story is created around Piscine's imagination of the struggle for survival and hope on the life raft, whereby he uses his imagination to create fantasy and interest on board the raft. He creates characters, scenarios and even islands using his imagination, for this reason he searches ... in the middle of the paper ... the story of a boy stranded at sea, but rather a novel of great imagination and extraordinary scenes of events , thanks to which Pi becomes stronger in his mind and character. It's an incredible story, which becomes reality at the end of the novel, in which he admits to Japanese interviewers that he created his fantasy only to keep himself strong at will and to avoid giving up. be characterized by events such as the characters in Pisci's mind changing from humans to animals. Other events include the famous Carnivore Island, the taming of Richard Parker, and many more. Therefore I conclude that I believe that it should not be considered a castaway novel, focused on survival, but rather should be considered as an adventure, describing all the fantasies present in the story. .
