His family owns a zoo in their hometown in India. Early in Pi's life, his father realizes that his son's naivety about the tiger in their care may put Pi in danger. When Pi is a teenager, his family decides to sell the animals and immigrate to Canada on a cargo ship. During the voyage occurs terrible tsunami. After seeing a tsunami coming, Pi decides to go inside of the cargo. The next morning, he finds himself with a tiger which name was Richard Parker. Pi is scared because he things that a tiger would eat him once he gets hungry. So, Pi tried to find food for him and for a tiger. Pi had some tools in in the lifeboat, which helped him to build a second watercraft, which was made out of oars and lifejackets. Although Pi is trying to fully train Richard Parker, by blowing a whistle and rocking the lifeboat enough to make the tiger seasick.

During the voyage, another castaway in a lifeboat appears, also blind and also very hungry. Pi allows the man, who speaks with a French accent, on the lifeboat, believing him to be a true companion. The man attacks Pi, saying that he intends to eat him; Richard Parker attacks and consumes the man. After that, Richard Parker and Pi eventually find an island, which is made entirely of trees, roots, leaves, fresh water, and plants.

Richard Parker runs into the wild and is never seen again. Pi is brought into custody, given food, and questioned for some time by officials. I would recommend this book to people who thinks that life is great. People should understand that there is people who suffer in this life by not having a house and having hunger. I chose this book because it tells the significant of life.
