I recalled pi said to the journal from Canada, he has seen into the eyes of the tiger, but not as his dad said, he has seen something more than his own reflection, although he couldn't prove it by some mean, so what is it do you think he has seen from the eyes of the tiger besides his reflection?
later he expressed his sadness about seeing the tiger go without its turning around to say goodbye, and he then realized that it never considered him a friend, but he still loved the tiger? why did he have such profound affection toward the tiger ? because it motivated his willpower of surviving or just for companying him during the solitude ?

welcome your opinions thx

Answer

Actually the English in that passage is terrible. I can't really understand what is being said here. Where does each sentence begin?

Answer

I like your analysis, though.  I did read the book and I know what you're referring to.  Sounds like a viable understanding to me.  Good  luck!

Answer

I happened to be studying Can Lit the year Life of Pi it was written and it was added to our reading list.  1) I have NO IDEA what it means, any of it. 2) It's coming out as a movie, and I'm hoping to see that and see what someone else thinks it means.

I know that's not helpful but at least know there is one other person who has NO IDEA what that story is really about.  :-)
