Life of Pi

Life of Pi  is a story of a boy that in his way to Canada a big tragedy happens and his ship sank with all of his family and animals from the zoo that his parents used to have back in India. He is left in the ocean over seven months with a tiger named Richard Parker, with no help of the world. What is the true meaning of this?

There isn't any, because the allegory if the story of Life of Pi is not what happens to Pi and Richard Parker is the symbols that Martel expresses in the book. Is things like a number 3.14, the idea of three religions and how we as humans see the world. The meaning or the allegory of the book is not about how much Richard Parker and Pi suffered in the seven months. Is actually how we see the world from what we know and would like to experience. In class we said that the actual allegory of Life of Pi was to give a meaning to life. I think that the whole perspective was to do every thing you can to see the world in different points of view. Like Pi he saw the world in three different ways because of the religions that he followed, this helped him in understanding himself and the world.  

Why?

Mostly everyone in the world knows how to write and read. But not everyone has a purpose of doing it, if you go to school you need to write down note, same if you are in college. But there are the others that do it for other reasons as to tell stories, opinions or facts and also to tell the meaning of life through different eyes.This are some topics that people mostly writers talk about. But what is a good writer?

I say that there is no good writer, because you can right something that a lot of people might think that is perfect but others might think the opposite. It all comes down to peoples opinions, because I consider myself a "writer" a simple teenage girl that hows to school every five days, has friends and still has the internal question of who she is. I believe is the same for others, that at the last minute of your life you know what piece of the game you played in the world. But mostly people right from their imagination, life experiences and other events because they want to know.

I really have never liked writing because school and my teachers have made my hate it. Is all because of you HOMEWORK! I hope that in the future when I learn a little about myself and the ones that surround me, I can start liking writing a little more. But for now I don't see that happening.          

Pi

Pi was the name that had everyone in question. What is the meaning of Pi? We know that is the name of someone that has suffer most of his life. Pi means something for its family and friends, a nickname. But after all that Pi has been through it has a different significant.  What is Pi? A number 3.14 that is the circumference of a circle, because his real name is Piscine meaning pool. But why did he decided to use Pi (3.14) as a nickname? Probably it was just because or waset that he knew that he was someone in life or infinite.

Animals or Humans !

Once we were wild, free and basic,
humans had to survive for there lives.
Animals had liberty to run with the wind,
to not be fearful of a cage.

Humans evolved they didn't,
we grew as a civilization, we grew in power.
We had control of are food, freedom and  lives,
even of the animals that we once were fearful of.

We became cities, states, countries and enemies,
of the animals and are own.
We made war, military and guns,
that then for are  pleasure we made zoos.

To see all the little cute animals trapped,
for years, surrounded by laughing kids and dads taking pictures.
They will never be free because once they get old they go,
"to a better place".

Now the question is, "Are we the animals"
because we have no feeling and hearts.
So are the animals the humans? They are not the once killing each
other by the cutest designers bag.

I Go back to May 1937

A poem of someone that still does not exist. Sharon Olds wrote of an unborn child trying to explain to his parents that their marriage would be a nightmare. First Sharon explains the setting of the poem, it starts in a "formal gate of their college" which means that they are about to graduate and also get  married. The main character which is their son is trying to tell them that what they are about to do is going to hurt children and they as well will suffer in ways they never heard of. He wants to change everything, make the lives of his parents go in different directions. But at the same time he doesn't because he knows that if he changes the future he will never come to be. " I want to live" be someone in life, and experience things that make you feel human.          

Simple old hat..

In class our teacher asked a question, "What will make a better story a hat or an elephant inside a snake? As I thought many people said the elephant inside a snake was a better story. I respect their opinions but how can a be a better story? What is so amazing of a poor elephant being eating by a snake? Hello!Traumatizing!The hat, can have many stories and good stories that can have meaning. I hat can be simple but how many things have changed to be amazing.  A elephant inside a snake is so plain, ok the snake eat the elephant. How scary! How is the elephant going to get out? This story seems so childish. Hey people we are in High School now.          

I wonder...

In class we read a love story by George Bogin named Nineteen, it was really confusing and it left many people wondering. One of the questions that I asked myself were, "Was George the Mr.Lonely as many people call him?", or "Was she the one that got away?". Most people say that he was stupid and a loner because of the fact that he was a coward that never had the courage to say hi. Just a simple "hi".

I believe that is the story of a past crush, now he is a middle age man that still remembers its could it been  first true love. The moment that he walked out of the Philosophy Library he knew that he never was going to have a second chance to talk with her, because I feel that she liked him back and she as well was shy. Now in his old age he feels that he won't have that feeling ever again, the feeling of innocence.

What is a reader?

                                                               

              Everyone can read, some read what they want and some don't even read at all. It all comes down to the type of person they are. The type of thing they enjoy in life and the ones they hate. A true reader, is the one that loves books, magazines, articles or even their textbooks. Its a passion a hobby something that makes you feel safe and confident. Reading books doesn't mean that you are going to like every one of them, it means that you might learn something from yourself. They open new worlds, new ideas that you can explore and get your own thoughts about, you might like them or you might not, but its the place that they take you to that you enjoy the most. 

My reading timeline started when I was about 5- years old. I would read books like Don't Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus! by Mo Willems and The Very Hungry Caterpillar by Eric Carle. This books were my life at that age. I remember making my father read them to me every night, no I mean every night. Now that I'm older, everything changed. I have more responsibilities as school, at home and a lot of homework . I don't read as much as I would like. What I read now are my textbooks and some  book projects. 

     To be a good reader takes many years, first you need to learn more about yourself and the world to get the concepts of the books. I consider myself as just a simple reader. I'm 15 years old and I still have a lot of things to learn. One of my favorite authors this past year has been Jay Asher. He is a really talented writer, that makes you go into the story and be the mean character. This types of book like the ones Asher writes are the ones that I consider to be for a "simple reader" like me. I read this book because I had to do a project but I actually liked it and I have already read 3 books from that author.

   Reading will always be part of me, not because its something that I enjoy its also because of school. In future years I will have to read for High School and College hoping that in those years I can become the "good reader" I hope to be.
