Although some stories are written by completely different authors, countless stories can and have shared similar themes and ideals. One example of two stories that share similar concepts is the example of the stories: Sticks and Salt and Growing up Hmong in Laos and America.

There are all sorts of different ways we can infer, or physically understand the boundaries on Life of Pi. The obvious ones seen in the graphic organizer are the physical boundaries such as the cages that are separating the animals in the zoo.

Some similarities are small, like the magic talking fish; but others, like the underlying motivation to be happy, are very important to the morals of the stories. Both Sergei and the fisherman want to be happy, Sergei wants to be happy alone on quite fishing trips, while the fisherman wants to be happy with his wife. The morals, even though they are tied together, are fairly different. For example, the theme of ‘What of This Goldfish, Would you wish’, doing the right thing, no matter the cost, is not the same as be grateful, which is the theme of ‘The Fisherman and His Wife’. Other differences include: the consequences, setting, and major character motivations.
One of the most important similarity is that both stories are well enjoyed over generations and teach great life lessons that serve the sole purpose of the
Life of Pi film analysis I found the movie, Life of Pi, very beautiful. The richness of all the colors of the trees, the animals, the ocean, all of it was just beautiful. Not only was the quality of the visuals amazing but they also took what you would think would be the most boring story you could think of, a guy on a boat for 227 days with nothing to do but survive, and made it an action packed film that kept you on the edge of your seat the entire length of the movie. I give props for taking the book and making an exciting movie that I really loved out of it.

In order to survive a tough situation, it is essential to be physically and mentally fit. “The Story of Keesh” by Jack London takes place on the rim of the polar sea and, at the time the village men had to hunt for food in order to keep the villagers alive. The protagonist, Keesh is the son of a great huntsman and at only thirteen he was bright, healthy, and strong. And, in the excerpt from Life of Pi by Yann Martel the main character Piscine Patel, known as Pi, is stranded in the middle of the ocean with a Bengal tiger. Both Keesh and Pi can be described as open-minded, brave, and clever, and they use these characteristics to keep themselves alive during their journeys.
Although, they have similarity, the two stories has major differences also. First, both author differs the way they introduce and develop their lead characters to the reader.

As stated in an excerpt, “Several times I started bringing the hatchet down, but I couldn’t complete the action… A lifetime of peaceful vegetarianism stood between me and the willful beheading of a fish” (Martel 87).
Do you have what it takes to survive? Is it more valuable to be physically or mentally strong in a life or death situation? If you’re in a critical situation you’d want to be able to both outthink the issue and be prepared for the risks and calculate everything.

In the movie, Life of Pi, the main character Pi Patel makes convincing arguments for the existence of God through both natural religion and revealed religion.

In this essay, I will argue that Pi makes a stronger argument for the existence of God through natural religion.
