life of Pi Author? Pages Covered in this Entry?

The book Life of Pi is about an indian boy who lived in India then moved to Toronto. (it is very hard to fallow because they switch between present time and the past constantly and they switch between india and toronto a lot.)

One of the minor conflicts is that piscine had to change his name to Pi because he’s teachers and friends would constantly miss pronounce his name, they could get the first syllable right but hay cracked up by the second. so they called him pissing, and some times his teachers would call him that without correcting them selves.

What he did to some this problem. every time his teachers called him “pissing” he would get up,walk to the board and wright “MY NAME IS PICINE NOT PISSING PI-CENE” and for good measures he added “PI=(pi symbol)= 3.14” then he would go and sit down. and most of the time his teachers would say “ok thats great next time ask before you get up” 7/10
