Final Blog

As partners, Chelsea and I carefully went over and analyzed each picture we used for Pi's blog. For each blog that we completed we made sure that the chosen pictures suited the topic's and themes. Most pictures that we used are of Pi and Richard Parker in the boat or in the raft. One picture is supposed to be of Richard Parker attacking the blind frenchman. The last picture used in the last blog was a picture of an island to represent the algae island. We used a darker background to suit the main picture used under the blog title. We used this picture of Pi and Richard Parker because it seemed different and unique from the rest. It is a picture where Pi and Richard Parker are finally not on a boat.
For the fonts we used "Times New Roman" because it is the same font used in the novel and it seems to suit Pi's character. It is a pretty simple font, and Pi is not that crazy of a person. We chose the lighter colour font so that it would stand out on our darker background.
All in all, we are happy with the way our blog turned out and we hope it will interest readers. The Life of Pi is more interesting than you may think.

Algae Island

I would have to admit that the discovery of this green island was an exciting moment for me. From far away when I saw such trees, I still continued to disbelieve my eyes. The closer I got, the more anxious I was to explore. The first thing I discovered about this island was that it had no soil and the trees appeared to have stood in a mass of vegetation. At first I was disappointed but I soon became satisfied in the beautiful green colours I was observing; especially after seeing so much blue sky. The second thing I discovered on this island was the algae, and boy was it delicious. It had a light sweetness to it that didn't even compare to fish or turtles. I was so happy to finally eat something different for once.

Attack of the blind frenchman

The moment I heard the words “Is someone there?” I immediately froze because I did not know what to think. I cannot remember the last time I have heard another voice other than my own, and what a great feeling it was. The words came again “Is someone there?,” like music to my ears. I did not know how to react or to respond to that matter, but I was hopeful to finally hear someone speak to me. I don’t know who it was, for I could not see but I soon found out that they were blind also. At least I was not alone.
We talked about food, rice and sambar for example. The discussion of food had made me unbelievably hungry. Soon enough the voice had been getting louder because it was coming closer to me. I began to feel more hopeful to finally touch the other person. I was so excited that I did not realize what they were trying to do. Attack me. It could have been worse but thank God for Richard Parker for saving my life. The other person was planning on having me for dinner.

The new raft

I have decided to build a separate raft that will be attached to the boat by a rope, it will keep me a safe distance away from Richard Parker. I found some extra life jackets and ors that can help it stay a float. The only problem is that I will be floating right above a school of shark. Along with the life jackets I found enough food to keep me alive for 124 days. Upon finding this food hope was restored to me. The sun is reeking havoc on my health and I was feeling very week and tired. Perhaps I will be able to finally get some well earned sleep tonight, without the fear of Richard Parker wanting to kill me.

My growing fear of Richard Parker

The sun is starting to set. I cannot sleep for the fear of Richard Parker is going to attack me in the brutal way he attacked and killed the hyena. As it grows darker my hopes of survival start to fade and Richard parker disappears in the shadows of the tarplin, I can't imagine lasting much longer. it’s a constant struggle to deal with the elements of the weather and having no food or water.
