Trusting yourself in sit...

From the latter, the Lazaro family “died” to each other as well. It made the do...

Conclusion: During the course of life of Pi, the theme of faith occurs often. Whether it is keeping Pi educated, alive or even kept in the back of people’s minds long after the novel ends.
