"Life on a lifeboat isn't much of a life. It is like an end game in chess, a game with few pieces. The elements couldn't be more simple, nor the stakes higher."
Pi strips down to the essentials is necessary for communication with God. He says "A full, varied life with many distractions can cloud faith or even make it unnecessary." Why does Pi believe he doesn't need anything for a relationship with God? Why is living on a boat not a life for Pi?
"My greatest wish -- other than salvation -- was to have a book. A long book with a never-ending story. One I could read again and again, with new eyes and a fresh understanding each time." Explain Pi's point of view on learning and understanding.
"The lower you are, the higher your mind will want to soar."
Living on a boat gave Pi a new routine, why is this strange for Pi? Around this time Pi turns to God. At his lowest point, he turns to his faith and imagination. How does these resources help Pi?
