Pi is visited by by two men ( Mr. Okamoto, and Mr. Chiba ), and is asked to tell his story. They don't believe that bananas float, or in the carnivorous island. They also are uncertain about the truth behind the tiger.
"Don't bully me with your politeness! Love is hard to believe, ask any lover. Life is hard to believe, ask any scientist. God is hard to believe, ask any believer. What is your problem with hard to believe?" Pi Patel ( Matel, 297)
" I know what you want. You want a story that won't suprise you. That will confirm what you already know. That won't make you see higher or further or differently. YOu want a flat story. An immobile story. You want dry, yeastless factuality." 302
As they landed on the beach, Richard Parker left the boat and went straight into the forest. Pi never got a chance to say goodbye. He was found some hours later by some people. Pi survived at sea for 227 days.

Pi gains his vision back as he continues to rinse it with seawater.
Pi is weak, and when he hears a voice, he decides to talk to it. At first they talk about food. Then Pi thinks it is Richard Parker that is talking to him. So, he asks him some questions, and in turn finds out he killed a man and a woman. When he hears the French accent, he realizes it is a person. The man boards Pi's lifeboat, and tries to kill him. R.P. ends up killing the Frenchman.
Pi wants to be able to get on the lifeboat more often, so he starts to exemplefy his dominance by blowing a wistle loudly while rocking the boat and making him feel seasick. He finally is able to gain complete dominence over him during a stare-down over a dorado fish.
Stopped looking for a rescuer almost entirely (Matel, 191) Soon after expending all of his flares (that happen to smell like Cumin), he sees the very high improbibility of being rescued by a ship. (Matel, 199)
Killed flying fish (broke neck)- very sad.
Soon after killed dorado (beat with axe hilt)- exstatic and proud.
"...a person can get used to anything, even killing" (Matel, 185)
He heard a noise in the night, and went on deck only to find a storm. When he was going back to his cabin with Ravi, he noticed there was water on the floor. Then he went back on deck and was thrown aboard a lifeboat. 16 years old.
Pi was originally Hindu, but he stumbled upon a cathedral, and decided to be a Christain as well. Soon, he walked into a mosque, and added Islam to his accumulation of religions he followed. Once the head of the different churches found out, they wanted him to chose just one (or in other words, their own belief), and gave him much pain about it. In turn, Pi just went to different places to worship.
He was named after a glorious swimming pool in Paris called the Pisine Molitor.
