Life of Pi Media Assignment: Soundtrack

Song #1

Demi Lovato - Warrior

Song #1

"Pi's Challenges"

The song Warrior by Demi Lovato is about perseverance and strength. It’s about not giving up and delivers a powerful message about becoming stronger person from concering your challenging experiences in the past. When you believe and are determined to be successful, it proves you can handle more of what life throws at you. In the song, it says “I’m a warrior, now I got thicker skin” and “I’m a survivor”. These lines relate to Life of Pi. Not only was Pi a survivor, but he had a lot of strength along his wild journey. Pi had faced several challenges over the course of 227 days. After the lightning storm hits in chapters 80-95, the storm took Pi’s food, raft, and damage the boat. All Pi had left was a few cans of drinking water, Richard Parker, and an orange whistle. Even though Pi was alone with practicly nothing, he still had the strength to continue his journey and never give up. He was determined to find land and was the sole survivor of the sinking cargo ship.

Song #2

Survivor - Eye Of The Tiger

Song #2

"Pi's survival guide"

Pi is in the middle of the pacific with no sense direction of where to go. Pi had always been a vegetarian, which didnt last long, once he knew that he would have to survive. In Chapetrs 58-62, Pi came upon a survival guide in the locker of the boat and realized that he needed fish to survive. Not only did Pi need food, but Pi had to catch for Richard Parker. Pi had to by past any rules and do whatever in order to survive. This represents the song "the eye of the tiger" because the tiger is a symbol for Pi. Pi is releasing his inner animal by killing fish, meerkats, and even eating the flesh from his "brother" he encountered on the island. "Just a man and his will to survive"-eye of the tiger, relates to Pi in doing whateverhe needs to survive

Song #3

Imagine Dragons - Demons

Song #3

"Pi's sad memories"

The song demons by imagine dragons tells us that even though we look normal on the outside and seem fine, we all have a dark memory inside us,that makes us feels hurt,angry, or lonely.This relates to the lyrics in the song... "No matter what we breed, We still are made of greed"-Imagine Dragons. In Life of Pi, Pi looses his family and is the only surviver. He reflects back on why he was the only one to survive. Pi misses his family and feels lonely. This song relates to when Pi tells the story to the interviewers. His deep dark memory of the sinking ship brings him sadness knowing he lost his entire family. He misses them and is reminded of them when he thinks of the ship.

Song #4

Rachel Platten - Stand By You

Song #4

"Pi touches Richard Parker"

Over the coarse of the book, Pi states that he could not have survived without Richard Parker. Pi needed him and Richard Parker needed Pi. Pi stood beside Richard parker when he was struggling in the water to get onto the boat in the beginning of Part two. Pi tried to help him onto the boat. Also, when pi and Richard parker reached land and encountered a man, the man tried to kill Pi, but then Richard Parker defended him and feasted on the man. Another scene was after the rain storm. Pi and the tiger were both weak, and Pi thought he was going to die. Pi crawled under the tarpaulin to see Richard Parker, and finally touched him. The song is present in all of these scenes because at that moment in time, they were by eachothers side. "When Love, you're not alone, 'cause I'm gonna stand by you"-Stand by you

Song #5

Katy Perry - Roar

Song #5

"Training Richard Parker"

When Pi decided that it would be best to train Richard Parker, he had to think like a tiger. He blew his whistle so loud that the tiger would be afraid and back down. Pi had gained power over him and was finally starting to feeling a bit more comfortable in the boat rather then on the raft. Katy Perry's song "Roar" can be seen as Pi's power over the Tiger when training him. The lyrics "i got the eye of the tiger" refer to how Pi studied Richard Parker's habits and routines on the boat. "You held me down, but I got up (HEY!) Already brushing off the dust" represents how Richard Parker would roar and swat Pi, but Pi would continue to blow the whistle louder and be brave.

"You hear my voice, you hear that sound. Like thunder gonna shake the ground", represents Pi's voice over the roar of the tiger. This means that now Pi was in charge and the Richard Parker would obey him
