Richard Parker is real. Religion is true, and Pi's journey centered around his religions. Martel's purpose for the reader was to allude irreligion and religion and work the reader's mind. Is the story Pi told rational as irreligion or was it impossible like religious concepts? It is real, because all things are possible.
Richard Parker did not exist. He was only a symbol of help and deliverance, and more broadly, Pi, himself. Martel's purpose was to show readers that their imagination is them and they can save their life even in a time as Pi's.
Your word diction for this rough draft is good. There is also evidence as to why you believe Richard Parker is real and not real. Your draft is believable and deep in a way.
ReplyDeleteI like how you are able to provide concrete evidence for both situations. You argument for both sides is also very clear and understandable.
ReplyDeleteYay, one more person agrees with me! I agree with you all the way. I like how you explained why you thought he wasn't real and gave your own thoughts.
ReplyDeleteI also agree that Richard Parker is real, I really like how you supported your answer as well. Good job, Jason!
ReplyDeleteI agree with you Jason. I liked how you gave evidence to make people believe it. Your draft was really interesting and a pleasure to read.
