Life of Pi (Cause and Effect)

Have you ever seen the movie Titanic? In the movie, the boat hits an iceberg, crashes, and few people survive. Boring, right? Well, in the book Life of Pi, a boat does crash, and many people are presumably dead, but the main character, Pi, survives because he is thrown into a life boat. Also, another life boat is also set adrift near him, and he hopes its another survivor.

However, when he lifts the tarp, he is startled to find a Bengal tiger, a hyena, a zebra, and an orangutan. He covers the hole back up and gets back to his life boat. He takes a rope, and ties it to the front of the life boats, so that they are always together.

So, because he was thrown onto a lifeboat, he survives, and eventually lands in Mexico, where the only surviving animal, the tiger, goes running into the jungle. Pi starts a new life, and lives on.
