Life of Pi chapter 3 Cont
Hi, everybody
With the 3rd chapter of the novel Life of Pi what we have started, Pi’s narrative resumes, as he reflects on his boyhood in India. Pi relates that he was named after a pool. His parents did not like water, but he learned to swim from a family friend, Francis Adirubassamy, whom Pi calls Mamaji. In India we call our uncle or In our religion we call our Mom’s brother “Mama”,”Ji” is used just as a respect. Mamaji was a champion swimmer when he was young, and he sees in Pi a love for the ritualistic nature of swimming, stroke after stroke. Mamaji’s favorite pool in the world is the Piscine Molitor in Paris, and it is after that pool that Pi received his unusual name.
