How did the presence of Richard Parker help Pi?
Advertisements
उत्तर
Pi had to be alert to stay alive in the presence of a 450-pound heavy tiger whose moods may swing. The tiger’s presence did not allow him to think much about his family and the tragic circumstances he was placed in life. He had to keep alert to stay alive. He hated Richard Parker but was grateful to the animal for keeping him out of despair, an enemy much more formidable than the Bengal tiger.
