You've Got a friend in me


The song that our group chose to represent "Life of Pi" is the song You've got a friend in me.

This song reminds people that when they are going through a hard time a friend can be the person to help them through the hardships. In the " Life of Pi" Pi is stranded on the life boat for 227 days. Since he is stranded with many animals he knows that he has to find a companion to keep him up in high hopes until he reaches home. That friend is Richard Parker. Richard Parker is the only animal on the life boat that in end is a good friend to Pi because he fights off the the hynea who was going to kill Pi for food. This is a turning point in their friendship and from there on Pi looks at the journey as either they both survive or they both die together.

* Pi is also very religious and as many of us have experiences music is a key factor in each of our different religions we practice. 

-Hinduism, Islam and Christianity

This is a hindu song that Pi could have listened to. It is very different from our culture but it was interesting to read a novel where the main character experimented with three different religions
