Judging by the scenes that has happened about the fishes flying out of the water, to help Pi and Richard Parker survive without hunger. Also when Pi was in the carnivorous island the pond or lake he saw was glowing and I think it was expanding too. Based on these scenes you could tell that the story of Life of Pi is a magical realism. Although magical realism saids that it can be true and then not true, this makes things a little confusing. However Pi claims that his story is a true story but the world thinks its a fake story. This makes it magical realism because even though it can possibly be a true story it really may seem fake to others perspective.
i also believe it was a work of magical realism and i think that all of your points make sense!
ReplyDeleteI agree that Life of Pi is a work of magical realism as well. The carnivorous island was a big contributing factor to the magical realism of the book. To Pi, these things are real, which qualifies as magical realism. Not all of the characters in the story believe in these things, which could make Life of Pi not magical realism, but that is only for a small portion of the book. Great post!
