Summary: Pi has began to regain his strength and energy by eating fish, turtles, and drinking water.He uses gaffes to catch fish and feeds them to himself, and throws some to Richard Parker. Pi is lost at sea for 227 days, more than seven moths. Pi was always keeping himself busy. He occupied his time by fishing, cleaning praying, and writing. He mas a schedule that he foll lowed daily. Pis clothing disintegrated they were worn out and dirty. Pi claimed that Turtles were an easy catch, but hard to load onto the boat. Their blood was clean and rich tasting. 130 pound turtles were hard to lift and butcher. Pi almost never slept, it was hard for him. On the other hand Richard Parker slept throughout the day and only got up to eat. One day when Pi caught a shark Richard Parker battled with it, and ended up eating it after he killed it.
Reflection: Pi only mentions his family briefly. He does not express his feelings or emotions towards the whole situation. He just tries to make the best of it and tries to survive.
