The start of chapter 33 definitely didnt have a boring introduction. Starting with quite a twist, the book never slowed down. In fact the plot moved so fast, I honestly cant say that I understand the symbolism of the characters. At first I thought I understood the tiger, in accordance with Ravi's tiger and lamb analogy.. but then when the Hyena's and Zebra were introduced my mind was blown. That is unless the story is simply just about a boy stranded with a tiger on a boat. So here is a cry for help about the underlying meaning of the book?!
But aside from the argument, I love this author. Although his material isn't always humorous he seems to find the humor in alot of situations. And although this maybe wasnt meant as humor I couldnt help but laugh at Pi crying and cursing "Jesus, Muhammed!" Overall, once i understand it more fully I would love to see where the book goes.
