Draft.

Life of pi is considered a work of magical realism since its only one person point of view.  In the novel pi was only one who went to the tragedy. This shows up I was the only one that survived when the ship sank.
Throughout the novel, Pi did not tell his story in linear order. He had a couple flashbacks of his childhood when he was with his family and religion. This shows that was all these flashbacks got the reader confused with the past and the present.
  Magical realism is serious but with fantasy things in it. For example, the seriousness can be everything Pi went through and the fantasy can be being on the boat with a wild animal amd going to a cannibal island.

Magical realism?

There was parts in the novel that were magical realism. For example, when Orange juice floated on bananas or when the fish literally flue and the island with cannibal trees.  All these things made the story magical realism.  The story was told from told from one side which was Pi's side of the story. Since he was the only one who experienced this "tragedy," we don't really have another side and don't know if the story is true. When Pi told his story he didn't go in linear order.  He had a couple of flash backs of his religion amd when he was a kid. This novel could be both serious and fantasy. The seriousness couls be everything Pi went through with hik losing his parents and brother. The fantasy of it could be being on the boat with an wild animal and going to a cannibal island.

Martels message

Martel gets his message across by representing Pi as Richard Parker. Pi had to taim himself in order to understand everything tjat was happening to him.

Magical realism?

The story could of been magical realism to some extent.  Maybe the author wanted to make the story a true story but also wanted it to be a fanticy in a way by representing Pi as Richard Parker. But we all know there is no such thing as a carnival island. This os what I mean by "to a certain extent."

Writers

Most people write to express their feelings. Maybe they don't want to say something out loud so they write it. Some people write because they enjoy it. I haven't meet one single writer who writes just because they have too. They become better writer's from their own mistakes. I like Ellan Hopkins because her writing is inspiring.  It tells me that I shouldn't do what Christina did.  Me as a writer?  I really don't see it because sometimes I can't let out all my thoughts. I get stuck. When I was tought to write they would tell me "get to the point," I got so use to it tjat now I can't write enough.  I would say I'm a blocked writer because I don't let my thoughts out. I would lile to become a better writer so I can express myself better. I like to do expository writings because its easier to come up with ideas to write about. I'm scared of narrative because I can never write a good story. I learned that if I jist write everything I'm thinking I might become a better writer
