Creative Writing. Plan and write a scene from ‘Life Of Pi’ as Richard Parker

I’ve somehow ended up in a lifeboat, under the covered part of the lifeboat, I have actually been on this lifeboat for sometime shortly after the shipwrecking of the Japanese designed and made ship.It was a total catastrophe. I lost everything in that shipwreck, all my friends and family that were on the boat.Wait…I can hear something, it sounds like other animals.YES! My friends have survived, but, I don’t think that they’ll survive with me to be able to tell this magnificent story to their kids and grandkids, smells like hyena.To be honest with myself I don’t like hyenas, I despise them. I have to live on, I have to eat what I have. Like that the hyena is no more.

Pi has been on the same boat as me for sometime, we’re both scared of each other.He might kill me so that he can finish this quest, on the other hand, me, I might kill him so I can eat him and survive. This is a test which I believe is to see whether the Animal Kingdom will expect me or not. Whether my faith is just words or actual faith or whether I do believe in God or not.

    Hello Moniem,

    could you re-format this post so that the font does not appear to be so compressed.

    Thanks,

    Mr North

    Hello Moniem,

    I like that you have tried to explore the perspectives of both characters and I think the idea that both Pi and Richard Parker are equally scared of each other is a good one. In this respect, I think your second paragraph is that little bit more effective.

    Target:
    How might your opening be more effective? Focus on emotions and how these might be shown to your audience. If Richard Parker believes that his ordeal has been a ‘catastrophe’, how might you describe this event?

    See me if you would like a hand with the.

    Thanks,

    Mr North
