Richard Parker

Author's Note: This is a piece in which Richard Parker is the point of view. Richard Parker is the tiger in Life of Pi, who is stranded on the boat with Pi. There will also be a discussion to go along with this creative piece analyzing Pi's point of view in the book.

Sitting on the boat, I see the boy throw the fish over the edge of the boat near my body. While gnawing on a piece of hyena, I grab the fish, and start to down that as well.  The boy then jumps back onto the boat, looking at me suspiciously. I start to stare into his eyes, watching him backing down. I get the feeling that he is scared of me, but I am just as scared of him than he is of me. I go back to devouring the juicy fish he has layed in front of me, and enjoy every last bit. The boy starts heading back towards me, and he pulls out something from his pocket. It looks small, with a string hanging down, but then he brings the object towards his mouth and blows. The screeching noise hurts my ears and I start to feel a little woozy. I start to stumble back a little bit as I topple down on to my stomach. I drift to sleep for the night, and I see a glowing, green island straight ahead.
