Dear Grade Twelve Students, To use a metaphor first created by Hemingway, a fine piece of literature is much like an iceberg. The story line is the visible one ninth of the novel; the underlying themes and ideas, thought provoking concepts, and Martel's craft with language constitute the remainder of the novel. First, read and enjoy Life of Pi as an adventure/ survival story. I am confident you will quickly become enamored with the narrative voice, Richard Parker and their shared adventure.
