Chapter 4

                     This week I read chapter 4  in which Pi and his father is the main character. Here PI explains that he grew up thinking the zoo was paradise. He discusses the ritualistic habits of zoo creatures. Pi remembers the alarm-clock precision of the roaring lions and the howler monkeys, the songs that are birds’ daily rites, the hours of day at which various animals could be counted on to entertain him. He defends zoos against those who would rather the animals were kept in the wild

    What are the basis of Pi’s arguments against those who would prefer to see animals free and in the wild? Do you agree with either side of the argument?
