Topic > Conflicts and Conflicts in the Life of Pi, by Yann Marti

The story of Life of Pi is truly a unique and interesting story written by Yann Martell, the author of the book Life of Pi. This is because this story shows and reveals the conflicts between man and nature, society and himself. In life or other real life stories, men have always encountered problems and conflicts that go against their IDs and things that could have helped them achieve their pleasures. This has always occurred in everyone's daily life as there will always be issues and problems regardless of place and time. However, in this story, both Pi and his family members faced challenges and conflicts which were shown in the book Life of Pi. The conflicts are between Pi against the sea, Pi against his inner beast, and Pi and his family against society due to the change in the government of India. Basically, the story of Life of Pi contains conflicts between man and nature, society and himself which can be found in the book itself. Among these conflicts is man versus society. Pi and his family were forced to leave India and live in Canada. This is due to the change of government in India and the seizure of Indian government power by Prime Minister Indira Gandhi. In 1975, Prime Minister Indira Gandhi was found guilty of her 1971 election campaign and ordered to resign. However, Indira Gandhi declared a state of emergency by which she would be granted full powers to govern India by decree. This state of emergency had lasted about 18 months and was officially ended in March 1977 when Gandhi called another round of elections. Furthermore, the historical legacy of this emergency has become increasingly controversial as Gandhi's political opponents... are front and center... regardless of where and when they are. It is a question of how and in ways to overcome the problems faced in their daily life and move forward. For example, Pi never gave up hope of being rescued while stranded at sea in the lifeboat with Richard Parker. Additionally, he used his knowledge of animals and their habits to protect himself from the hyena, the zebra, the orangutan known as Orange Juice, and the adult Bengal tiger, known as Richard Parker. This is because without problems and challenges for us humans to overcome them, we will never be able to have the experience and ways to overcome the challenges and problems as every mistake we make will be a lesson for the future. Furthermore, we will be left behind, unable to move forward in life and end up giving up hope in life. Therefore, do not give up hope and faith.
