“Life of Pi Allegorical Analysis”
In this activity, students will analyze Life of Pi as an allegorical work describing the faith journey of Pi.
Some critics describe Pi’s journey as an allegorical explanation of his faith journey. Consider the events in the novel before, during, and after Pi’s journey that contribute to his individual growth. Then consider the elements of the novel that are symbolic of his faith journey. Analyze and explain Pi’s experience as an allegory for spiritual growth.
