(Optional) Open Forum on Life of Pi

What ideas and/or questions do you have about the novel?  These can be things prompted by the group presentations or just your own completely unique meanderings.

Note:  if you pose a question, you must also provide at least the beginning of a possible answer. Get the ball rolling!

Note #2: This open forum is optional...not part of your homework assignment. But it could be fun to see what questions (and answers) we all have!
