I love this book!!!

Although I am not quite finished, I can already tell that the Life of Pi is going to be my favorite book thus far. It is hilarious and serious at the same time. I love the theme of tolerance—I love that Pi is a practicing Hindu, Christian and Muslim. He is very different from the rest of his modern family. Even the three bickering religious leaders can do nothing but smile when Pi quotes Gandhi on the truth of all religions and then simply says, “I just want to love God” (69). Tolerance is so important, especially in the world today. In Waco, Texas and in the Baylor Bubble I think we could use a little more tolerance. Why can’t we just all focus on loving God, rather than hating each other? I am grateful for being in the BIC because I think we have learned to be tolerant people even in this sometimes intolerant place. After all, we have attended Jewish, Hindu and Muslim worship services and read literature from each religion. If Pi were a Baylor student, he would definitely be a BICer!
