Setting of the Book.

The setting of the novel: "Life of Pi" by Yan Martel is mainly in the middle of the Pacific Ocean on a lifeboat. This is unique to the novel because it adds to the overall mood of the novel. This enhanced the story because it was one single spot and you didn't have to try and remember where the characters where at each point of the book. This also was good because you were able to get a good mental image of the story because it was so general and wasn't complicated like in a little city in some country that you know nothing about. Some things that may have been taking away due to this setting is that some readers may get quickly bored and uninterested because the story is in the same place the whole time and there is no major changes in setting. Overall I thought having the setting in the Ocean was a very good and interesting idea and I enjoyed it.
