10.) Real Person

This seventeen year old boy, Suraj Sharma, is from India and is portraying Pi in the movie adapation of Life of Pi. The book description of Pi is barely even there. There's a few sentences, if that, describing his physical features throughout the book, most describing the deterioration of his body over the seven months. A director for this movie doesn't have to turn away an actor that can emotionally portray Pi perfectly due to physical features because Pi wasn't really described in detail. Suraj is exactly the kind of person I pictured for Pi when I read the book. There's not much else to say on the matter.                                                                                                      

9.) Colors

"Green is a lovely colour. It is the colour of Islam. It is my favorite colour." - Pi
After being at sea seeing predominatly only the colors orange and blue, the green of this lush island was a god sent. His three religions were very important to him, Islam being the latest addition to his arsenal was mentioned in this quote. He held his religions very deep to his heart, they helped him survive.

Orange doesn't have much symbolism but many phyisical relations to the story. First of all, the second main character is a tiger. Tiger's are orange. Also the raft, where he spent seven months of his life, was orange along with all the supplies aboard the lifeboat. An important supply that was directly pointed out as orange would be the small collection of whistles. These whistles were the reason Pi was able to successfully tame Richard Parker, the tiger, into subordination. Without them he would've been killed by Richard Parker.

7.) Artwork

Well there's no deep symbolism with the tiger in this piece. Pi's only companion for 7 months, only reason he survived, only reason why he was able to keep on living was due to the tiger, Richard Parker, in his life boat.
The orange paint can relate back to his life on the boat because everything he could see, while on that raft, was either the blue of the ocean or orange. The raft was orange, his life saving whistles were orange, Richard Parker was orange, even the tarp which he slept underneath was orange.

2.) Song Lyrics

Dreamhouse - Tides of Man

This house is made of paper, built on the quickest sand. 
No pictures hang from its walls, 
because I'd rather run than stand. 
But you don't know the truth yet. 
You'll find it all out when I'm gone, I guess. 
I want to tear you away, live in a new skin. 
Because I'm tired of being covered in this film of fiction. 
I haven't believed a single damn word I've said.
I've learned to tear the truth to shreds. 
Let's face the facts 
we've all been avoiding in our tender dream house. 
Fuck it, take it all down.
Watch it sink and smile wide, for we have vanquished unreality. 
We'll be better off when it's buried underground. 
I want to tear you away, live in a new skin. 
Because I'm tired of being covered in this film of fiction.
I haven't believed a single damn word I've said. 
I've learned to tear the truth to shreds. 
Oh, lover...

Life of Pi ends with pi telling the men an alternative story of his life in the ocean, no one is absolutely sure which one is the truth. They said they liked the story with animals more and that is the story of this book. So if he was actually told an incorrect story, with less atrocity, he could relate to this song. "I've learned to tear the truth to shreds. Let's face the facts we've all been avoiding in our tender dream house." He, on that boat in either story, lived through horrible expeirences becoming almost an animal, even becoming cannibalistic. He is the narrator and said at the beginning he wrote this story to enlighten his readers. He's learned to tear the truth of reality, reason, and humanity on that boat and wants people to open their eyes to what everyone is capable of if pushed. "because I'd rather run than stand." In both a symbolic and physical sense this was true to him, when he first found land he would run and run. He missed it so much for he had been only standing/sitting in that boat for many, many months. Symbolically it relates to him for he would want to run away from his memories and past. They haunt him.
The other highlighted words would associate to Pi for spending his whole life in an opposing story to the truth. (if it wasn't true) The tone of this song is really emotional, almost bitter, it even cusses a few times. Although Pi is devout in his religions and has a very calm and collected demeanor, he would have to have bottled up emotions of anger and ourage. His outlit for these bottled emotions toward god, the world, and everything could've been in song. This song could have been sung from his perspective to his readers.
