Life of Pi - Chapters 32

          In this chapter Pi explains zoomorphism. Although it is only based on animals, this kind of act is relevant to the world. Along with animals, every human has done what many animals do in the form of zoomorphism. For example, a motherless cub will accept a surrogate mother rather than face the reality of being motherless “the absolute worst condition imaginable for any young animal.” This is the same for a human. Any human who has no mother is in need of one, and if a loving woman comes along in their life that is willing to be their mother like figure and take care of them, a human would never turn that down. Animals will help humans (someone of another kind), just like humans will help animals (creatures of another kind). The chapter is relevant to every living creature in the world. The description and scenarios that Pi described ranging from the mouse being accepted by the vipers to the goats being accepted by the rhinoceros can relate to how the society with in High School becomes structured.  Students in a way act the same as the animals do by accepting those that are different as one there own. Every year a new group of grade nines come to the school. They’re all are from a variety different schools from around the area and have developed groups in those schools. But once they are all put into one society, the groups start to change as other groups start to expand and accept new people into their ring of friends. By doing this, it allows for new groups to form and develop a structure.
