Update and Part 2:
From the last post, I wrote about the recap of part 1. Right now I am almost 1/2 way through the book and towards the beginning of part 2. Part 2 starts off foreshadowing. Pi described the sinking of his cargo ship and how Richard Parker, the tiger, got on the lifeboat. The following quote was about the sinking of his ship:
"The ship sank. It made a sound like a monstrous metallic burp. Things bubbled at the surface and then vanished" (Martel 97).
The following quote was about how Richard Parker looked like as he was swimming to the lifeboat:
"He had seen me. He looked panic-stricken. He started swimming my way. The water about him was shifting wildly" (Martel 97).
Later on, in Part 2, It went back to Pi sleeping on the ship and waking up at a startling noise. He swiftly began tiptoeing to the door, opens it and walks up the stairs leading to the deck. The weather was horrible. The water ran across the deck of the boat. Pi began slipping and sliding. He quickly went back down to the lower deck where his family was and...to his surprise...it was flooded till his neck. His family was gone.
That's where I will leave off. Stay tuned till the next post to see what happens to Pi and his fellow "friends".

You did a good job explaining what is happening in your book right now. It sounds very interesting. I liked the quotes you used in your post. They really help picture what is happening. The quotes are very good examples of imagery. Nice job!
