"This was the terrible cost of Richard Parker. He believes that the act of storytelling, of giving things shape, can apply in life too, and thus one can shape one's own story in the most beautiful way by believing in God. Similarly, Pi?s injunction that ?we must give things a meaningful shape? connects two of the novel?s prominent themes, storytelling and belief in God. The final question, posed to the author, calls attention both to the fact that this story is being told through an intermediary, and to the arbitrariness of the telling?the book does indeed have a hundred chapters, and it would seem that the reason was a simple challenge from Pi. This passage contains several of the important themes and motifs of the novel. Similarly, Pi's injunction that "we must give things a meaningful shape" connects two of the novel's prominent themes, storytelling and belief in God. The final question, posed to the author, calls attention both to the fact that this story is being told through an intermediary, and to the arbitrariness of the telling-the book does indeed have a hundred chapters, and it would seem that the reason was a simple challenge from Pi. If there is no way to prove that God's existence is true or untrue, and if the assumption of the truth either way in no way makes a factual difference, then why not choose to believe what Pi believes to be "the better story"-that God exists? This passage thus connects these central themes in the book, and so weaves everything together. Here Pi enlarges the themes of truth, and story versus reality to encompass God, and all of life. This quote is essential to the story-Yann Martel himself has described 'the better story' as the novel's key words. And so it goes with God.'" Chapter 99, page 317 The story with animals is the better story.' Pi Patel: 'Thank you.
Okamoto: 'That's an interesting question?' Mr. While you're here, enjoy some pie history and trivia, too."'So tell me, since it makes no factual difference to you and you can't prove the question either way, which story do you prefer? Which is the better story, the story with animals or the story without animals?'
