Life of Pi

The author of this book, Yann Martel, spends an awful lot of time explaining both the human and animal experience of a zoo. Why do you think that Martel goes into such detail explaining how zoos work?

The zoo was an important part of Pi's growing up. The entire book is a study of the behaviors of humans and animals in unnatural and unexpected circumstances. The Zoo presents a microcosm of Pi's world where human behavior is juxtaposed with animal behaviour.
