Theme

v  Life is not only happiness but also with challenges that makes you a stronger person and the faith to God that motivates you to face all the challenges how hard they are as long as you believe in Him.

Symbolism

v   I choose island to be its symbol because there is no such thing as permanent in the world everything is going to gone but there is something that comes after it. Every challenges is accompanied with solution, we just need to think of it and not letting yourself to be eaten by your problems. As long as we have faith in God we can overcome all of those because God has its own purpose for us. The path that we are taking is just the beginning of all things God is just preparing us for something big in our future as a successful individual in our own profession. In that island all that pi needs are there but he realized that his life could be taken away by that island. The island represents the things that might change us and pi as the human being, He choose to continue his journey rather than to stay there because if you stay to a situation you might not know you’ve already change that cause a person to be greed or traitor to your neighbours.
