section::::narrative structure.









































according to the reviewer peter yan,









































'life of pi' is told from two alternating points of view, the main character pi in a flashback and yann martel himself, who is the "visiting writer" (martel 101) interviewing pi many years after the tiger in the boat story. this technique of the intrusive narrator adds the documentary realism to the book, setting up, like a musical counter-point, the myth-making, unreliable narrator, pi. the reader is left to ponder at the end whether pi's story is an allegory of another set of parallel events.

life of pi
in november 1921, dave f. dozier, pi delta phi '26, of phi chi medical fraternity and j. p. williams of pi mu jointly instituted unofficial negotiations for a merger of pi mu and phi chi. this conference culminated in an agreement of merger signed october 7, 1922, in richmond, virginia, by albert f. saunders for phi chi and j. blair fitts for pi mu. also participating in the arrangements of merger were dave f. dozier, pi delta phi, and william i. owens, theta eta, for phi chi and j. p. williams of pi mu. under the arrangements of merger, the beta and gamma of pi mu members were initiated into theta eta of phi chi and alpha of pi mu was installed as pi mu (chapter) of phi chi, october 14, 1922. the alumni of pi mu became associate members of pi mu of phi chi: they were obligated to become life subscribers to the phi chi quarterly and membership cards of phi chi were issued to those who so subscribed; the associate members were granted the right to wear the badge of phi chi although the pi mu official badge was to remain "official" for all pi mu alumni graduating prior to july 1, 1922. the pi mu badge was a greek cross with skull and bones at the center. the skull was set with emerald eyes and the letters "πμ" displayed on the horizontal arm of the cross.
