Chapter 10
April 5, 2007 
Hi Friends
This week I read chapter 10 ,As Pi was describing about the characters and behaviours of different animals in the previous chapters ,here he wants to emphasize on the fact that animals will escape only when they feel that their enclosures are unsuitable for them to live there .Every animal has particular habitat needs that must be met .For example ,If it is sunny or too wet or too empty ,If its perch is too high or too exposed ,If the ground is too sandy ,If there are too few branches to make etc then the animal will not be at peace .There fore enclosures must be right i.e within the limits of the animal’s capacity to adapt.
Even the animals that are captured when they are fully mature are another example of escape-prone animals .Pi is telling that all living animals contain a measure of madness that moves them in strange ,sometimes inexplicable ways ,without it ,no species would survive .
Animals don’t escape to somwhere but from something . Someting within there territory has frightened them -like intrusion of an enemy ,assault of a dominant animal ,a startling noise etc.Animal always escape where there ia sence of security and they are dangerous only to those who happen to get between them and their reckoned safe spot
That’s it for this week
The behavour of animals and their needs explained by the author give good information about them.
How strange they are, it seemed like they needed a comfortable and good place to live, however; they haggled over every ounce. What subject the author want to tell us? I confuse a little.
They need another place to live.
Animals don’t escape to somwhere but from something. What this mean?
This book is good to read for the acdemic, isn’t it? It talked about lots of acdemic things. As Pi has mentioned, all living animals contain a measure of madness that moves them in strange ,sometimes inexplicable ways ,without it ,no species would survive . I think all humam beings should think about this question-animals’ living.
Nice summary. It is a wonder to think that animals have a mind of their own and think just like that. But animals have always been a mystery to humans as we can never understand how they live. They move about with their own dignity that always mistifies us.
