Homework tonight: Finish off your practice essays. These are to be handed in on Friday.
A sample conclusion for your essay:
Life is not always idyllic; and for the young Pi, paradise is quickly lost. He learns that the world can be a cruel and testing place that challenges his very existence. However, Martel equips his protagonist with the tools to survive these trials. Thus as Pi clings to life aboard the raft with his survival tools; his imagination, his faith and scientific knowledge, he can thank the lessons learnt in childhood for an adequate preparation.
