Alexandre Dumas' The Three Musketeers can be quite complex and it is worth discussing to be sure we understand all of the events and how they interact with each other. View the movie trailer above and post your thoughts about it. Then go on to the next post.
Read the information below and respond in a comment to ONE of the questions. Be sure to restate the question. Chapter 5 Pi was unhappy as a child with his name (Piscine), as it was often mispronounced as “pissing” when it is meant to be pronounced as “pea-seen” . For that reason as he grows up and enters the next level of school, he makes a show of jumping up during roll call and announcing to the class that his name is “Pi” even illustrating it with the mathematical symbol on the chalkboard. 1. Why is it, as Pi suggests, “a law of human nature that those who live by the sea are suspicious of swimmers”? (p 22) 2. Pi explains “in that elusive, irrational number with which scientists try to understand the universe, I found refuge.” (p 24) How does this explain Pi’s character and nature?
