complete with gory details. We rush to believe it. He is a killer! Listen to the detail of the gore. Everything seems to fit!... Only to discover - it really doesn't. Just another made up story, because someone did not want to believe the impossible,” (“Life of Pi Question”). Pi realizes no matter what the two Japanese interviewers would never deem his animal story to be real. The interviewers desired to be informed of a normal more acceptable story, they cannot glean any knowledge from. The Japanese demand Pi to convey the real story, the “story that won’t surprise you. That will confirm what you already know. That won’t make you see higher or further or differently. You want a flat story. An immobile story. You want a dry, yeastless factuality,” without Thirsty (or Richard Parker) (302). Therefore, Pi crafts the second, human story an attempt to satisfy the realist Japanese interviewers who desire to receive the straight facts from the story. The Japanese people were realists who could not believe in this irrational story out of their reach.
