in the book LIFE OF PI what are the most important passages in chapter 1-8? Explain why?

Answer 1

Chapter 13:1 In chapter 12, Paul gave evidence of the Corinthians' lack of Love; Chapter 13 defines real love ("Charity"); and Chapter 14 shows how love works. Love is more important than all the Spiritual Gifts exercised in the Church Body. Great Faith, acts of dedication or sacrifice, and miracle-working power produce very little without love. Love makes our actions and gifts useful. Although people have different gifts, love is available to everyone. 13:4-7 Our society confuses love and lust. Unlike lust, God's kind of love is directed outward toward others, not inward toward ourselves. It is utterly unselfish. This kind of love goes against our natural inclinations. It is possible only if God helps us set aside our own desires and instincts so that we can give love while expecting nothing in return. Thus, the closer we come to Christ, the more love we will show to others. 13:4 Paul says that love " suffereth long." Sometimes we're irritated or angered by others, and we don't know why. Not all iritability stems from sinful or selfish motives, although the irritable treatment of others surely is wrong. Much irritability comes from love of perfection, a deep desire that programs, meetings, and structures be run perfectly. A desire to run things perfectly can erupt into anger at events or people who get in the way or ruin that desire. Those who are easily irritated need to remember that perfection exists only in God. We need to love him and our fellow Christians, not the visions we have for perfection here on earth. Hope this Helped God bless \o/

Answer 2

I don't know if this is in chapter 1-8, but I think it's important. It's when he's talking to "Richard Parker," the tiger, and questioning the purpose/weight of reason.
"'And I am allowed no explanation? I am to suffer hell without any account from heaven? In that case, what is the purpose of reason, Richard Parker? Is it no more than to shine at practicalities - the getting of food, clothing and shelter? Why can't reason give greater answers? Why can we throw a question further than we can pull in an answer? Why such a vast net if there's so little fish to catch?'"

Answer 3

You need to be more specifice about importance as pertaing to what in these chapters. I am guessing that you will be looking for something relating to identifying if it is animals or people that are in the boat with him. And identifying key words or phrases that will point to one or the other. Animals and people and how we distinguish between the two is a key element of this novel.
