For your new post, finish the LOP reading and "The Crossing" in RA. Then answer the following questions:
1) At this point in LOP, what would you do if you were in Pi's shoes?
2) Think about the choice that Martinez makes in "The Crossing." Would you have done the same thing? If not, what would you have done?
CLASS CANCELLATION:
I'm still sick and don't want to infect any of you, so I'm cancelling class tomorrow, MONDAY, 10/26. Please keep up with the readings on your calendar and check back here in the next day or two to see what changes I'll make to our schedule.

1) I don't think i could have been as patient as pi and would have attacked or ricked tiring to get rid of the animals. i just don't think i could just wait and act at the right moment.
ReplyDelete2) I really dont know what i would have done. but i dont think i would have gone back to the store. i would probably have just turned him into the Ark of the Covenant and see what happens.
1)If it came down to it, I would try to get rid of the tiger. Everyday that passes would be another day closer to getting eaten. I would try plan 2, kill him with the six morphine syringes.
ReplyDelete2)I would have done the same thing as Martinez. The immigrant, Victor, was sick and needed medical attention.
If I was in Pi's place I would continue to wait for rescue, trying my best to be hopeful. I'm not sure what I would do about the tiger on board. I guess I would try to stay as far away from it as possible. Trying to befriend the tiger or become the alpha seems like a good idea, but I don't know if I would be brave enough.
ReplyDeleteIf I was in the same situation as Martinez, my main concern would be Victor's health. I would try to make sure he got the proper medical care.
1) well i don't think its possible to put myself in Pi shoes. But if i had to guess, i would stay on the boat because in real life life vests can only float for a maximum of 3 days and his skin would be getting butchered by the sun and salt water so i would do everything to stay covered and dry. And my first plan of action would be to try and scare Parker with the flares so he is afraid and that would buy me sometime till i can think of something else...
ReplyDelete2) First off i would have given victor some food and water and then told him to go back to his country before he is found and that he should try getting into the country the legal way. IT'S NOT THAT HARD!!!! Thousands do it every year. I will not participate in committing a crime against my fellow country men.
1) If I were in Pi's shoes I would definitely not try to swim away or build a raft, especially in the time he did it in, the raft would not be sturdy or stay afloat for long. I would try to stay on the boat as long as possible and maybe try to use some of the supplies as weapons against Richard, like the knife and needles of morphine, maybe even rope.
ReplyDelete2) If Victor was in serious danger, not lasting the drive, I would get him to the closest medical help as possible, but if he wasn't that bad then I would do the right thing and get the authorities/border patrol.
1)If I was in Pi's shoes at this point I would of been scared because of Richard Parker! Actually, first of all i would not have mad it this far. Second of all, I would stay on the boat because I do not know how to swim. I just think he should of stayed on the boat and waited for someone to rescue him.
ReplyDelete2) If I Was In That Situation I Actually Would Have Done The Same Even If It Puts Me In Danger. Just Knowing That i Helped Someone Makes Me Happy and It Makes Me Feel Better.
1) If I were in Pi's shoes I wouldnt try to swim away or build a raft. I would try to stay on the boat as long as possible. I don't really know what I would do about the tiger. To be honest I would probably assume its ferocious and wants to kill me so I would probably wait for it to try to attack me and somehow get it to fall in the ocean. I would feel really bad but I don't want to get eaten by a tiger.
ReplyDelete2)If I was in his situation I would have definately helped Victor. He was sick and needed medical attention and I would help him recieve it.
If I were in Pi's shoes i would be so hungry that i'll try to eat the tiger and probably get eaten myself.
ReplyDeleteIf i was in that situation i would probably help Victor becuase the author explained and said "the truth will suffice.. I will go free."
1.) If I were in Pi's shoes I would stay on the boat. The raft isn't too promising and there's no other way out. I would somehow want to trick Richard Parker and get him to fall into the ocean but that seems difficult right now.
ReplyDelete2.)If I were in that situation I don't know what I would do. I don't think I could do something illegal like that but I wouldn't ever know until that actually happened.
1/ If i were Pi, i would try to figure out some way to get off the boat. The chances of me surviving aren't the greatest so i would try to fight it to make it better by getting rid of the tiger or just getting off the boat itself.
ReplyDelete2/ I honestly didn't like how he decided to tell the lady to call border patrol. That killed me inside because i know that if that was my father, i wouldn't be alive right now. Personally i would have atleast dropped him off at the city. Then i wouldn't be to concerned over the safety of the migrant
1) if I were Pi I probably would have gotten myself eaten long ago by trying to kill the tiger with the knife.
ReplyDelete2)it was a tough choice but i think he did the right thing. Sucks for the guy, but the laws screwing Americans over for helping people in that situation are pretty vicious.
1. If i was in Pi position i would probably try to feed the tiger and give it water hoping it would appreciate me.
ReplyDelete2. I dont think i would have done what Martinez did and went out looking for immigrants. And if i were to find any i would definitly not pick them up, not in fear of police but of lack of knowledge of where to find help for them.
