The novel, Life of Pi suggests that despite offering contradictory approaches to life, reason and faith can co-exist. Critically discuss the extent to which you agree with the above statement

The assertion is quite true.

Because to have Faith simply means to believe in the existence of entities, and minds and beings that we cannot see but whose activities have left a lot of evidence to suggest that suggests the actually exist.

For example, there is no religion that does not have a god. In Christianity, we have God, the Almighty, also known as the Uncreated Creator.

In Islam, there is Allah, in Hindu, it's Buddha.

At least one of these religions offer as a way to explain the existence of the Universe and the existence of a God who created all things.

So when we try to justify a position, regardless of whether it is spiritual or not, "reasoning" is already involved.

Besides, it doesn't make much sense to "blindly" practice religion that is based on faith alone from a God who created the entire universe (man inclusive) as well as the ability to reason.

Therefore, reason and faith do not only co-exist, but have to co-exist.

Cheers!

analyzing characters

respond to the following questions in one paragraph for each. use specific examples from the text to support your responses.

1. there is a set of twins on the island named sam and eric. however, when describing them, golding regularly refers to them as samneric. how does this way of describing the twins relate to their behavior and the way that readers understand their characters? what examples of their behavior readers see that samneric is really the appropriate way to refer to them?

2. as the boys set out to search for the beast, ralph allows jack to lead the way, and he sinks to the back of the pack, " to have escaped responsibility for a time." what does this moment lead you to infer about ralph and about his feelings about being the group’s leader? what does this moment foreshadow?

3. while part of the party searching for the beast, simon realizes that the notion of the beast that the other boys have does not make sense. a beast sitting atop a mountain with claws, a beast who did not leave tracks, could have easily caught the twins. simon has a different picture of the beast: "there rose before his inward sight the picture of a human at once heroic and sick." how does this picture relate to the beast that samneric saw? how does it relate to what simon said earlier about the beast being "only us"?
