Hey,
Here is my document about Aspirin. I have attached it because of formatting problems when I copy-and-pasted it into the document.

Life of Pi: First Reflection
Anaghster here,
Whoa, its been a while. I was gone for a month to India, and I was juggling a lot of work.
Anyways, enough excuses, let's get on with this review!
Life of Pi is about a zoo owner's boy who leaves his home in southern India to a new life in Canada. The cargo ship that he was travelling on has engine problems and the ship sinks. Pi is the only survivor, other than a chimpanzee, a hyena, and an adult male Bengal tiger. The novel is about his inspirational adventure through the Pacific Ocean.
I believe that the writer, Yann Martel, did an outstanding job with this book. I was glued to the book for over three hours, savouring every page of the well-made novel. The story is amazingly well written, and was definitely better than I had expected. This story is awesome in the way it balances the psychological and physical aspect of what is happening inside Pi's lifeboat, and the description used was brilliant.
I believe that the story told an important message of never giving up, no matter how hopeless the problem may seem or how bleak the situation may seem. I believe that the writer did an outstanding job in underlining the theme, because the theme was subtle yet bold. When Pi was in the lifeboat for the first night, with the animals with him, the situation seemed hopeless. However, Pi never gave up hope. I thought about it a lot after I finished the book, so much that I read the last 50 pages again. The moral of the story became clearest on the last pages of the book, and I believe that if any other grade nines read this book, they would agree as well. In my opinion, everybody deserves an opportunity to read this book. Grade nines should read this book, because sometimes many grade nines are under pressure, but they give up easily. I am certain that after they read the book that will change.
All in all, the book is amazing, and I would DEFINITELY recommend reading the book before seeing the movie!
