WE HAVE NOW SEEN THE PSYCHOLOGICAL DETERIORATION OF PI , who is now a mere shadow of his former self. His former self has been burned off by sun and salt. Here we see Pi enter his unconsciousness, and the novel takes on an eerie, surreal quality. We are now in his dream state, closer to his inner self (and death) than ever before. While there he encounters the 23-food long beast from deep, a shark that has come to consume him.

MONDAY

We will debrief our hero-journey story writing from BYKTWD 2016, and will then return to the biography of Carl Jung.
HW: Catch up day. If you aren't on page 256, get there.

TUESDAY

We will finish the documentary, part one of "Carl Jung: The Wisdom of the Dream," part one. We'll revisit chapter 67 and 68, wherein Pi uses his "dream rag" to self-asphyxiate himself and he confronts death in the form of a 23-foot long shark from the void.
HW: Read through the bottom of page 267 by class on Wednesday.
