Life of Pi

Welcome to CSB in the School of BIS - we will be using this blog as a way for us to communicate as we journey into the adventure of Pi Patel.

By Sunday, May 3rd I would like each of you to be finished through Chapter 45. I will be posting requirements on this blog site often, so please check it daily.

This evening, Monday April 27, I will post up some work.

Your first assignment will be to do the following:

Read the author's note and look at the cover of your book. Describe in a comment on this blog what you feel this book will be about.

Deep Thoughts with Jack Handey

"The wise man can pick up a grain of sand and envision a whole universe. But the stupid man will just lie down on some seaweed and roll around until he's completely draped in it. Then he'll stand up and go, 'Hey, I'm Vine Man.'" Jack Handey

Life. Can be some pretty serious stuff - usually. Remember to work hard, be smart, make good decisions, laugh, take risks (not Vine Man type risks), enjoy your friends, enjoy yourself and make a difference.

If you could, write a bit on the blog about your past year in the CSB and the School of BIS. Non-graded stuff, just for us to live and learn from.

Thanks \Tbone and Rogie

C 18 - Shrouded Figure

"Let nothing perturb you, nothing frighten you. All things pass. God does not change. Patience achieves everything." Mother Teresa

This chapter we've read for today is teaching a lesson. The events that occur, Mortenson's activities and interactions between individuals, and the movement of the Shrouded Figure from beginning to end are the author's way of making a point. What is the lesson? What is the author trying to teach? After you've decided on the lesson of this chapter, support your conclusion. How do the events in the text come together to teach the lesson? (It may be of benefit to think about the chapter title, the quote used, the individuals we are introduced to in this chapter, the advice given)
