the explanations
As "webmasters" we used the themes of the books as the main themes of our design. We chose to use the colour orange because it was very significant throughout the novel. We see the colour used in the novel first when the narrator heads to the future and talks to Pi and his daughter Usha. Usha is carrying around a small orange cat. This gives the reader a sense of hope, and lets them know that the story is not a complete tragedy. Orange after that is then used more frequently in the novel, such as with Richard Parker, the lifebuoy, whistle, and Orange Juice. The colour was seen to represent survival and hope.
We also used many pictures to help further the explanations of the blog entries. By posting the pictures along side the blog, we feel that it helps the reader understand the situation futher.
We used the Greek symbol "Pi" as the display picture because first of all it was his nickname, and second it shows how complicated and hard to comprehend his character is, just like the infinite number. It also shows the many layers his character has.
We hope you enjoy our blog,
Julianna and Sasha
