The first impressions this passage give us is the beginning of a kinship between Pi and Richard parker.This is explainable because their destinies are linked.Since the sinking Pi had always called richard parker with he , like a stranger and han't car about him but only about him self.Until the beginning of this passage he treated him like an ennemy.

Pi and Richard Parker's destinies are linked but if they decide to become friend and close ranks it was because together “survival [is] at hand”(line 52).

In addition to be a symbol richard parker also gives him an occupation-all the routines he had made for protecting himself from
