Chapter 395: Existence beyond human and animal nature
Harvard University is just one example of how many people study teenage Pi.
In fact, because of the young Pi, almost countless people, all kinds of industries, men, women, and young people, have been constantly adding the real interpretation of the young Pi.
In this regard, what people are most interested in is the various metaphors hidden in the novel "Young Pi".
No matter it is any plot, no matter it is a scene, or any sentence, it may be a metaphor.
Every time one of the metaphors is found, it makes these readers very excited.
It has to be said that the power of the masses is infinite.
Even though these readers do not have the analytical and interpreting ability of some experts and professors, as they continue to dig and analyze through communication and analysis with others, a series of metaphors and truths are dug out bit by bit.
[Haha, I know, I know, the mongoose on the Man-Eater Island actually refers to the human flesh that is supplied. As for why there are thousands of mongoose on the Man-Eater Island, the answer is the maggots growing on the meat. Well, although I also know that this is disgusting.]
[Damn, you are too dark, you can even think of this. If this is the case, then the plants the protagonist eats on the cannibal island are not the blood vessels in the human body, ahhh, my eyes, my eyes.]
[Oh my God, then the protagonist, the boy Pi, sent the red rope to the branch of the cannibal island, was it actually sent to his girlfriend's bone?]
[God, don't tell me why a tooth is left on the cannibal island, because the protagonist has eaten up all the meat, leaving only bones like teeth that cannot be eaten.]
And for those readers who are unable to analyze the truth for the time being, they are also very excited.
Because even if you read the interpretations analyzed by some other readers, you are extremely interested.
However, the continuous interpretation of countless readers also slightly brought some phenomena that made Huang Yifan laugh and cry.
Because there are almost hundreds of metaphors buried in the novel "Young Pi", basically all readers have already believed that the novel "Young Pi" actually has metaphors, all the plots, sentences, and characters. So, they began to constantly look for metaphors in the series of Pi. In the analysis of these people, a series of metaphors that have no metaphors at all were also exposed.
For example, regarding considering a metaphor called "thirst".
Why would Pi say "Where is your son going?"
A metaphor about why the protagonist does not mention his girlfriend word for word.
A metaphor of the mountain where a tiger enters the forest.
The protagonist believes in the metaphor of three religions.
Some metaphors here are real, and some are forced by readers.
However, Huang Yifan did not explain these things.
Every reader will have his own answer when reading a story. In fact, the story of the Young Pi perfectly expresses this sentence.
You can choose a tiger or a tiger without it.
But no matter how you choose, they are an independent and very interesting story.

"Annie, can you do me a favor?"
David found Anne and said with a bitter face.
"What, David, what manuscript should I write?"
"no."
David shook his head, "I fell in love with a novel and wanted to adapt it into a script, but the author did not agree."
"David, even if you take action, the other party doesn't agree. Can I help you?"
"Can help."
David continued, "Because you are familiar with this person."
"who."
"Huang Yifan."
"I see."
When Annie heard David say Huang Yifan's name, she smiled and said, "You are talking about the young Pi."
"Yes."
"This is indeed a complimentary story, very good. If it is adapted into a movie, I believe it will shock the world."
"Yes, I think so too. But I don't know why, Huang Yifan just didn't want to give me this script. At that time, he told me that if I could guess the metaphor of the young Pi, he would agree to adapt the script to us."
"It seems you didn't guess."
"Uh, I can guess it."
David looked embarrassed, "Although I thought I had guessed it before, as everyone continued to interpret and the plot became more and more complicated, I realized that what I had revealed was just the tip of the iceberg. However, now basically, the metaphor of most of us has been untied, but Huang Yifan is still unwilling to give me the adaptation rights of the script."
"David, it's useless to find me. I'm just his lecturer. And you know that with Huang Yifan's talent, to be honest, I feel a lot of pressure as his lecturer."
"Okay, I'm just anxious, there's nothing I can do."
"I think, rather than asking me for help, David, you might as well continue to study the teenage Pi."
"I'm going crazy when I study it again."
As soon as I heard about it, David was getting bigger. "You don't know that I had been studying it for more than ten days before, and I only had a little research. If I asked me to study it, I would have to go to a madhouse. What's more, it seems that the truth about the teenage Pi has been fully discovered."
"hehe……"
Seeing David's crazy expression, Anne smiled happily.
"Anne, do you have any other opinions?"
David asked when he saw Anne's relaxed look.
However, Annie did not answer positively. Instead, she slowly adjusted a cup of coffee, "David, why do you think Huang Yifan wrote this novel "Young Pi."
"Why do you need to write a teenager?"
David didn't understand what Anne meant.
"Or what does Huang Yifan want to express when writing the novel "Young Pi"?"
"This..."
This question stumped David.
At the beginning, David believed that the Young Pi was a novel about survival in the desert island.
But after the truth was slowly revealed, David felt that this was a novel that explored human nature.
Until when the protagonist even ate his family and his girlfriend together in order to survive, David didn't know what the meaning of this novel was?
Is it a hidden reality?
Because, this has indeed happened in reality.
In 1884, the Mignote sank and four crew members were trapped in the South Atlantic Ocean. In addition to the three crew members, there was also a 17-year-old male servant named Richard. While drifting on the vast sea, three adult crew members killed the orphan Richard and finally shared his meat, so they survived.
"Okay, I don't know either. Anne, what do you think?"
There was some embarrassment, David replied.
"I think..."
Anne seemed to be thinking, "I don't know if my guess is right or wrong."
After slowly finishing the whole cup of coffee in one sip, Anne said, "David, I think the human nature and animal nature you interpreted before are very good. I just want to know if there is any existence in this world that transcends human nature and animal nature?"
"You mean?"
Just a few words, David suddenly trembled.
He pressed his hands on the table, and the table also shook from time to time because of David's trembling hands.
Then David looked at Anne and said hoarsely, "Are you talking about divinity?"
"Yes."
