Darkness

Pi started to notice that Richard Parker had been scratching his eyes, and then Richard Parker's eyes started to drain. Soon Pi's eyes started to itch; they just constantly itched. After, a while Pi started to see a small black spot. It started small but eventually took over his eyes until he could not see at all. Richard Parker and Pi are blind!

Of course I'm not blind so I do not know how it feels to be blind. Though, I know how I feel when it is pitch dark in my room, after the lights are turned off. It scares me half to death not knowing what could be in my room. When Pi went blind he was depressed; he thought he could no longer take care of Richard Parker. He could not see to catch fish, and his food supply was gone. His water supply is gone, and since he can't see he can't work the fresh water things.

Pi's starts hearing a voice, but he thinks his mind is playing tricks on him. So, Pi begins to talk to this voice as if it was his mind. As he starts talking Pi begins to think Richard Parker is talking to him; however, as the conversation moves along, Pi realizes the voice is another person who is blind also. The conversation keeps going for a long time about different stuff, and finally the other person wants to come onto Pi's boat. Before Pi could tell him there was a bengal tiger on the boat with him, the man climbs aboard. Sadly, Richard Parker attacks the man and kills him.

There is a good thing out of this though,at some point during all this Pi began to cry. The tears cleaned his eyes, and Pi was able to see again,but Pi was upset that he did not get to see the man's face. Even though he was able to see Richard Parker had attacked him so much, you could not make out his face. Another good thing was that the man had food on his boat.
