Summary
Analysis
Pi survives on very little sleep, and usually only gets about an hour at a time. Richard Parker, on the other hand, sleeps all the time in various favorite positions.
With these short chapters Martel recreates the blurring of time that Pi experiences, a monotony of suffering only occasionally interrupted.
