Burroughs extends his training every day. After meeting with his elliptical trainer, he would do crunches the way his chiropractor instructed him to. He would starve himself believing that the laws of physics would naturally give him the abs he wanted while doing the exercises every day. Burroughs starts writing this essay month’s before he would develop abdominal muscles. I think he did this to keep reminding himself he has a goal to achieve.

3D Scandal Today’s top story revolves around a Mr. Square, who preached about the nonexistent third dimension claiming he had been there. Mr. Square was well respected among his fellow squares, and had a very steady job as a Mathematician, but not all things are as they appear. We have a few anonymous witnesses that say they heard him rambling about a dream that he had and how he had been to the third dimension. We at the Flatland Tribune were able to obtain an interview with Mr. Square who was happy to tell us the whole truth. He starts out by telling us that he himself wasn’t a believer of the third dimension until he was visited by a person named Sphere on the day of the new millennium.
Pi, tired of being made fun of for his name, narrates how he wrote his new nickname on the board; “for good measure I added Π = 3.14 and I drew a large circle, which I then sliced in two with a diameter, to evoke that basic lesson of geometry.” There is a great repetition of numbers after the point, which is symbolic of the daily repetitive routine which Pi inherited after the climax, being the ‘point.’ This ties in with the theme of existence, in that, as humans, we live our lives to a mundane, similar routine almost every day; Pi forgets about the essence of time during his struggle to survive, and eventually survival becomes so routine, that it simply just becomes part of his daily existence. The many numbers also represent the theme of Belief; there is a Suspension of Disbelief on how true Pi’s story is, and the author has created layers of storytelling to mask the true reality of Pi’s story so that people can still be able to read about it, but at the same time understand it. The ‘Pi’ symbol also can be an approximate fraction of 22/7, which symbolizes the 227 days which Pi survived in the Pacific Ocean. Furthermore, the ‘Pi’ symbol is used to measure the circumference of a circle, which represents that although Pi

Every generation has flaws and ours maybe the lack of motivation due to technology but with this flaw it allows us to excel becoming more intelligent and opening our minds to realms not even thought of.
