The contrast of the two stories show two different perspectives that can symbolize perspectives of life. The first story, which is more i believable, shows the will to live and adds the creativity to the storyline. Richard Parker, the animalistic side of Pi, helped Pi survive and the hope that Richard Parker gave him made the story more relatable to real like and made it seem like they both had a real connection. The second story however, shows how the bare minimum creativity and the same story can be cruel and vicious. The cook was ruthless and inhumane. Creativity takes away the scariness and hatefulness of the world and without it, it shows how awful and sad things in the world really are, just like how Richard Parker made Pi seem more human and more innocent, and the story with the humans seemed more impossible and harder to connect
