He uses this technique when describing Pi's experience on the island, which is initially described as an island paradise with pools of fresh water, an abundance of algae sweets as food and lots of innocent meerkats for Richard Parker. As Pi's stay on the island continues, he becomes suspicious of Paradise and discovers that it is carnivorous. After being at sea for so long, the reader and Pi lose a bit of a sense of reality. They may not believe the story at first, but they believe this riddle is true. No one would believe in the existence of a carnivorous island, but by placing it in the middle of the uncertain ocean, they begin to consider that it may have simply been overlooked. Furthermore, by reasoning about the events that occurred on the island, the reader wants to believe that the events are true because it makes the story more interesting. By inserting some magical elements into realistic fiction, the reader believes they are true because the magic captures him and draws him into the world.
