Respond to Reading: LIFE OF PI

I have read past chapter 90 so i wont mess it up for anybody:) between chapters 80-90, i found out that Pi feels like he is going to die soon now that he has very little resources left to live off of. it seems like Richard Parker is the only thing left to keep Pi from going insane. he was the one who actually gave him the will to live in the first place. but now that he is really low in food and water, i think his will to live has really sank and i think he should give up so easily. he should just keep hoping that something good will come to him eventually.
