Hey! Welcome to the forums!  :)
I don't know specifically what texts go well with life of pi (i haven't watched it since it first came out)
But if you're looking to use a poem then you might consider This one that i used, that i've annotated for you!  :)
Or if you're looking for a short story, try looking at tim wintons work, he has some really good short stories that can be used for AOS.
Also, just generally do google searches like discovery AOS related texts-short stories and poems or something
and check out this thread for a list of related text suggestions
Hope this helps
Good luck!  :)

Hi! This is my first post haha. Ok so I'm doing the same prescribed text as you! I agree with the post above in that Tim Winton is a great writer to go with! He has an amazing short story 'time and tide' that would go well with Life of Pi. It was one of my top choices when I was choosing my related text. Also, for the Life of Pi, because it's such a big movie and there's so much to talk about I decided to go with a shorter text (a non-fiction short story) to balance it out. Of course this isn't mandatory and you can choose a book etc. but it definitely makes it easier to analyse both texts. Your texts don't need to have similarities because you can contrast them.

Sorry if I'm too late but I hope this helps in some way  :)

If some schools have their core text as life of pi can I still use that as my related text or not?

Hey, wiseeh.

Yep! Although students are discouraged, they won't be penalised if they use a prescribed text as their related text. :)

If you want to write Poem or any story just like PI then you have to connect with any expert writer. He/ She can solve the matter in easy way.
