Analysis
Pi went back to see the baker and asked him about Islam. The baker described the religion, which Pi found elegant and beautifully simple. The baker taught Pi the Muslim prayer routine.
Instead of living with his stereotypes, though, Pi seeks to learn the essence of religion. He clearly finds another aspect of his God reflected in the Muslim worldview.
