1.  Comment on Narrative structure of the novel. Compare with that of Life of Pi.

In both the novels narrative structures are same and the element of god is also there. In one night @ call center prologue and epilogue are very interesting one. In pie’s story pie has faith in god during his journey but then this idea deconstruct also. When we camper both novel at that time Life of pie considered classic novel rather then On@cc. Yan Martel had deep observation of India and he presented well even he is not Indian like places, animal world, religions, schools etc. so on the other side we can find shallowness in ON@CC. ON@CC is known as ‘Dramedy’. Martel express process of paradox well in his novel. Pie explained that ‘Maturity doesn’t come with age, it comes with experience’. When we look towards the end of the novels at that time we find that in Life of pie’s end is well projected with deep philosophy and in ON@CC the end is not much attractive and good.

2. What sort of effect of Globalization is found in on@tcc?

The effect of globalization is expressed well through the 6 character’s struggle who worked in call center. In it we find man corporate. Friedam’s the world is Flat’ is non fictional book.
