Human and animals are the same. They seek food in order to survive in this environment. The survivor is the winner, and the losers die. If the panthers, the wild animals from the short story " Do Seek Their Meat From God", had eaten the boy instead of being killed, there would not be sympathy for the child. In the other way, there would not be sympathy for the panthers as well if they were killed. The panthers were only intended to look for food because they wanted to survive, and there was nothing wrong with eating the boy. In this world, it is either someone is going to kill or to be killed. The story tells the cruel theory of survival in this world and states that there is no mercy for the loser in the competition.
If we the human hold no personal opinion that we are naturally higher than the ones different from us, lots of misfortunes for the animals could have been eliminated.
ReplyDeleteIt is hard to survive in this crucial world. I agree with you.
ReplyDeleteGood to see your blog responses to the short story! I liked the poem about Love...and thought that the sense of voice was quite clear. Continue to write reflectively in response to literature and always strive for eloquence in expression!
