Do seek meat from God

     I think the author did a very good job in using descriptive and vivid language to make the readers feel sympathy for both the child and the panther clubs. At first, one would want the hunter to kill the panthers because one doesn't want the child to die. However, at the end of the story, when the author disclosed the body of the two panther clubs, one would feel pity for them too. This story shows us that people benefit at the expense of others. Nothing ever comes for free. Just like the life of the child. In order to save the child, the lives of the two panther clubs were sacrificed. This story uses imagery to make the readers picture the wilderness of which the story took place. One can easily imagine how scared the child would be and how much the hunter would rather go home to his hot dinner and lovely wife. This story also contains the concept of survival of the fittest. Because the hunter was strong enough to kill the panther, he is the final victor. In nature, it is not always about who is right or wrong; it is about who is stronger. I really enjoyed reading this story because it brought me to the wilderness, witnessing the struggle between human and animals.
