Title explanation of "Do Seek Their Meat from God."

The title of Roberts' short story, "Do Seek Their Meat from God" is a biblical allusion from the King James Bible, Psalm 104:21 which is "The young lions roar after their prey, and seek their meat from God". This verse, in biblical explanations means the God feeds every creatures fairly, not just sheeps and lambs, and lions roar in this case to thank the God for food given by him. However, in Roberts' short story, the title is interpreted different from the bible. In the story, panthers who roar, thanking the God for the human meat of a crying kid, get killed by the hunter who unintentionally saves his son. This is an unfair treatment to panthers as they lost their food because of settlers changing the environment and even if they get to find food, they get killed by the settlers. In the hunter's perspective, it is viewed as panthers are threatening the crying child and he gets to take out the gun to kill the panthers and save the child who he later figures out was his son. The irony is the cry of the child brought the child the meat of panther, while the roar of panthers brought them nothing in the end.

In short, the novel brings up the idea of "Is God really feeding every creatures fairly?" If God was really fair, the panthers wouldn't have died just because of the reason that they were searching for food. Or the novel can bring up the basic of idea of "Do God really exists in the first place?" Nevertheless, we can summarize the theme of the story as "The world is unfair" as the world was truly unfair to the panthers in the story.

First Post

The movie which is still memorable to me is called "Train to Busan", a zombie movie by a Korean director Yeon Sang-ho who used to create animated movies. The movie was a major hit in Korea with a total of 11,564,524 audiences in total and it was screened in Vancouver 2 months ago.

The movie sets in place in Seoul, South Korea where the main character named Seokwo Seo working in a stock firm as a fund manager. Seokwo Seo has a daughter named Suan Seo, and he is a terrible dad as he is busy with his own job and have his mom raise her most of the time. He divorced with his wife not so long ago and his daughter wanted to go to Busan where her mother lives. The main character took a rest and with his daughter got into a KTX, a Korean rapid bullet train, bound for Busan at Seoul Station. At the same time, an infected person got into the train as of instinct for survival and the infection inside the KTX begins.

Personally, I think it was a masterpiece as action scenes were impressive, showed a bitter satire on Korean society and I got to understand each characters' conflicts. Each and every scene in the movie was thrilling and hard to foresee what was coming. If you want to watch it, go and buy or rent a DVD if available and see it for yourself.
