In the short story "Do Seek Their Meat From God" by Charles Roberts, the theme is about the concept of karma. Karma is essentially where you get "paid back" what you deserve. If you are constantly doing bad things to people or in general, then bad things will happen to you and vice versa. In the short story, the settler decides to go help a little boy crying out of the goodness of his heart even though he already had a rough day and it could possibly be dangerous. As a result, he saved his own little boy from 2 panthers that were going to eat his child. In conclusion, the works of karma are definitely shown in this short story.

Video Game Review: League of Legends


League of Legends (LoL) is a multiplayer online battle arena like game. It's a game that I have played over the course of about 4 years and have enjoyed it for quite a while. It is my go to game at the moment, as it can be enjoyed both by yourself, or if you play with your buddies. 

The game League of Legends was developed by Riot Games and was released during the late months of 2009. It grew out as a small game but has developed into one of the most popular online multiplayer games around the world. It is a fast growing game and has helped the developed the world of electronic sports, also called E-Sports, also with providing streams for entertainment and competition. Currently, they are featuring the World Championship Tournament that is hosting the best teams from across the world to battle. Players choose their characters with the intent of destroying the enemy's base while protecting your own as well.

Personally, LoL is an amazing game. It has tons and tons of characters, called "champions", to choose from along with releases of more and more of champions. Every month or two, a new champion would be released to keep the contents of the game fresh. Along with that, updates would come in at around the same time to make sure characters are not too strong and not too weak at any given time. However, most of the time, some characters are incredibly strong and some drastically weak, causing the reason for such updates to be necessary.

The worst part about LoL that a lot of people can agree on is, the community. A lot of players from the community are not the nicest people you will meet. Most people will get mad or angry at you if you don't play well and say rude and hurtful things. Due to the game getting more and more popular, people have realized the huge number of people that behave like this and being more supportive is now being encouraged. Youtube videos or even posts about how to do better in the game almost always talks about not being mean or unkind to others. I think the main cause is the age group of people that play this game. People around the teenage years or even younger play this game and say hurtful things because it is not something they can see as hurtful or even bad at all.

Overall, LoL is an amazing game and I have learned to love it and ignore the cons. In my free time, I always play a bit of LoL with friends just to have some fun. Most of the time it`s just to relax when I have nothing left to do. If it were not for the LoL community, League of Legends could be a perfect game.
