For BP 3, take one or two of the following discussion questions and develop two to three thoughtful paragraphs in relation to “The Ones Who Walk away from Omelas.”
- How does the narrator invite the audience to imagine Omelas? Why
does the narrator want the audience to co-create this utopia? - Why do the citizens of Omelas have to be made aware of the
existence of the child in the basement? - What specific issues in contemporary culture do you see implicitly
depicted in Omelas? - What does walking away from Omelas represent? Which option do
you think Le Guin believes is the right choice – staying in Omelas or
walking away? Which option would you pick? Why?
Also, don’t forget the requirement to leave four comments to your peers for Blog Post 2. These are also due Thursday.
