The narrator wishes to convey to the readers in great detail about a land of almost perfect design but to describe perfect to just anyone would mean having to understand what that person’s ideal view of perfect is so in this instance it is better to have the reader picture such a place with their own imagination so as to not confuse their beliefs or present Omelas as just another fictional place belonging to a story. How the narrator dives a high level of world building and imaginative writing is through the pleasant sounding descriptions of multiple locations of the Omelas, an example of this would be the line within the first paragraph; “in the streets between houses with red roofs and painted walls, between old moss grown gardens and under avenues of trees, past great perks and public buildings, processions moved.”
The citizens that live in the Omelas utopia have to be made aware of the tormented child shackled down within the public center building’s basement because something either subconsciously or via an order among the people told them that child who is starving to death and almost feral in filth is supposed to be locked down in that cellar, because to them the entirety of the utopia they call home appears to rely on the suffering on at least one individual that is the child.
The primary issue of this culture is similar to the belief of the universe revolving around the earth whereas the Omelas is open to the world yet at the center of it relies an unchangeable rule that one must suffer so the rest may live their days in peace, even though many of the other children are in disagreance the rule dictates that if the child is saved, their world collapses and so if anyone were to break that rule it would be the emotional guilt that destroys everything. This is a utopian society that has forfeited a fraction of its humanity as a whole in order to maintain order and prevent the emotional and physical collapse of the population
I personally believe in leaving the false oasis known as the Omelas as shown with the people there who choose to leave upon seeing the “Tortured child” because in a strange turn of events it is though they are running away from their problem being that child, but at the same time the people who choose to leave also choose to feel guilt and all of their emotions besides just relying on happiness. I agree with being real with your emotions and not shying away from reality and having bad things happening out of your control.
Ok. Go back over your work and revise and edit for clarity. Write shorter, more concise sentences. This is good for a draft, but it needs to be revised. That’s ok, because that’s how we write. We write and then we change things and then eventually settle on a final version. This post needs more attention. Try to get it sharper, clearer, and more concise.
