    their small island would once and for all become free from the colonization of the United States. Puerto Rico has been living under U.S. domination for the past 92 years and it’s considered the last nation in Latin America that is still living in colonization. Puerto Ricans want to be free and should be allowed to be free; to have the opportunity to vote for the president who sends its young people to war‚ to have their own currency‚ to fly one flag in all their schools and finally to feel pride

    In Ursula Le Guin’s fantasy science fiction story‚ The Ones Who Walk Away From Omelas‚ LeGuin uses vague and vivid imagery to add to the mystifying and perplexing city of Omelas. The author reveals that words are insufficient to describe how perfect the city of Omelas is‚ and ask the reader to create their own mental image of the people and town. In other words‚ Omelas is a utopia which is impossible to conceive in modern society due to conflict of interest making it impractical to satisfy everyone’s

    The One Who Walked Away from Omelas I do not think the narrator lives in Omelas‚ because of the way he compares their society to ours‚ and “them” to “us.” He also never includes himself in his descriptions of them‚ although that begs the question: how does he know them so intimately if not for having been there? The Omelas society is utopian‚ intelligent‚ compassionate‚ respectful‚ having no need for law‚ or clergy‚ beautifully built; the list goes on. Everything is perfect‚ all except the

    Why Walk When You Could Run? It has been said by many‚ "Any society‚ any nation‚ is judged on the basis of how it treats its weakest members”. What if the weakest member of a society is placed in a position to carry the town’s woes? That is true in Ursala Le Guin’s short story‚ “The Ones Who Walk Away from Omelas.” Le Guin’s depressing tale describes a society that is neither compassionate nor relevant‚ speaks about a culture of people who are corrupt thereby making the characters static. However

    One take-away from Native American Perspectives that helped me understand Native American history more was the idea of regimes of truth from French philosopher Michel Foucault. This idea was vital in understanding Native American and settler colonial relations. Foucault said‚ “Truth is a thing of this world: it is produced only by a virtue of multiple forms of constraint. And it induces regular effects of power. Each society has its regime of truth‚ its “general politics” of truth: that is‚ the types

    Omelas and American Society. Disturbingly Futuristic? Nothing in this world is perfect‚ just as no single person is perfect. You can’t attain perfection in an imperfect world. There can be no light without dark. But in the short story “The Ones Who Walk Away From Omelas” you come across a truly perfect world with a small catch: the suffering of an individual for the happiness of the rest. Of course there are many differences between the two worlds that present themselves easily. However there are
