It has elements corresponding to both types of literature although they are divided into the first and second halves of the story respectively. The author leads you on to believe that Omelas is in perfect harmony and that the inhabitants are content with their lives completely. The people of Omelas have no crime‚ sickness‚ poverty or greed. However‚ as the story

The Omelas story starts out depicting a beautiful utopia in summer during a festival (249-250). Even from the beginning of the story‚ the reader gets this idea and belief that the people of this city live a blissful and
