ReplyDelete6) The people who decide to leave from Omelas are ones who want to make the right decision instead of the easy one. I believe the narrator approves of these people because even though leaving mean being separated from the community, it's only right to not support the misery of a child, just for your own happiness.
People who walk away are the people who can't except the fact that one innocent child should suffer for their happiness and realize that the child is way more innocent unlike themselves. I believe the narrator approves of these kinds of people because he might feel as if there shouldn't be a child to suffer for their happiness.
ReplyDeleteThe narrator seems to approve of the people walking away from Omelas. The people who walk away from Omelas are those that disapprove of the treatment of the child for their own happiness, they know it is selfish and inhumane and know that no outcome is worthy enough to cause the torment of a human, especially a child.
ReplyDeleteThe people who walk away from Omelas are the people who know it is wrong and just can't take it anymore. They can't do anything to help the child, so they do the next best think they can think of and leave the so called "utopian" town. I believe that the narrator does agree with the actions of those who leave the town because the narrator is trying to persuade the readers into believing that Omelas is not a perfect place and that there is evil lurking in the streets.
ReplyDeleteThe people who walk away from Omelas are the people who don't agree with the society. The people who walk away don't think it's right to treat a child miserably just so they can be happy. They know it's wrong and no longer want to be apart of it. If they can't help the child then they just take the other way out which is leaving. I believe the narrator approves of these people because they are thinking of the child and even though they will no longer be apart of Omelas they rather search for their own happiness than let a child suffer.

The people who walk away from Omelas are so to speak the 'weak ones' because they can't handle the misery and all the bad that goes on in a Omela. I don't think the narrator neither really approves or disapproves of the people who walk away from Omela but I think the narrator is leaning more toward the approving of them side because of the fact that he just wants the people to be happy. The ones who walk away from Omelas could fight and try to make things right and how'd they like things to be but they would just rather walk away and take the easy route.
The people that walk away from Omelas are the ones that are not blinded by thier own happiness. They have seen what the city's and thier happiness depended on. Although they might not help the child they take responsibility for thier actions and leave the city of happiness in order to satisfy thier conscious.
ReplyDeleteI think the narrator is disapproving of the people that walk away because she is trying to show the audience that the city is perfect. If the people walk away then the city is no longer perfect, it's imperfect.
The type of people that are in the story "The walk away from Omelas" are those who have been brain washed into thinking a specific way about what happiness is and how to obtained happiness.
ReplyDeleteThe narrator does not seam to approve of the peoples idea of happiness therefore disproving of there society. The word presented in the selection gives a negative tone towards the people and their community.

Those who walk away from the Omelas are those who have realized what is going on and decide that it would be wrong to stay there. They seem as if they were disgusted by the rest of the people who act as if it is normal or do not give sympathy for the child. The narrator supports these people in their decisions. He knows that they are leaving the town and will most likely never come back, but deep down he knows they made the right decision.

ReplyDeleteThe people that walk away from the Omelas are those who got slap with a dose of reality and going in the right direction. I believe the narrator approves these kinds of people because they actually care for the child and want to search for their own happiness instead of putting up with somebody else's kind of happiness that they don't approve.

ReplyDeletePeople who walk away are people who take notice of how cruel and unfair the town os to this young child, they feel the need to walk away in disappointment to this treatment. They disagree with the selfish act and consider leaving this "Utopian" town.
I think the narrator approves of these people. The narrator knows evil stalks the walls of this "perfect" city, for that reason people leave in disgust of this child's poverty state. They feel better walking away from untrue happiness to live on with their lives knowing that a young child has been taken from his freedom and put to misery for others joy.

ReplyDeleteI believe the people that left where the ones who learned that their happiness shouldn't depend on a kids downfall. I believe they had integrity, and felt bad living around people that were selfish enough to make a kid suffer.
I believe the author approves of them, because she speaks about them in like a higher level than she does the others. She talks about the others in a disgusted manner, while the ones who leave are regarded in gratitude somewhat.

The people that walked away from the Omelas are the ones that had confidence and curiosity of their own lives. They didn't let society influence them and decided that what's waiting for them is more than just a projection of happiness and melancholy thoughts of the children in the city. The narrator is leaning towards the people who left, because of some of the contradictions in the story and it shows more of a proud feeling at the end when he states the people walking away from the Omelas.
The ones who walk away are people who don't like for one to suffer for their happiness. They decided to take responsibility and be the source of their own joy. I think the author approves because these people walk away from the normal and create their own path to contentment. They are independent and free from constraints of social expectations.

The people who walk away from Omelas are the ones who have a heart. They are more compassionate towards the child. I think they couldn't bare to live a happy perfect life at the exchange of the hidden child suffering and half starved. They don't want the child to be the source of their happiness.
I think the narrator approves, but on the inside. He doesn't want to show it, but he doesn't state otherwise.

ReplyDeleteThe people who walk away from the omelas are the people who see past their phony smiles and see the real trouble in the community. They are people who are tired of seeing the child suffer just to protect their facade of happiness. I believe the narrator supports those people because they're doing what is right to preserve the kid. I think that the narrator sees the just in them leaving.

1. The people that walked away from The Omelas are the ones that don't support the suffering of that one child so that they can live a life of ease. The feel like the child is innocent and shouldn't have to go through this for. Everyone else in the city.
2. The narrator approves of the people that leave the Omelas. Even though the narrator approves of the people's decision I feel like he still agrees with what the majority of the people in the city think. I feel like he's "wishy washy" and therefore anything he says about the city and it's people can't be trusted.

ReplyDelete1. The people walking away from Omelas are the people that disagree with the mistreatment of the child.They see the selfishness behind it, keeping him hostage for their own happiness. The people walking away risk there own "happiness" because sit is untrue and they walk away in search of real happiness.
2. The narrator approves of the people walking away, and it is showing how Omela is not perfect.
(Lesly Cardona 2nd period)
ReplyDelete1.The people who walk away from Omelas are willing to go find their own happiness because they belive their happiness doesn't depend on the mistreating of the little boy.
2.The narrator approves of these people, but hes doing it inside without letting others know.
