The Importance Of Transcendentalism In Today's Culture

Martin Luther King Jr. was a pivotal member in the Civil Rights movement and was an advocate for peaceful protest to gain equality.

The basement where the child resides frightens the citizens because it symbolizes how the society could be despondent, so they allow the child to be the scapegoat. I believe the title, The Ones Who Walk Away from Omelas, is significant because it expresses people that are not satisfied in Omelas walk away to find their pure happiness. Le Guin does a great job influencing her readers into thinking that receiving happiness through others is not worth it.

To stop communism here or they’ll eventually take over America. That’s a bunch of… bullshit!

Locals are afraid of speaking up turning activity in because of fear of repercussion. The hard-working men and women are now victims of orchestrated crimes. It is very sad to know that the government hasn 't been able to help out and better the situation.
