    “The Lottery” and “The ones Who Walk Away from Omelas” When comparing the "The Lottery" by Shirley Jackson and "The Ones Who Walk Away from Omelas" by Ursula K. Le Guin, it is easy to see that there are only a few minor differences compared to the obvious similarities. Both stories are about suffering of one person for happiness of the others. The point with both stories is that it is morally wrong for the society to enjoy life as a consequence of the agony experienced by another person. Both stories start beautifully and give the readers a feel of relaxation as summer day is described. People are gathering for something special to them.…

    The Sniper and Cranes have differences that give two opposite ideas of the story. The main focus of The Sniper targets the civil war and the repercussions that follow it, whereas Cranes focuses on the loyalty one has to family and friends. The Sniper expresses the toll the war has taken on the soldier and how it affects him by giving detail about the feelings and thoughts he has about the war. The author wants the reader to know that the sniper is dedicated to his duty and does not think twice about the decisions he has to make. In Cranes, the opposite occurs; Songsam goes out of his duty and gives Tokchae the chance to escape instead of taking him to be killed, as he volunteered to do in the first place.…
