The United States is considered to be the land of opportunities for everyone to the point where people have idealized the lifestyle of people in this country. Many people believe this is the greatest country in the world that has equality, freedom, and justice for all, however others question this. Do you agree with many people that the U.S. society is free, equal, and happy or do you share the beliefs of the opposite side?

However, her story is a more fictitious story, which is really hard to believe for the reader. This does not ensure a believable story and the reader could easily disengage from the story. Le Guin is aware of her work as an unrealistic story when she states, “Omelas sounds in my words like a city in a fairy tale, long ago, and far away, once upon a time” (697). When she describes a fictitious society, it does not add any type of credibility to her work because the reader cannot take her work seriously but simply as a fiction story that is hard to be critically analyzed.

Additionally, Le Guin ends the story with an open ending to leave the reader reflecting on what he will do if he was in that situation, but indirectly telling the reader to do something about it by insinuating that something is wrong about this society. At the end, Le Guin describes how people who are part of Omelas society and after seeing the child suffering, they reflect upon that and decide to walk away from Omelas. However, the author creates mystery to the story when states, “They leave Omelas, they walk away ahead into darkness, and they do not come back” (700). This shows the reader how important is to do something about the inhuman act now rather than later feeling guilty about the suffering of the child and cowardly leave the town without doing something. That is an interesting way to leave the reader reflecting on what he/she is supposed to do if he/she were in a similar situation. The authors force the reader to analyze on what is the price a person from Omelas
