depressing ambiance of the nursing home led me to believe that the home was for people with lower or limited income. If the nursing home was making money, it was not being spent to make the building look inviting or comfortable for visitors or residents.

citizens with the optimal health and happiness as promised, rather it is to control, manipulate, and condition citizens to conform to the Society’s way. This idea is demonstrated through the numerous references to artifacts that belong to some of the residents of Oria. Their symbolism not only aids in revealing the Society’s underlying motives but also demonstrates how the artifacts bring a sense of security and comfort to their…
