English 200

You are to write 200-300 words in response to the story you have read. Consider the implications of the world that Le Guin invites you into; imagine if you yourself lived in Omelas and came of age to learn about the way that the city runs. What would your reaction be? Which side would you find yourself on? Or would you be able to pick sides at all? Try to examine the reasons why someone would choose one side over the other. Write about any emotional reactions you feel while reading; write about any questions you have, or any observations you make about the story as you read along.
