![]() ![]() In our world, this can represent oppressed minorities, ignored unskilled workers, and the impoverished both in the United States and the world. In its most concrete form, I think the child in “The Ones Who Walk Away from Omelas” represents those who must suffer in order for others to live a lavish, carefree life. Which seems to show all the people in our upper class who seem to ignore the minorities problems or pretend that they are not happening as there is no direct repercussions on their own lives. ![]() And by revealing the child after describing such a happy community it shows how many people who are a part of the upper class that live in ignorant bliss regardless of the child. ![]() By showing a population that walked away from the Omelas it shows those in society who have chosen to recognize the less fortunate and do something about it rather than living in a world in which we do not recognize those who have less than the upper class does. The child seems to represent all of the people in our society who are less fortunate and suffering while the others who have all that they need can go on living life regardless of those who have nothing else. Although this seems to be a very extreme representation of the haves and have nots in our society it is still very related. ![]() The people in the community seem to represent the haves and the child represents the have nots. I believe that the child is a representation of all the people in our society who are less fortunate. ![]()
