The Ones Who Walk Away From Omelas"

1./How i reacted to this piece was i thought it was more describing the town than anything. It talked about the kids, the smell of cooking throughout the tents, about its technology and much more. Also how the people couldn't help that child in the room. It almost made it seemed like they didn't care about the poor child.

2./ How this connected to 1984 was that people were suffering in both of these pieces. People were suffering in 1984 because they had to believe everything that big brother said even if it was wrong. And in this story, the child was suffering down in the cellar.

3./ The main imagery that is for the story " The ones who walk away from omelas" is imagery. It is used because it shows how everything looks and is without using pictures. It tell how the city looks and acts.
