Question

write evidence 3 sentences written by seventh grader

Answer 1

In both "The Giver" and "Omelas," there are elements that show how society can be built on the suffering of one or a few individuals. In "The Giver," the people live in a controlled environment where emotions and pain are taken away for the sake of "safety," while in Omelas, the happiness of the entire city depends on the misery of a single child. However, the stories disagree on human goodness because "The Giver" suggests that true happiness involves accepting both joy and pain, while Omelas shows that people can ignore a child's suffering for their own happiness.
