write evidence 3 sentences

Answer 1

In both "The Giver" by Lois Lowry and Ursula K. Le Guin's "The Ones Who Walk Away from Omelas," there are underlying themes that explore the moral complexities of human society. In "The Giver," characters like Jonas challenge the emotional and ethical cost of a seemingly utopian society that sacrifices individual experiences for the collective good, suggesting that true goodness arises from empathy and choice. Conversely, "Omelas" presents a society that thrives on the suffering of one child, raising questions about the nature of happiness and the moral compromises that humans are willing to accept for the sake of their own contentment, ultimately portraying a more cynical view of human nature.
