.... gardens and under avenues of trees.” We aren’t given names or descriptions of these people, so that we may relate to them as the “every person.” Yet it comes to an end. Theme and plot collide into one sentence. The crux of Omelas. Le Guin asks if one can truly believe in Omelas.

.... One of the main reasons that Robert Bolt probably chose 16th century Thomas More as his hero for A Man for all Seasons was that he liked his personality. By that I mean that as Bolt wrote about More, he discovered more and more things that he found admirable about the man. At the outset, Robert Bolt was looking for a person who had a strong idea of who he is because this is what Bolt thinks is necessary to be a hero and this is exactly the type of man that Thomas More is. More saw in himself something that was his only and he was that it was something that allowed him to live life with confidence in himself.

.... fire. When he sees what he thinks is a rabbit, he impulsively fires at it. In addition, after his frightening discovery, Fred thoughtlessly flees the scene instead of making any attempt to save Mr. Haskell. Preceding the accident, Fred's intense determination to hide the truth is illustrated clearly with this quote: "'I'll never tell,' he told himself. 'They'll never even suspect me.'" It is quite evident that most of the responsibility in this situation belongs to Fred. Furthermore, Fred's parents' lack of responsibility indirectly contributes to Mr. Haskell's death. Their first act of carelessness is when they neglect to keep the gun locked up in a safer place. Inste ....

Plato maintains that, in order to be good, a man "…ought not to calculate the chance of living or dying; he ought only to consider whether in doing anything he is doing right or wrong - acting the part of a Good man or of a bad."
