LESSON 7 THE ONES WHO WALK AWAY FROM OMELAS Q A:
1. Omelas is a port city by the sea with bright towers and houses with red roofs and painted walls. There are tree-lined avenues, noss-grown gardens, great parks and public buildings. Towards the north side of the city there is a great water-meadow called the Green Fields. Far off to the north and west are mountains with snowy peaks half encircling Omelas.
2. They were joyously celebrating the Festival of Summer with music, dance and processions. Men, women and children were all dressed in festive clothes to celebrate the occasion, except for the riders who
were naked, the high-light of the celebrations was a horse race to be held on the great watermeadow called the Green Fields.
3. They do without monarchy and slavery and also without the stock exchange, the advertisement, the secret police, the bomb, the clergy and soldiers. They do not have cars nor helicopters. And one thing there is none of is guilt.
4. In the middle category -- that of the unnecessary but under-structive -- the writer lists the following, central heating, subway trains, washing machines, beer and even a not habit-forming drug like drooz, and all kinds of marvelous devices not yet invented, floating light sources, fuelless power, a cure for the common cold.
5. It looks like a broom closet or a disused tool room in the basement or cellar of a beautiful public building or a spacious private home. It has a locked door and no window. A little light seeps in between cracks in the boards. In one corner a couple of mops, with stiff, clotted, foul-smelling heads, stand near a rusty bucket. The floor is dirt and damp.
6. It may be a boy or girl who looks about six, but actually is nearly ten. It is feeble-minded. Perhaps it was born defective, or perhaps it has become imbecile through fear, malnutrition and neglect. It is so thin that there are no calves to its legs. Its belly protrudes. It is naked. Its buttocks and thighs are a mass of festered sores.
