The Ones Who Walk Away from Omelas

      Not everything in this is as it appears on a principle, as well as this story. After reading the story, I had a very different impression I had when I started to read. The author presents a town where everything is happy and makes you look like a village is completely fine, conn incredibly happy and everything is perfect. But when you think everything is fine, when we presented here is the irony of the story is that this happiness of this people is based on the misery of a child. The narrator makes you imagine how that child fence has nothing to civilization, they do not give a life to a human being. The people would rather be happy to change your happiness for a child. Although this is a story with a tragic tone, it is so sad to think that the real world in which we live. Sometimes prefer to be a happy or try to do over the happiness of another, no matter how bad it caused. A perfect example of this story which we live is when many people have the resources financially able to help many needy children as well as the living history of this inhuman life, ignore the need for these and all of them continue to be met and think themselves alone in their welfare regardless of the needs of others.

Myth & Legends

A myth (hidden meaning fake story, speech, emotive word) refers to a story that has a very profound explanation or symbols for a culture in which God is an explanation of the origin, existence and development of a civilization. A legend is a narrative oral or written, in prose or verse, more or less historical appearance, with greater or lesser proportion of imaginative elements. Are they more differences. In the similarities between myths and legends is that many of the myths and legends of creation in the world, even in different countries and contexts, agree in their desire to explain the relationship of humans with the universe, the phenomena of nature and also about our intricate social life. In many of these stories, the gods are represented as vital elements that have a direct relationship with the many situations and events that affect our lives on earth. Establishing linkages and relationships between the real and the imaginary, sometimes simple and sometimes chaotic and difficult to understand.

In the differences between myths and legends can be enumerated as follows:
1. The myth is a story that tries to explain a mystery of reality and is usually associated with the beliefs and rites of a people. The legend does not attempt to explain the supernatural because it is a story that highlights some characteristic or attribute of a town, city or region from real people and events.

2.Myth and legend differ as to the characters and the setting where events unfold.
The characters of the myth are usually gods or supernatural beings while the legend are almost always humans or anthropomorphic animals.

3.The myth and legend have different functions.

4.In the myth the extraordinary or supernatural is essential, in the legend is an accessory.

5.In the myth there is a "divine inspiration" that lets you know the man's explanation of a phenomenon because it occurs at the beginning of the world (God is the only one who can tell men what they otherwise would not know ). By contrast, in the legend is known about this because we know that has been passed from generation to generation, possibly from the moment someone witnessed the event occurred.

The type of the story like more is a legend because recounts events and has a moraLizing ends and is didactic. The legend that I like is the St.Nicolas or "Santa Clous", is one of the most interesting legends out there, not only for me but for the world. This legend is one of the biggest illusions that can have children, the highly anticipated December 25 to receive the gifts that they will leave. It has become one of the most famous legends and popular year after year. I find it so inetresante it is one of the things that gives more joy in every home and every child that is celebrated and many elderly looks.
