Everybody has a name…that’s just part of what make us a person. Sandra: I don’t like how he is just called the sacrificed one. I finally got up enough courage to go and see what the sacrificed one really looks like. Sandra: Who did you go look at? Ben: You know… him, the one locked up in the basement of the old church. Finally, this essay assumes that Omelas is a unique city on the planet earth. The two characters will debate the issue of sacrificing one person for the good of the community, and they will answer the question, “Would you walk away from Omelas?” The first character is named Sandra, and the other is named Ben. In this essay, one character will be a Utilitarian and another character will be Kantian. However, the odd citizen becomes so disgusted with the fact the child is allowed to suffer that they leave Omelas for good. Most of the community accepts the fact that one child must suffer for happiness to exist. In the story there is a city named Omelas, in which a single child suffers so that the community may live with great happiness. The Kantian point of view is contrasted with the Utilitarian point of view. In the story, The Ones Who Walk Away From Omelas, two points of view are introduced.
