This poor child symbolizes slavery in every way, because it does not have any liberty, it is a servant to all citizens of utopia so they could have a happy life. However, this poor child’s freedom is taken from it, just as slavery. There are no slaves in Utopia, as the author describes. “They know that they, like the child, are not free” the author writes, enlightening the reader that although the citizens live what it seems “free”, within their feelings and thoughts, they are not free. But what we see in our world or in this story, is that nobody is truly free. As human beings, we have always fought for freedom, it is encrypted in our D.N.A. The author describes that Omelas does not have any type of ruling system, no king or president, political system, technology or many things that engulf our society nowadays. The thesis statement reflects problems that our society has been suffering since the beginning, such as military sacrifice, slavery, and injustice among us.
