Ответ:
Both stories take place in a fantasy society which enforces conformity to soul damaging norms. Both stories are didactic, written to teach the reader cautionary lessons about troubling trends in our own society. But their tones differ radically.
Vonnegut's "Harrison Bergemon" is set precisely in the year 2081. Society has gone to absurd lengths to make sure everyone is "equal" and that nobody stands out. This especially means that people have their intelligence, talents, and good looks suppressed so that nobody else will feel inferior. This norm is enforced through violence: apparently anybody brave or intelligent enough to challenge the system is killed. This is a commentary on moves in our own society to "level playing fields" and give people equal opportunity. This future society, however, is so bad nobody would want to live in it.
LeGuin does not set "The Ones who Walk Away from Omelas" in a specific year. It, too depicts a society that has a troubling core.
Maybe the true message of “The Ones Who Stay and Fight” is that we need to start NOW to affect change and enact justice, before it’s too late and we come to a point where even the most beautiful future would still involve senseless death.
Because what I came to realize is that “The Ones Who Walk Away from Omelas” was never just about the abstract idea of a Utopia. It’s about privilege: racial, cultural, social, gender, any kind of privilege. Are we ok with living in a society that oppresses some for the benefit of others? And if not, what are our options? Will we walk away, or will we stay and fight?
Jemisin’s story ends with a call to action, and perhaps a calling-out of Omelas (that is the reactionary part), a challenge to be one of the ones who stay and fight:
Hope this helps you. Do mark me as brainliest.
