“Omelas sounds in my words like a city in a fairy tale, long ago and far away, once upon a time.” (Guin, 1973, p.1) and a part of this invitation to the reader is because Omelas is an imaginary city as it has been said in this sentence. She makes direct contact with the reader when she invites readers to fill in perfect details about utopia as it suits them. And her objective approach accomplishes this goal. Furthermore, she has appealed to ethos to sound fair and build credibility in eyes of the reader. Ursula has used third person narrative to present herself as unbiased and fair. And finally shows people walking over morality to taste happiness. This grounds the concept of individual versus society later in the story. Only pain is intellectual, only evil interesting.” (Guin, 1973, p.1) the author has clearly stated how we take happiness for granted and romanticize suffering as something to enjoy more. “The trouble is that we have a bad habit, encouraged by pedants and sophisticates, of considering happiness as something rather stupid. A festival where people have been coming from different places to witness the perfect happiness of Omelas, which is considered to be very simple to have. “Far off to the north and west the mountains stood up half encircling Omelas on her bay.” (Guin, 1973, p.1), this vividly shows her technique to construct a scenario of the festival.

Moreover, she has used an objective approach at the beginning of the story and has introduced the utopia with the help of a festival.

The author wants us to envision the perfect society the way we want when she says “Perhaps it would be best if you imagined it as your own fancy bids,” (Guin, 1973, p.1). The author has picked on an imaginary utopian society to reveal the cost one has to pay for perfect happiness: the nature of people to reject morality and suppress the weak has also been discussed through sensory deprivation and the suffering of a child. The ones who walk away from Omelas by Ursula K.Le Guin has been published in 1973.
