Your original claim is not supported until you explain how your evidence supports to your theme or tone.

  5. symbolism support In “The Ones Who Walk Away From Omelas,” author Ursula Le Guin uses the symbol of the “ones who stay” to symbolize sacrifice, which helps develop the theme “people often go to great lengths to make others feel miserable in pursuit of their own happiness.” A first example of this is stated when Le Guin speaks of the citizens learning to accept their own privilege of living a good life even with their tears and anger: “Their tears at the bitter injustice dry when they begin to perceive the terrible justice of reality and to accept it.” Here, the reader can infer that the city’s citizens symbolicallymust accept the cold sacrificethat they must make to be truly happy. Has the author proven that s/he knows what symbolism is? Has the author explained what the literal symbol represents in the story? Has the author explained how the evidence supports the theme?
