Description

Welcome to The Fast and the Fictitious. In each episode, students in English 2410, a Dual Enrollment Fiction course, will deep dive a story, highlight key takeaways, and relate the themes of the story to their lives.

In this episode, Aiden, Oliver, and Ali G talk about “The Ones Who Walk Away From Omelas,” by Ursula LeGuin. The story asks how far a society is willing to go to sacrifice the rights of the individual for the good of the many. Reception is mixed from the students, but one thing they all agree on is McDonald’s Sprite. We hope you enjoy.
