After carefully considering our initial discussions about “Harrison Bergeron,” “The Ones Who
Walk Away from Omelas,” “The Handsomest Drowned Man in the World,” and “A Very Old
Man with Enormous Wings” and “The Lottery,” please use the prompt below to plan, draft,
revise and edit a short critical essay (4-6 pages, typed, double-spaced, and carefully proofread)
that offers a clear discussion of the topic. Please remember to use specific textual illustrations
(while avoiding over-use of plot summary) to support the controlling idea of your writing.
