Question

Apply Opdal's concept of wonder to both Ursula K. Le Guin's "The Ones Who Walk Away From Omelas" and N.K. Jemisin's "The Ones Who Stay and Fight." Some questions you can consider in your answers (you are not obligated to answer any of these nor should you try to answer all of them): What role does wonder play in the ethical frameworks that the authors set out in their stories? Why do Le Guin and Jemisin frame their moral thought experiments around children? How do the stories use wonder to challenge particular American cultural, social, and political mores? How does the distinction between wonder and curiosity emerge in these stories? How do the authors use wonder to imagine a different, better future? Your first sentence should be a clear, argumentative thesis. Be sure to use direct quotes from both the Jemisin and the Le Guin, no citation necessary at this time.
