(Omelas, 259). The people of the village in Omelas were some who no longer knew happiness or joy which played a major role in the way their victims were made to suffer.
The result was deaths most likely caused by lack of food. Another cause of many deaths would be fights that erupted because of fights with the Powhatan Indians, the main group of native people in which they traded with. With both parties relying on each other for food, a lack there of may have caused many people to be killed by Indians who needed food because of the drought which also affected their ability to grow things. [Doc.C] Shows in a group of one-hundred and ten colonists, a vast majority of them were gentlemen. Gentlemen were wealthy men not used to working with their hands.
The government created camps in attempt to provide this basic support. The camps nonetheless did provide some senses of security, and the people were receiving better treatments. However, the despite the government’s effort to protect them, the farmers were still constantly in jeopardy due to the inability of finding rightful jobs to feed the family, and also being threatened by wealthy landowners trying to sabotage their unity, pushing them to their limit. In this battle between the rich and the poor, the government did not help the poor very much, because the government was passive and was incapable of solving the ultimate problem,
