It symbolizes the fact that the line is extending in both directions. ![]() We represent a line by placing two arrows at both endpoints pointing in opposite directions. Famous mathematician defined the line is "breadthless length".Ī line has a start and an endpoint. In Ancient time, Mathematicians introduced the concept of a line with the sole purpose of denoting objects which had no curves or were straight with negligible depth and breadth. They have the ability to be embedded in higher dimensional spaces. It is also known as a straight line, or a right to emphasize the fact that it does not have any curves anywhere along its length. It is a one-dimensional figure having no thickness and extending infinitely from the extreme ends. ![]() The most basic and elementary form of geometry is the line.

More than a personal tribute, this is a story about love and loss. The book’s subject, Mikee, was a constant companion when I used to cover for the Mr Gay World competition here in the Philippines. We started communicating through Facebook not long after the time when the story in the book started. As a fellow supporter of gay rights, Ad and I had discussed about writing for a website called then known as. The book’s author, Ansh Das though is hardly a stranger. With mostly friends and familiar people playing major characters in the story, I almost felt guilty, like I was peeking at someone’s diary.

The story begins with a description of the Festival of Summer in Omelas, a city by the sea. While the story has been used by pro-lifers and ecofeminists to support their points of view, the majority of the criticism has focused on the religious implications and the utopian nature of the place Le Guin calls Omelas. ![]() ![]() The story acknowledges its debt to the philosopher William James in its subtitle (“Variations on a Theme by William James”), but it also connects to works such as Fyodor Dostoevsky’s The Brothers Karamazov as well as Shirley Jackson’s The Lottery in its use of the scapegoat theme. The story is an allegory about a utopian society, which invites readers to decide what the moral of the story should be. Le Guin’s short story “The Ones Who Walk Away from Omelas,” which was first published in 1973, then collected in The Wind’s Twelve Quarters (1975), has appeared since then in multiple anthologies.
