you Wrote:In the 1930's, Adolf Hitlerhad begunbegan to put all of the blame for Germany's flaws onto the Jews. Hitler had essentially used the Jews as a scapegoat to make the rest of Germany seem superior and near-perfect. Similarly, in Ursula Le Guin's short story, “The Ones Who Walk Away From Omelas”, the citizens of Omelas, an almost Utopian society, trapsa child in a basement and blamesthe child for anything that goes wrong. The child is forced to stay in the basement andis forcedto take the role of a scapegoat for deeds hehadhas nothing to do with. The narrator describes how the city depends on that one child for balance. The child had done nothing to put himself inside the basementandyet/but/still he cannot protect himself from the others. Because the city of Omelas requires at least one citizen in the city to absorb the blame for all of their wrong doings to appear as if the rest of the city is flawless, they must entrap a helpless child and utilize that child as a scapegoat.
Policed for you.
I feel something else is still off though. Perhaps:

The poor helpless boy did not have a chance to dispute his nonexistent guilts, nor could he resist and free himself from captivity, from his fate as a scapegoat being utilized to make sure that the rest of Omelas seems spotlessly perfect.
Just a suggestion. I can't tell what's not right with your sentences. I do grasp the idea so I guess it's okay, but I can't tell what's wrong with it seeing as I'm very hungry right now lol. I myself have always been a bad writer, I don't know if that ever changed but yeah well.. I tried.
