    In the short story “Harrison Bergeron” by Kurt Vonnegut the story is set in the year 2081 and presents to the reader how life might turn out in the future. The author illustrates that one-day the government is going to try to have every individual be the same, resulting in Vonnegut’s demonstration of a dystopian future for the population. The world ahead of everyone is a world of equality. In the year 2081 everyone is the same; they are all the same weight, if someone is beautiful or handsome they are to wear masks, given black caps for their teeth and people were given a mental handicap radio in there ears if they were too smart.

    Many advancements have happened in the United States. Most of them have had positive effects; some have had negative effects. Government intervention has strongly increased as our demographics grows in age and population. Depending on a citizen’s political views, this increased government intervention could be good for the United States, or it could be just the opposite. Few have been living with the same government their whole life, so they wouldn’t know what is legal or illegal. In Kurt Vonnegut’s “Harrison Bergeron”, the future consists of a more strict United States government, strongly overpowering the citizens.…

    From the beginning of the book, it strikes me how brave and passionate Elie Wiesel is. To be a 13-year-old boy and studying the Jewish religion intensely at time when it was dangerous to be Jew shows great passion and dedication to me about his character. His bravery is also shown when on the train to Birkenau and in Auschwitz when in front of his father he continues to stay strong. Reading about how the Jewish people of Sighet had housed Nazis reminds me of the hospitality certain Native American tribes gave to the settlers and the settlers abused that generosity like the Nazis did.…

    The value a society places on a citizen’s rights and the amount of value that individual has compared to others has shown to be one of the factors to determine how progressive, or therefore primitive a society is considered to be. Equality before the law as both a citizen and a leader, known as the rule of law, is a very important concept to those who feel all people deserve equal rights. In Harrison Bergeron by Kurt Vonnegut, Not only is an individual equal before the law, but in “every which way.” (Vonnegut 669). Anyone with superior looks, strength, or intelligence is given government-dictated handicaps that make him or her average. Hazel and George Bergeron, two citizens unfortunate enough to give birth to an abnormal baby. They just were…

    The major theme in “Harrison Bergeron” is true equality is not achievable. In the story all the talented characters with an above average intelligence have to put handicaps on in order to make them function in a similar way to the average characters. The intent of this is to make all the characters equal, however, it only makes them stronger and rebel or makes them weaker than average. One instance where the character is made stronger is with Harrison. A prime example of his strength is when “Harrison tore the straps of his handicap harness like wet tissue paper” (Vonnegut, 4). After he rips the harness of he continues to rip the rest of his handicaps off. Even before he does this, he puts himself above all other characters. When the tv announcer…

    The major theme of Harrison Bergeron is No one should be more capable than anyone else and if you stick out you are punished. The first support I had on that was with George and Hazel, George was smarter than Hazel so he was forced to wear a headset that messed with his mind. The ballerinas were prettier than everyone else, so they had to wear masks to hide their faces. Harrison was stronger than the average person, so he had to wear 300lbs. of birdshot around his neck. At the end, Harrison was the emperor and he had his empress, they were both shot with a double barrel 10-gauge shotgun for breaking the rules. No one should be more capable than anyone else and if you stick out you are…
