    Harrison bergeron

    As George and Hazel watch television one night the program is interrupted by an announcement stating that "Harrison Bergeron, age fourteen, has just escaped from jail, where he was held on suspicion of plotting to overthrow the government. He is a genius and an athlete, is under-handicapped, and should be regarded as extremely dangerous."(Vonnegut, 915) At first the reader is lead to believe that Harrison is a miscreant and should not be trusted. That is until Harrison’s character is further developed. “Harrison placed his big hands on the girls tiny waist, letting her sense the weightlessness that would soon be hers. And then, in an explosion of joy and grace… hit the floor.” (Vonnegut, 916-917) By further developing Harrison’s character, the reader no longer views him as the villain of the story, but starts to understand why he was trying to over throw the government. Hence, the reader is now conflicted, what would they do if in George and Harrison’s position, die trying to overthrow the government, or die never truly being yourself.…

    Augustus In The Res Gestae

    One of the overall points that Augustus makes certain he conveys in the Res Gestae is that above all of his accomplishments, he was cared for by the people of his empire. The first part of the document addresses his various accolades of which were awarded to him by the senate and other such organizations of power. When pointing out that the Res Gestae was the official recording and collection of Augustus’ life by the man himself, the extent of his want to be remembered in a positive light is revealed. Out of the entirety of the emperors’ many accomplishments he still felt the need to mention that “all the citizens, individually and on behalf of their towns, have unanimously and continuously offered prayers at all the pulvinaria for my health.” This statement stresses the favor presented to the emperor from the lowest ranking people of his society and nothing further. The inclusion of this report and others of a similar nature imply an air of uncertainty regarding the legacy he was to leave behind.…

    Until They Bring the Streetcars Back

    If love is not something you say, but something you do, then how many acts of loving go unnoticed throughout a day? It seems that the simplest actions, such as waving hello to an elderly couple on the street, can be the most sentimental. This theme plays out in Until They Bring the Streetcars Back, through Cal’s kindness and blind compassion. Despite his own hesitation and fear, and despite his family’s well-worn advice to “leave well-enough alone,” Cal fights tooth and nail to better Gretchen’s life. Whether he is giving her a baby-doll to hold on to, or a Nut Goodie to liven her spirits, or merely listening to her cry, Cal makes his best effort to be a friend to the friendless. He finds himself mixed into a blender of emotional turmoil as he enters a world of abuse and terror unimaginable to a seventeen year old boy. Still, he is relentless, stealing liquor—endangering his own…
