Wood Chair- made in 1988:
Marc Newson’s creations are so different and breathtaking that it is hard to choose the favourite but Wood chair has certainly grabbed my attention. It is one of my favourite from his collection. The wood chair is an oversized lounge chair made of bent natural beech heartwood. The chair looks simple yet complex. The chair is bent to form a 'double curve' or 'alpha shapes’ making it look really complex and intricate. The use of light colour makes it look simple and classy grabbing your attention and making you want to sit on it and relax.
Marc Newson’s each works are very creative and original. The ‘Lockheed Lounge’ is an extraordinary piece which has become one of

    For this assignment, I selected American pilot Chuck Yeager because of his long history with the aviation and aerospace field through the U.S. military, as well as the breakthroughs he made during his service. His ambition, dignity, and patriotism for his country and line of work makes him stand out from many others in this field, and as a result, I feel he has contributed greatly to the aerospace industry.…

    As the story begins, the reader learns that the story takes place in an equal society where everybody was equal in every way. “The year was 2081, and everybody was finally equal…United States Handicapper General.” (Vonnegut, 912) It is in these living conditions that Vonnegut creates conflict by developing the characteristics of the “law abiding” father George Bergeron and his “rebel” son Harrison Bergeron.…

    After reading the title I wasn’t interested in reading the article whatsoever because it appeared to be just another one of those articles designed to bore me to death. After reading the first sentence the author slightly caught my attention. With the first few words in all caps the author said “THE YEAR WAS 2081, and everybody was finally equal.” As I was reading it I had a puzzled look on my face. Not because I didn’t like it, but because I was curious to know what crazy idea was the author going to use to explain how everybody became equal in the future. As I read on the author explained that some amendments to the constitution was responsible for all of the equality. I kept reading and came across something that I was very unfamiliar with which was a “Handicapper General”. I said to myself what in the world is a Handicapper General, and because I was curious to find out I proceeded to read on. The author never really defined what one was but I could assume what one was from context clues like what the characters in the article said about the Handicapper General and her actions. I thought it was funny the way the government went about making everyone equal. They put masks on people’s faces and attached extra weight to them depending on how strong they were. As I approached the middle of the article it seemed like so much was going on I began to get a little frustrated. I couldn’t really make out what was going on as if I skipped over a part in the story but I’m very sure I didn’t. This is definitely an article I would have to read more than once to help me better understand it. I don’t know if the old man was hallucinating when his son all of a sudden appeared on the TV screen or what, but I feel like too much began to occur too fast and the way it’s written mostly in quotes and not much narration made it harder for me to understand. I think I would be…

    In the dystopian society depicted in Kurt Vonnegut’s, “Harrison Bergeron, ” everyone is made equal. The story begins with, “The year was 2081, and everybody was finally equal. They weren't only equal before God and the law. They were equal every which way” (Vonnegut 1). Not everyone is born equal but the government organization lead by the United States Handicapper General, Diana Moon Glampers, has placed various handicaps on everyone in order to make everyone equal before God and the law. Vonnegut’s use of satire and focus on equality is to show the flawed view we have on it and how it effects society.…

    “All men are created equal” these are the words of Thomas Jefferson. Jefferson believed we should live in a world like this, but are we meant to live in a society where everyone is equal and normal? The ideas of egalitarianism can be dangerous if they are interpreted too literally. The agonizing and frustrating normal world in which “Harrison Bergeron” by Kurt Vonnegut Jr. shows a civilization in which being normal is the only life style that people can live. Beauty is not beauty in this story; in fact it is the complete opposite. Can someone reach their full potential without feeling good about themselves? Is it possible to live life in a world like this? Potential, freedom, and beauty are all abominations in the society of “Harrison Bergeron” by Kurt Vonnegut Jr., but they are all but abolished in this generation of “normal people” where being unique is deemed as illegal. No one is better, everyone is worse. But in a world where the extraordinary is outlawed, only the outlaws are extraordinary.…

    In the short story by “Harrison Bergeron” by Kurt Vonnegut, the world is all equal. The government has tried to make everything including seasons equal. Some people of a higher intelligence have to wear handicaps, devices that make the people unable to process more complex thoughts, along with anyone above the average attractiveness. George has to wear handicaps because he is above the average intelligence while Hazel does not due to her only having average intelligence. Kurt Vonnegut kills Harrison Bergeron to show the hopelessness in a society that is completely controlled by the government.…

    Dreaming a perfect society seemed unrealistic. When I was young, I dream my perfect society as a place with my family, toys, food, and happiness, really as a child I don't think deeply about human rights, money, and shelter. At that time my perfect life was simple and easy. Happiness was my definition for a perfect society. In the story “Harrison Bergeron” the definition of a perfect society was robot because in my opinion their goal was trying to make everyone the same, not equal but same, like a robot. When the story start off with “The year was 2081, and everybody was finally equal," sounded good and nice because as a reader I automatically think the equal as human rights equality, but then the following sentence became a little weird. “They weren't only equal before God and the law. They were equal in every which way." It sounded WRONG! Being “equal in every which way” isn’t what I am thinking of as a human. Having to be equal on every side of us is a terrifying idea. Because what I imagined was a world with one color, colorless. As a person who loves art, just by thinking about the idea of having everything the same way was not cool. Children loses the fun in their childhood because everything has to be in a certain order, it looks like that they still have freedom, but really their brain is being controlled they cannot express their idea or opinion freely because their idea might be considered as better than the other kids. The story, “Harrison Bergeron” had a perfect society that in my opinion totally defeat the purpose of a perfect or equal society that most people dream of. The government did not consider the emotional and creative part of people. They shape people into a strict, hard receptacle that turn people dull. For this reason they created a boring place to be in, losing the fun and meaning to live, when “nobody was…

    Throughout history a constant loop has appeared over and over again, a battle that is never won but is put to side and forgotten until it chooses to veer it ugly yet attractive head. This battle is the battle of equality to have happened to everyone who fights to reach an imaginary standard of equality. Equality is never defined and never can be because what equality is to a person is always different. Equality could be where white and black people are held at the same pedestal as if there was no difference in skin color or it could be what was achieved in Kurt Vonnegut’s short story “Harrison Bergeron” where everybody is utterly equal from intelligence to talents and skills to even the physical appearance of all. Without a true definition to equality it leaves questions yet to be answered; What role should government play in achieving equality, what could the author of the “Harrison Bergeron” to show about today’s society by writing of a society that achieved total equality and etc., but lets look at the two mentioned questions.…
