Being Equal Isn T Always Fair In Harrison Bergeron

This comment was made to give a description of why George had to wear a radio. When people weren’t equal they were forced to do baggage they didn’t want to. Why were they forced if everyone was

In modern America though, handicaps are members of society who have something physically or mentally wrong with them. This isn’t right, but carbon-based lifeforms won’t know if the authors were right until 2081. In the dystopian novel Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury, war is something that is not uncommon. It happens every night, with the planes just dropping bombs over and over and one more time.

This shows why the author killed Harrison because they didn't want him to get away with taking off his handicaps and challenging the system. Then if he did more people would do it and they would go back to the dark ages. This shows the cost of an equal society for citizens. Another example of a cost of an equal society is the handicaps Harrison has on. Harrison was apparently under handicapped according to the government.

“Harrison Bergeron” Kurt Vonnegut’s Dystopian story “Harrison Bergeron” takes place in the year 2081 in the United States. Everyone is forced to wear handicaps to slow down their physical and mental capabilities to be “equal” to everyone else. Harrison Bergeron is an exceptionally strong man that emerges in the middle of the story. He must wear multiple handicaps that deny him his ability to use his strength against the government. One theme that emerges from the story is that true equality is impossible to achieve, no matter how much pain a superior bring to others.

Harrison attempts to overthrow the rule of the government but he never has the chance at unseating the government because the laws are too powerful. " Harrison Bergeron" captures achieving equality, if we give up individuality and freedom, which are two things people fight to acquire. I believe freedom helps express our individuality as it is not worth giving up for total equality in the

They thought the confederate flag was banned because they found it offensive. because the government didn’t like it because they thought it was a rebel banner and didn’t want it to start anything with anyone else so they banned it so there was no problem with anyone else or anything else. Also because people want it to be back up because some people don’t like it down or banned. Another reason they outlawed the flag is because it wasn’t showing any respect for people that fought in a war and got no respect for people that died. Also, people want to have it down because there was starting to be fights about the discussion of the flag being banned or being back up.

To give one example of manipulation, Flannery O'Connor, Georgia State author of "A Good Man Is Hard to Find", writes that "You wouldn't shoot a lady, would you?"(421). The grandmother is trying to make the misfit vulnerable, even though he has already killed everyone but her. She's begging the misfit for her life. Every one of those people would still be alive if it was not for the grandmother. She did not have much hope left anyways for her life because she annoyed the misfit with her ugly and selfish ways.

This illustrates, in the novel citizens are punished for knowing and questioning about their knowledge in the past. This agrees with my claim because it shows the society has huge authority over their citizen. Now concluding this paragraph, let's rerun the key

Some deserve it because they non-repentance killers or to be serial killers while other should not deserve it because of the circumstances required them. Juveniles who killed people without any mercy should be treated as an adult and be given Juvenile Life Without Parole(JLWOP). For example, the murderer of Jennifer Jenkins’ pregnant sister and her husband. Jennifer describes, “[Jenkins’s Sister] begged for the life of her unborn child as [the killer] shot her. He reported to a friend, who testified at his trial, about his ‘thrill kill’ that he just wanted to ‘see what it would feel like to shoot someone’”(Jenkins).

in Harrison Bergeron they solve the problem of inequality by giving people handicaps. These would restrict people who were prettier, smarter, or stronger than average. They censored their knowledge and their thoughts specifically with a brain handicap that was "tuned to a government transmitter. Every twenty seconds or so, the transmitter would send out some sharp noise to keep [smart] people…from taking unfair advantage of their brains." (Vonnegut 1)

Johnny killed a guy in self defense thinking he would get the electric chair. While the socs beat up many greasers and almost killed one without even having to worry about any punishments. In 2012 something similar happened when a kid named Ethan Couch killed 4 people, violated 5 laws, and only ended up with 10 years probation and rehab at a vacation resort. When S.E. Hinton wrote The Outsiders, she understood that there are many inequalities under the law that severely affected lower class and upper class people. These inequalities are still around today, as shown by the Ethan Couch situation.

Gaskins preferred females, but he wouldn’t just victimize females, he also victimized males. In 1975, Gaskins found eighty boys and girls along the highways in North Carolina and killed them. Doreen Dempsey, a woman who thought of Donald Gaskins as a friend was leaving town and decided to get a ride from him. Gaskins drove her to a wooded area where he then raped and killed her. After killing her Gaskins proceeded to rape, sodomize and kill her two-year-old

The image of equality “Harrison Bergeron” is making everyone go to the most average, they can be by using handicaps to stop their natural abilities. “George, while his intelligence was way above normal, had a little mental handicap radio in his ear. He was required by law to wear it at all times. It was tuned to a government transmitter. Every twenty seconds or so, the transmitter would send out some sharp noise to keep people like George from taking unfair advantage of their brains.”

ISIS terrorists can swipe thousands of christians as little as 2 days. Christians are in need of the Marines for them to save them and take them to safety away from the terrorists. Christians will be burned alive, beat to death, treated like animals. The woman they could have them as slaves for themselves but as soon as they are done with them they will kill them. “ The woman ages 29 and 33, were raped before the crowed, summoned to watch, and then were beheaded.”
