I chose to pick Harrison Bergeron because it sound so thrilling after reading a couple of lines. The story takes place to year 2081 when everybody is finally equal. Not only before God and law but also in every way. Harrison Bergerons father George and mom Hazel are starring on leading roles in this story.
In that time people were made equal by putting some obstacles to intelligent people. One of them was putting handicap radio on their heads which would send sharp noise to their ears and scatter their thoughts. Second was Handicap bag which was filled with forty-seven pounds of lead and hanged to peoples neck.
Handicapper General was the one who invented the items which would equalize people. In story Hazel thinks that she would be great handicapper general. She would transmit only chimes on Sunday, nothing more and just on Sundays to honor the religion.
Harrison is the main bad guy in this story. He was taken from his parents and put in to jail.He had to escape from jail to commit one last thing. He resembles people about the time when they weren’t so equal. He wants to be the emperor and also he commands everyone to do just like he says. Harrison snaps out of all his handicaps on live television and gets shot to death whilst his mother was watching it on TV.
In the story Hazel and George different from each other by that Hazel is perfectly average intelligence while George’s intelligence is way above normal, so only George must use those handicap items. That highlights the theme of the story about what is normal and what isn’t.
In my opinion I think that Harrison was already full of this world and also full of picking out that equality. He didn’t want to be the same as everyone else. He wanted to be more. Even thought he died in the end doesn’t mean that he wasn’t happy. I think that he died at doing something what he wanted and that’s how we are all supposed to pass away.
