Süžeeskeem Tekst
- All of a sudden, you look so tired. Why don't you stretch out on the sofa, so's you can rest your handicap bag on the pillows, honeybunch.
- I don't mind it. I don't notice it anymore. It's just a part of me.
- You been so tired lately-kind of wore out. If there was just some way we could make a little hole in the bottom of the bag, and just take out a few of them lead balls. Just a few.
- Two years in prison and two thousand dollars fine for every ball I took out. I don't call that a bargain.
- If you could just take a few out when you came home from work. I mean- you don't compete with anybody around here. You just sit around.
- If I tried to get away with it, then other people'd get away with it-and pretty soon we'd be right back to the dark ages again, with everybody competing against everybody else. You wouldn't like that, would you?
- I'd hate it.
- There you are. The minute people start cheating on laws, what do you think happens to society?
- Reckon it'd all fall apart.
- This part of Harrison Bergeron explains society in the story and why it is the way it is. Vonnegut is ridiculing how society wants to make us all the same and won't allow for creativity or different opinions. It also ridicules how strict society is and how it punishes us for the little things.
