Unknown Story
Kuvakäsikirjoitus Teksti
- In the not-so-near future, three new amendments were added to the constitution to ensure everyone would be treated equally. People would wear handicaps so no one felt inferior or superior.
- Harrison, the 14-year-old son of Hazel and George Bergeron was taken away from his parents because he had above-average intelligence, strength, looks, and athleticism. The government was afraid he would take over and allow people to live freely again.
- One day, George and Hazel Bergeron were sitting at home watching a Ballet show on the tv. Occasionally, George and a few of the ballerinas would hear a loud noise in their handicap devices, causing them to flinch or grab their heads in pain.
- In his story Harrison Bergeron, Kurt Vonnegut makes the point that people should be allowed to show their individuality. He does this by showing how monotone, and possibly cruel, the world would be if everyone was forced to be completely and utterly average.
- During the performance, Harrison burst onto the stage, telling one of the ballerinas to take off her handicaps and dance with him. He wanted the ballerina to show what she could really do, without all of the handicaps
