Saving Society
Tumultuously, Diana Moon Glampers burst into the auditorium. As she irately evaluated the room, her eyes met Harrison’s. The look of pure defiance that was revealed through Harrison’s eyes enraged her. “Stop the music,” she demanded fiercely. Their music remained audible. “Now,” Diana persisted, her face swiftly evolving into a scarlet red tint. They still refused to stop playing. A mixture of anger and stress brewed inside of her; she could not bare to see all of these once loyal denizens now ignoring her paramount power. Without hesitation, Diana seized the gun in the loop of her belt, and began firing aggressively towards Harrison. Through all the commotion, she witnessed the ineffably abrupt change in her citizen’s emotions. Peaceful and

What was I saying again?” “Nothing, George,” Hazel nervously replied. “Let’s just watch the dance.”
With all of his handicaps no longer holding him back, Harrison sprinted through the narrow streets and towering buildings. Even with all his strength and power, the buildings still intimidated him. They hovered over him, inching their way closer, trapping him. Harrison’s running slowed down, and his breath transitioned to a faster wheeze. Overwhelmed, he fell to the ground, staring directly down at his ginormous hands. No, he thought. No, no, no. He took a deep, calming breath, and resiliently continued to run, gaining speed with every stride.
After approximately a half an hour of running, Harrison finally arrived at his destination: the Handicapper-General control center. It was smaller than he had pictured it, built with light gray bricks and little to no windows. He didn’t know what to do at this point; without his handicaps on, he felt too conspicuous. It was vital that he devise a way to infiltrate the building without being detected. Suddenly, he formulated a plan. He remembered how he leapt so high while dancing with the ballerina, so he decided to attempt that

    Nobody really knows who Harrison is, not even his own mother and father. Before Harrison even enters the newsroom they are telling everyone to stay away from him, that he was, “‘regarded as extremely dangerous’” (Vonnegut 3). Then once he did enter the newsroom everyone was terrified of him. After the general came into the newsroom and eliminated Harrison and the other dancer Harrison’s own mother and father completely forgot what just took place on the screen within seconds.…

    I saw Sheila Brown today. She continued to exhibit paranoia and delusion. Despite her acknowledgement of ‘feeling slightly out of whack’, she was adamant that her suspicion on both of your intentions and manners were real and unrelated to her psychotic symptom. She was specifically fixated on Kimberly’s ways of talking. What concern me the most is her statement about not being hesitate to fight if anyone, including the staff, continues to disrespect her.…

    When Harrison is freeing himself from his shackles it shows up that the power of the government could not even hold him down that power doesn't really men anything as long as you put your mind to what you want they can’t stop you. 8.The simile the narrator used to describe harrison and the ballerina when they were dancing was¨ They leaped like deer on the mood” when he says that it means that it looks like they are just floating around and dancing back and forth like there want any problem. 9.Harrison's parents aren't emotionally impacted by his death because one his dad had seen everything but he does not remember anything because he is “handicapped” and he has that shock that messes with his memory, and his mother does not get to see anything so she has no idea that he even died.…

    Hi Rudin, Thanks for letting me know of your upcoming run-through. No I'm not sick and tired at all, I am excited for you (tired maybe lol). If I would live closer I wouldn't have to think about it at all, even with the Rose Bowl on at the same time. I am not surprised the maestro would not like to have anybody at the rehearsal, I was actually thinking of asking for myself, but I dismissed the thought for that reason, remember in London they didn't like it either. Thanks for willing to Skype, but under the circumstances, I will go to the Rose Bowl.…

    ( Vonnegut, 3). With the government treatment given to Harrison, giving him handicaps not ever known to man, it is easy to see why he wanted to escape. The government tried to contain the only thing that can exterminate the equality movement, yet he still realized his potential just like Equality did and tried to make a change. If the government corruptness wasn’t so strong, then the society would be a better place and wouldn’t be the current…

    Marie von Ebner-Eschenbach, once said “In youth, we learn; in age, we understand.” Youth is a time of learning and is most defined as the period after childhood and before adulthood. During youth, there are times of teamwork, but there are times to stand on one’s own self. Short stories send messages to the youth of growing into one’s true self through trials in life. Moreover, protagonists from young adult short stories demonstrate themes of individuality and acting on one’s own self through situations of opposition from others.…

    He was arrested for taking off his handicaps, and in the story, he escapes the prison to overthrow the government and try to free people of their handicaps.

Now watch me become what I can become!,”” (Vonnegut 4).

    Today I am going to talk, in very abridged form, a little bit about my experience of getting to know the amazing person who goes by the name of Cecilia Bernard, and what I have learned about her over the past three years of knowing her, which was both a fortunate and unfortunate event. Fortunate, obviously, because I got to meet her and see everything great about her. Unfortunate, though, as it took me as long as it did to meet her. What I first learned about her is that she was very open and inviting. I found this out on the way to New Orleans.…
