Some similarities between the stories are both stories have a young boy as the main character who dies after not following the rules. These stories also have a similar plot: both characters are trapped in prison and escape, when they don't follow the rules they are killed. This is how both stories plots are the same and different.

Kurt Vonnegut Jr. wrote a futuristic story, ¨Harrison Bergeron¨, the characters are all ¨Equal every which way.¨ The year was 2081 and everybody in the Utopia claimed to be equal with one another. If you were above average in intelligence you were forced by the handicapped general to wear an earpiece to stop your train of thought, if you were athletic they would put weights on you so you can’t perform your best.
