Benjelloun, Zakary Mrs. Salas English II Pre-AP, Pd.2 20 October 2014 Depiction Of The Flaws In “Harrison Bergeron,” Kurt Vonnegut Jr., the author, portrays society as a flawed system where people are reprimanded for their strengths. The government thinks that conformity is the answer to equality, but in reality it only makes matters worse. Limiting potential only hurts the growth of a certain society because making everyone equal will not generate the hardship required for a society to seek a…

In the story “Harrison Bergeron” the year is 2081. Everyone is finally equal and at peace, but one person by the name of Harrison Bergeron becomes a threat to that peace. Being a threat to that peace he is considered a danger to society. Harrison is considered a danger to society not a hero because he is ruining the peace and equality everyone has finally achieved. The first piece of evidence that shows Harrison Bergeron is a danger not a hero to society is that when he came upon the stage he…

responsible for every action to take in a society called school. Although there were no rules, I tried to make a more appropriate decision which reflects on my own ethics so that I do not have the wrong idea of freedom. I have also read a story "Harrison Bergeron" by Kurt Vonnegut in English class and it made me think what true equality is. Though everyone was made equal by law in the story, no one seemed to be happy as the meaning of equality here was to treat anyone the same, resulting in an…

society. What would it be like to be held back from your full potential? We as people love to express our thoughts and be individuals, so when these things are taken from us we feel caged. An example of this in literacy is found in the short stories, “Harrison Bergeron” by Kurt Vonnegut and “The Lottery” by Shirley Jackson. In these stories, we see that blind obedience can lead to the loss of morals and faith. In Vonnegut’s…

We chose Frank Sinatra for this project because he was arguably the twentieth century’s greatest singer of popular song. He also acted in some of the popular movies of the 50s and 60s. He was a one of a kind man, simultaneously a ladies’ man and a man’s man. Women wanted to be with him and men wanted to be him. After all, he had a total of four wives in his lifetime, and if he did not die in 1998 he probably would have remarried again. Sinatra became famous singing in a band called the Rat Pack.…

“I don’t know. I’m making this up as I go” said by Indiana Jones, perfectly describes how Steven Spielberg wanted the movie to be charismatic, charming, and funny as he admitted that this was, “the first movie where I actually shot the movie without thinking.” From native tribes and snakes to Nazis, it seems Indiana Jones can’t keep himself out of trouble when it comes to searching for lost treasure. That being said, his adventures are a roller coaster with twists and turns that you would least…
