The Untouchable

Kurt Vonnegut expresses to his audience the dangers of an equal society and how the government is in complete control of its people through his characters, plot, and symbolism in the short story Harrison Bergeron.

of heels I had fallen in love with so long ago. As a stared at it, I realized the heels looked smaller then I remembered. I realized the shoes were less fragile then I remembered. It seemed that over the years they had transformed from something untouchable and unreal in my mind into something tangible. Something that I could possibly wear to my seventh grade dance. Once at the school dance, I ended up taking the shoes off halfway through because of the blisters I had developed from wearing…

The ignominy in today’s society remains enthralling, emotions such as fear, envy, prejudice, and affection motivate one to shun others. In consequence of one’s reckless actions the public expresses their odium through shunning; the shunning may cause a positive or negative influence on the individual.

Thirty minutes of play of Zhang Yimou’s “Hero,” I watched two characters, Flying Snow with Moon, hanging blade to blade as if through mystical powers surrounded with spinning colorful leaves. This incredibly lovely scene, decorated in untainted color, shot like a fantasy poetry, and dramatized like angels’ dance, it is unbelievable to be a fight. It is more similar to a swordplay pleasure (Harrison 570). This is the loveliest scene ever filmed and among the spectacles that the film…

“deal with the devil”: he assisted the British roundup Indians to fight in WWI (Lelyveld para 7). Even his most avid followers were bewildered by his so-called “commitment” to nonviolence.
