Harrison Bergeron By Kurt Vonnegut, Jr.

Harrison Bergeron is a fictional story written by Kurt Vonnegut, Jr, explains what a society would look like if it was at its worst-case scenario. Every citizen weighs the same, looks the same, and even performs the same as everybody else. In the story, two characters, George and Hazel, are sitting the living room watching tv, when suddenly a breaking news come on the screen. A rebel within the society threatens to take over the city and rid of the pain. The rebel gets shot and killed, leaving the society as it was before. With everybody weighing the same, looking the same, and being the same height, this dystopian world would a terrible place to live in.
To make everyone weigh the same, they weights on their feet, arms, shoulder, and waste.

Doing this would cause a lot of pain, aching, and slowness. Beautiful faces in the city are covered by ugly masks, hiding their true selves. True beauty and elegance would soon be forgotten by everyone. George in Harrison Bergeron wears a mental handicap, which makes him only think about certain things. It would shock him or make a loud, ear-splitting noise in his head. The handicap would brainwash George later on.
It would be horrible to have such things happen. In the story, Harrison Bergeron, the rebel, blasts in the studio and finds the real nature of the ballerinas. He shows the real ballerinas inside of them and not what the society wants them to show. Everybody should be themselves, even if they get criticized for it. “Last of all he removed her mask. She was blindingly beautiful.” this shows Harrison revealing others true beings.
In a dystopian world, everyone would be expected to do what society wants them to do. Not what would they want to do. It would be a much nicer place if everyone weighed differently, looked differently, and had their own height and structure. Everybody’s opinion should be respected and valued, as well as their appearance and talent.
