Questions From Page 27 "Harrison Bergeron"

2. Harrison's rebellion reveals he's really intelligent because he managed to escape from jail and got rid of all the mental handicaps he had, because according to the story he had more mental handicaps that anyone else since he had huge headphones and thick spectacles that made him half-blind and shook him very often and he was considered as extremely dangerous due to his supernatural intelligence. It also reveals that he's very big and that he has an extraordinary strength because he broke all the junk handicaps that covered his body to make him less graceful as well as the mental handicaps, the earth trembled just because of his steps. It also reveals that he's a boy that believes in freedom and that wants to change that fool government with his actions motivating others to be the way they want, as how happened with the musicians. He's also kind of agressive because of his rude behaviour.

3. I feel sorry for them because they don't have idea of what happened because the government has washed up their minds and they really don't know what happens to Harrison due to Hazel's little intelligence and George's buzzes that didn't allow him to think. I also feel sorry for them because they will still be living thinking their son is alived when he is already dead and he was killed brutally.

5. Vonnegut may be trying to explain that it's inhuman to try to make all people equal because everybody is different and that's what makes special human race, the different abilities each has like strenghth, ability to dance, etc. It may also be trying to explain that sometimes governments harm other people (hidding it, and making it pass as good) to achive personal interestings. I think Vonnegut may be criticizing governments as the Cuban or Russian indirectly. It shows how technology can also be used to harm and to destroy societies.
