I really enjoyed the story “Harrison Burgeron” that we read outside of class. It was basically telling how some people think the world should be. So many people now days demand equality and uniformity, but do they really know what they are asking for. If everyone were equal and the same than what would make anybody unique? Everyone has different characteristics, talents, and features so no one can truly be equal. If this were not true than this world would be boring and we would never accomplish anything. For example, if everyone were equal creatively then we would always look at the same art and read the same literature. How boring would that be? The story “Harrison Burgeron” takes this idea to the extreme. In my opinion he is being over dramatic in order to make fun of those who want equality and uniformity. He uses drastic examples to give the readers an idea of what some people in society want.
