Kurt Vonnegut wrote Harrison Bergeron to make a comment on the "equality" in the communist states, and to show that we really need is equity not equality.

Kurt Vonnegut's goal in writing Harrison Bergeron, I believe, was to demonstrate the distinction between equality and equity and political satire.

I believe that Kurt Vonnegut wrote ''Harrison Bergeron'' so that he can show us how equal every individual is, and no ones lesser or greater then someone else. We're all the same.

1. Political satire: Mocking politics for entertainment purposes.

1. Political Satire Example: SNL (saturday night live) election skits

1. Harrison Bergeron is a political satire. It uses an exaggerated example of a “utopia” where everyone is equal to one another. This exaggeration helps to put emphasis on the passive mocking done in the story. This is considered political satire.

Political Satire: satire is a joke, so basically joking about political issues.

Example: SNL political skits.

Harrison Bergeron qualifies as political satire because it is showing us the ways that we can never have equality and it is a joke to believe that we can all be equal.

His purpose in writing this short story is to show how people have different strengths and qualities and forcing people to be equal to other wouldn't be fair.

# data[].attributes.body
I think the purpose of this short story is to show that equality should be put out to a certain extent. In this story equality was preventing people to surpass with their abilities and if we too took equality the way the story did we wouldn't live the way people think.

1. Political Satire:  A humorous way of depicting social issues

1. Example-- The Daily Show(Trevor Noah)

1. I do believe that Harrison Bergeron qualifies as political satire. It’s satire because he is showing social issues or beliefs that society wants to believe in equality, yet he is doing it in a bashful way towards the government and people. It’s humorous in a way because he is almost mocking the people for wanting to reach equality, and he is giving more examples of why this is so dumb because everyone would be the same.

Kurt Vonnegut may have written Harrison Bergeron to show that equality is how you act upon others, not change them. Giving everyone the abilities to grow rather then debilitating or "handicapping" them.

I think that Kurt Vonnegut wrote "Harrison Bergeron" because he wanted to show would it would be like if our society made everyone equal in all the same or similar way.

# data[].attributes.body
I believe Kurt wrote this short story to depict how an equal world would really be, and to demonstrate how it is impossible. The story shows that we can never really be equal, and no matter what people will always disagree. Even though an equal world would seem like a utopia, he shows how it can be quite the opposite, a dystopia.

I think that Kurt Vonnegut's purpose is to show that people need to take their talents and make them their own.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that Kurt Vonnegut wrote this short story because he wanted to shows what life would really be like if we tried to live in an equal society. The story conveys just how living in an equal society is nearly impossible and if we tried to do it, then there would be consequences such as handicaps.

# data[].attributes.body
I think Kurt Vonnegut wrote this story so that people can see that society is not always about being the same but just equal. In other words, we can all be treated the same but not be the same person as everyone else because the world would be selfish and without joy.

# data[].attributes.body
I believe the purpose of Kurt Vonnegut's writing Harrison Bergeron is to show us a world where everyone is "equal". This vision of an equal society ends up hindering the growth of others ironically making the society have a favoritism to those who are "average". The reality is, There will always end up being people who are better/worse. We all excel at different things, we should embrace that instead of coming to a mindset where everyone is the same. True equality will never be obtained but we can get close.

# data[].attributes.body
I believe the point in the story is to allow the reader to see what truly must happen and occur in order for everyone to be equal. To show that however you are born, whether it's strengths physically, or mentally, you would have to be limited in some way in order to match the people around you. In all, it just goes to show that true equality can not be obtained without prejudices.

# data[].attributes.body
I think he wanted to show what life would be like if we all really were equal, and how much it would affect our society. For instance those who were born better at something would have to be brought down and restricted to meet up with the rest. It shows how boring or unfair life would be if we all had the same skill level.

# data[].attributes.body
I think one of the reasons why he wrote this book was because he wanted us to visualize this world and show us how this would be going to far to be equal to each other.

# data[].attributes.body
I believe that this story was written to show how physical equality would be reached, to make strong people the same level as a person who wouldn't be as strong. What people in our reality is to be equal under the law and at the workplace (a man and a woman should be paid equally if they both have the same job position).

mabe his purpose  was to show us how i f they tried to make people all equal some are not gonna be able to be them self and not able to use the talent they have or their own intelligence.

The purpose of this theory is to treat everyone equality and not to treat someone different.

Kurt Vonnegut wrote "Harrison Bergeron" to tell his readers that a world full of people with the same intelligence, strength, skills, and talent would be melancholy and lifeless. He wanted to show his readers that what we have now (a diversity of people) makes like interesting and allows people to be unique and stand out from one another.
