For example, in "Harrison Bergeron" people are forced to wear heavy handicaps in order to be less strong or graceful than anyone else. In addition, intelligent people wear radio transmitters that broadcast excruciating sounds, so they can't think better than anyone else. The author is using this to show that striving for equality can be a bad thing if you take it too far.]]> 2016-10-16 01:35:17 UTC https://padlet.com/jennifer_wright3/56b3j7id93hp/wish/130943933 R.G. rgou1 https://padlet.com/jennifer_wright3/56b3j7id93hp/wish/131520779 equality 
The Arthur is trying to get at a point of using equality by saying that they are the way that they are because of the amendments that they can't be the way that they want because they have to follow the rules. ]]> 2016-10-18 15:43:09 UTC https://padlet.com/jennifer_wright3/56b3j7id93hp/wish/131520779 Equality jdav2 https://padlet.com/jennifer_wright3/56b3j7id93hp/wish/131520801 In "Harrison Bergeron" the author tries to explain that there are consequences to being too equal because according to the text it says"They were equal every which way. Nobody was smarter than anybody else. Nobody was better looking than anybody else. Nobody was stronger or quicker than anybody else. All this equality was due to the 211th, 212th, and 213th Amendments to the Constitution, and to the unceasing vigilance of agents of the United States Handicapper General." also it says that "mental handicap, he wore a tremendous pair of earphones, and spectacles with thick wavy lenses. The spectacles were intended to make him not only half blind, but to give him whanging headaches besides."]]> 2016-10-18 15:43:13 UTC https://padlet.com/jennifer_wright3/56b3j7id93hp/wish/131520801 Equality rdou1 https://padlet.com/jennifer_wright3/56b3j7id93hp/wish/131521151 Equality can sometimes be good and can sometime be bad.

In the text it said, "to keep people like George from taking unfair advantages of their minds." In the text it says, "his intelligence is a little to good so he must keep a small radio in his ear at all times."

For example, in "Harrison Bergeron" people are wearing weights and radio transmitters and bird shot bags. Everyone has different amounts of weights that is connected to a padlock on their necks. Another example is that in the story, Harrison labels himself as the emperor because he likes to take control. He finds a ballerina to be his emperess and together they showed the true meaning of dance. He makes sure she doesn't any weights on her so that they can dance how they want to. This shows that they wanted to be individual and individuality gives people a way to show their true meaning]]> 2016-10-18 15:44:24 UTC https://padlet.com/jennifer_wright3/56b3j7id93hp/wish/131521243 Lucas' deffinition https://padlet.com/jennifer_wright3/56b3j7id93hp/wish/131521333 The author us trying to teach us that equality isn't always the answer to problems, and that equality is not always good.]]> 2016-10-18 15:44:35 UTC https://padlet.com/jennifer_wright3/56b3j7id93hp/wish/131521333 Equality and indiviaduality smic1 https://padlet.com/jennifer_wright3/56b3j7id93hp/wish/131521439 In Harrison bergeron it tells about the people having to where handicaps (like weights, recevers that scramble thoughts, masks, fake teeth, and speticals that impair vision and cause head aches) and this shows equality is good but Harrison disagrees with equality and problaly has followers.
