They talk about how he is so strong that they had to invent new handicaps just for him. This led him to question why he had been handicapped and the amazing thing he could accomplish if he had not been handicapped. Also, his mother and father are a lot lower in abiliary than him, so he probably realized that he was different through that also.

Then as the story progresses. Harrison escapes from jail and reveals on television that he as no handicaps by taking them off him.

Because they said that no one has bigger handicap bags than Harrison. So you would suspect that he is huge. Also, it said that he was wearing a mask, and had a thing in his ear to keep him from thinking. So he must have been smarter than normal, and better looking too.

As the character is starting to be introduced you know that he must be big and and strong because right before he enters the room, there is an earthquake like sound and his father says that it must be Harrison. When you meet the character himself, the story describes him as seven feet tall and wearing enormous handicappes. Harrison begins talking and when he does, he sounds to be angry and a bit corrupt because he says how he will be a better ruler than anyone else who tries. You only really know the character and what he's like briefly, because shortly after he is shot and killed. ]]> 2016-10-06 15:55:37 UTC https://padlet.com/ajmalach/i5r33w6yvyc6/wish/128871417 Ava Taylo https://padlet.com/ajmalach/i5r33w6yvyc6/wish/128882328 Harrison Bergeron is obviously somewhat ahead of the rest of his society. I can tell this because towards the beginning of the story, we are told that he is punished and even sent to jail because of his "advanced" qualities. He is forced to wear and use handicapps, which supposedly makes everyone equal. His physical qualities and personality traits are ruined by handicapps, and therefore he tries to overthrow the government. If he wasn't the more talented character in the first place, he never would have felt the need to take over.]]> 2016-10-06 16:21:11 UTC https://padlet.com/ajmalach/i5r33w6yvyc6/wish/128882328 Elle Shearon https://padlet.com/ajmalach/i5r33w6yvyc6/wish/129384088 Harrison in the end, had a physical description of "...Harrison looked like a walking junkyard."(page 302) As for personality, it seemed that he really wanted people to be different, and have their own specialties. He also seemed a bit controlling, the way he flung the musicians around and demanded someone be his "empress" but that aside, he just wanted the best for where he lived. The development didn't have much besides when he shed his handicaps, and became a "...man that would have awed Thor, the god of thunder," (page 303).

Physically he was described as a man that could awe Thor. His personality showed a lot of confidence. In the story as he talks on TV he decelares "crippled, hobbled, sickened - I am a greater ruler than any man who ever lived!" (Pg. 303) Saying this on TV for the entire world to see and hear takes a lot of guts and on top of all that he throws his handicaps off and the handicaps of some others. I think the amount of handicaps and what the handicaps were for developed an image in the reader's head of how talented and fortunate he was.]]> 2016-10-10 16:47:22 UTC https://padlet.com/ajmalach/i5r33w6yvyc6/wish/129571092 Audrey Ng https://padlet.com/ajmalach/i5r33w6yvyc6/wish/130260067 Harrison's physical qualities and personality traits are developed by the author's description of his heavy handicaps and the boldness of his actions on live television. The author states, "The rest of Harrison's appearance was Halloween and hardware. Nobody had ever borne heavier handicaps." (Pg. 302) While these sentences do not directly describe Harrison as strong and attractive, it can be inferred, because he has been assigned massive handicaps to offset his strength, talent, and good looks. On pages 303 and 304, the author explains how Harrison removes his handicaps and begins dancing with one of the ballerinas. His fearlessness and rebelliousness is illustrated in these pages because he is willing to completely disobey society's rules in front of the world.]]> 2016-10-12 19:30:12 UTC https://padlet.com/ajmalach/i5r33w6yvyc6/wish/130260067 Annie Johanning https://padlet.com/ajmalach/i5r33w6yvyc6/wish/130298686 Harrison physical qualities and personality traits are developed throughout the story by his actions and how he was described and compared to other characters. The author described Harrison as "a genius and an athlete" (Pg. 302) and "He was exactly seven feet tall." (Pg. 302) The author also described him as very good looking, as well. Because of all these traits, he was perceived as dangerous which is why he had many handicaps. You could tell he was very different from other people by the way he was described compared to the others. His dad was only described as a man with above average intelligence. If he was more like Harrison, he would have been described more like him. His personality traits developed in the part where he danced with the ballerinas. It showed how he removed his numerous handicaps and then began dancing with the ballerina. Harrison's actions showed how he is strong, rebellious, courageous, yet impulsive. "Harrison tore of his handicap harness like wet tissue paper," (Pg. 303)]]> 2016-10-12 23:48:41 UTC https://padlet.com/ajmalach/i5r33w6yvyc6/wish/130298686 Lily Ready https://padlet.com/ajmalach/i5r33w6yvyc6/wish/130505382 Harrison is a character written to such extremes that he is both unrelatable and a symbol of hope. It is stated multiple times that Harrison is 14, however through out  it all he talks and acts much older than he is stated to be. On page 303, Harrison Bergeron says stuff like "I am a greater ruler than any man who ever lived!" and "Let the first woman who dares rise to her feet claim her mate and her throne!", this shows clearly that while Harrison is 14 years old his mind is far more developed, along with the rest of him. His strength, intelligence, and looks are considered to be so advanced that his is jailed and given handicaps rather than just given handicaps and sent back out into the world. He seems aggressive as well, but in a well-meaning way. Like how he picked up the musicians to direct them correctly before slamming them back down.]]> 2016-10-13 16:21:05 UTC https://padlet.com/ajmalach/i5r33w6yvyc6/wish/130505382 Jia Han https://padlet.com/ajmalach/i5r33w6yvyc6/wish/130873720 Harrison Bergeron was physically described as a 14 year old who was "so amazing" that he wore more restraints than anyone else in the dystopian society.He wore headphones instead of earpieces to lower his intelligence, he wore glasses to make him blind an to give him headaches, and he wore so many restraints that he "resembled a walking junkyard." Yet even with these restraints, Harrison still broke free in the end. His personality could be inferred as strong and rebellious. Living in the dystopian society, Harrison broke free of his assigned restraints and went on live television to show how unhappy he is and how unfair the society is.]]> 2016-10-14 20:06:24 UTC https://padlet.com/ajmalach/i5r33w6yvyc6/wish/130873720 Keagan Thompson  https://padlet.com/ajmalach/i5r33w6yvyc6/wish/130877875 Harrison Bergeron was described as a 14 year old boy, both physically and mentally "amazing". He was known for his rebellious ways, and brigand-like skills. He was roughly seven foot tall, (really tall), and was so big he carried the most restraints out of anyone, and still was unbridled. He was described in the story as a walking junkyard. He even thought of himself, as an Emperor, who took for him self a wife, and remained powerful until his last breath, when he and his "wife" were shot by the Handicapper  ]]> 2016-10-14 20:35:24 UTC https://padlet.com/ajmalach/i5r33w6yvyc6/wish/130877875 Mandy Leander https://padlet.com/ajmalach/i5r33w6yvyc6/wish/130893472 On page 302, Harrison is described as a genius and an athlete and is said to be under-handicapped. When the handicaps used on him were described later, it is easy to see that handicaps were already used to the extreme. It is also stated that he was being held in prison because he was held on suspicion for plotting to overthrow the government, which shows us that (if this suspicion was true, it probably is based on the events that follow) he was probably quite confident in his abilities and knew that he was strong. When he breaks into the studio where the ballerinas are, he acts extremely aggressive and is quite direct. This can be seen when he bellows and when he slams the musicians back into their chairs after fiercely telling them how to play. He remains this way until he is shot by the Handicapper General. ]]> 2016-10-15 03:29:42 UTC https://padlet.com/ajmalach/i5r33w6yvyc6/wish/130893472 Brianna Woods https://padlet.com/ajmalach/i5r33w6yvyc6/wish/130937374 Harrison Bergeron is first said to be a 14 year old boy who is described as an athlete and a genius. He's a also said to be handsome, which is part of the handicaps that he's given. He has many handicaps, due to his goo looks and also due to the fact that he's humongous. He stands at 7 feet and has the biggest physical handicaps ever. As Harrison appears in the story we keep seeing examples of his strength, when he rips off his handicaps, and size, when he places his hands on the ballerina. ]]> 2016-10-15 21:12:55 UTC https://padlet.com/ajmalach/i5r33w6yvyc6/wish/130937374 Rachel Meade https://padlet.com/ajmalach/i5r33w6yvyc6/wish/130940806  Harrison Bergeron is initially introduced as 14 year old boy who is an athlete and genius. On page 302, Harrison is described as wearing 300 pound handicaps, brining the reader to the conclusion Harrison is very strong. Harrison is also described as very handsome due to the ugly handicaps he must wear to hide his charming looks. Finally, physically, Harrison is very tall, standing seven feet high. Personality wise Harrison is very confident. This is developed as he tears of his chains and stands tall in front of all those in the room and the audience watching TV. Harrison is also a rebel to the government, but to us the only person who knows what is right. This is obvious because he knows people should not be handicapped from their gifts (as the government suggests) but free to express themselves. ]]> 2016-10-15 23:11:50 UTC https://padlet.com/ajmalach/i5r33w6yvyc6/wish/130940806 Chloe Atencio atencioce https://padlet.com/ajmalach/i5r33w6yvyc6/wish/130941190 Harrison Bergeron is taken from his family as a child, and then introduced to the story at age 14, where he is shown as a genius and an athlete, and is considered under-handicapped(page 302). He was given multiple handicaps that are very harsh compared to what other people are given, because he was given unfair qualities, that others may want. Some other qualities are that he is very strong and intelligent, and he desires to overthrow the government, but the handicapper general ends up killing him and his empress.]]> 2016-10-15 23:26:19 UTC https://padlet.com/ajmalach/i5r33w6yvyc6/wish/130941190 Sophie Mickus https://padlet.com/ajmalach/i5r33w6yvyc6/wish/130942124 Harrison Bergeron, the son of Hazel and George, is 14 years old, athletic, smart, and handsome. In this futuristic society, he is given handicaps, such as 300 pounds of metal, to equalize him with those around him, which he believes are unnecessary. His personality can be seen when he is arrested for trying to overthrow the government forcing him to wear handicaps such as metal to balance strength and blurry spectacles to balance vision. His personality is rebellious yet persistent and determined because he dies in order to prove a point that handicaps only hold someone down. He is described on page 302 as wearing "a tremendous pair of earphones, and spectacles with thick wavy lenses". The character is developed through being described from a 3rd person, as it is being reported that he has escaped from prison. ]]> 2016-10-16 00:10:04 UTC https://padlet.com/ajmalach/i5r33w6yvyc6/wish/130942124 Sebastian Palczynski https://padlet.com/ajmalach/i5r33w6yvyc6/wish/130979564 Harrison Bergeron is described as an athlete and a genius on page 302 and, is the son of Hazel and George. In the year 2081 everyone is known to be equal and to keep this equality in place people in this futuristic society are forced to wear handicaps, which are metal devices that take away the competitive nature from each individual by balancing each persons physical ability to be the same. Harrison Bergeron is thrown in prison for rebelling against the government and the handicap system, at age 14 he breaks out from prison and almost immediately finds a way to rebel against the government by breaking into a local TV station. Here he is described from a 3rd person view. Harrison's rebellious personality is shown through physical activity at the end of the story when he rebels to prove point and gets shot and killed. ]]> 2016-10-16 16:28:04 UTC https://padlet.com/ajmalach/i5r33w6yvyc6/wish/130979564 Sydney Becker https://padlet.com/ajmalach/i5r33w6yvyc6/wish/130988284 The character Harrison Bergeron's physical qualities and personal traits are developed by his actions towards his community and how the other characters portray him. Being taken from his family when he was a young boy from wanting to over through the government, he was nothing like the rest of the people. He was 7 feet tall, handsome, and extremely smart (pg.302) He wore multiple handicaps in order to balance himself out to the rest of the society. The handicaps and the actions he took in order to prove that they are useless and only are there to not allow someone from being them self,  shows many things about him. That includes his rebellious behavior. That specific behavior is shown on pages 303 and 304, when he was killed from trying to show his world that you can be happy and yourself without the government and their terrible handicaps. ]]> 2016-10-16 18:33:27 UTC https://padlet.com/ajmalach/i5r33w6yvyc6/wish/130988284 Emalee Halliday https://padlet.com/ajmalach/i5r33w6yvyc6/wish/130996564 Harrison Bergeron is athletic, good looking, and very smart from what it says on page 302 in the story. On page 302 it also says that he is 7 feet tall at the age of 14. So because all these amazing things he has to have a huge handicap. Which is why he has to wear glasses that make his vision less, and he has to wear huge headphones that make a loud noise in his ears. These handicaps help balance his abilities to the rest of the people in society. Probably because he is the most gifted of all the people he wants to show everyone that their handicaps are dumb. And he wants to overthrow the government to show this. So he goes to great lengths to show people this,(breaking out of jail) and for a little bit he shows people the truth. ]]> 2016-10-16 20:28:53 UTC https://padlet.com/ajmalach/i5r33w6yvyc6/wish/130996564 Sarah Mitchell  https://padlet.com/ajmalach/i5r33w6yvyc6/wish/130998702 The character Harrison Bergeron, was described as a genius, with athletic ability standing at exactly 7 feet tall on page 302. He was a under handicapped 14 year old indivudual who should be regarded as extremely dangerous. In this society of 2081, he is given handicaps to try to make him as equal to the others as possible. Not only was Harrison ahead of his society he was planning to overthrow the government. You can tell that he holds strong opinions and takes initiative to do what he sets out to do. Harrisons physical qualities and personality are both developed through his actions towards others, and also how others talk and perceive him and his actions. Harrison will go to great measures to do what he thinks is right and this is shown through his actions and words.

He is said to have escaped prison where he was put for planning to overthrow the government. Because of all these things, Harrison is extensively handicapped. As the story progresses, the image of Harrison changes. At first, he is supposed to be seen as a criminal, a monster, and a villain. Later on pages 303 and 304, Harrison becomes more of an enraged vigilante, who still has a soft side. This is seen when he calls himself the emperor, when he removes his handicaps, and dances with the ballerina. Physically, he goes from beaten down to free and expressive. Personality wise, he goes from being selfish and enraged, to more concerned.]]> 2016-10-16 22:41:57 UTC https://padlet.com/ajmalach/i5r33w6yvyc6/wish/131005226 Audrey Petersen https://padlet.com/ajmalach/i5r33w6yvyc6/wish/131008011 The first thing that the story says about Harrison, on page 299, there is a brief mention about Hazel and George's son Harrison being taken away. The boy isn't really described, but it's just an establishment of connection from the maid character and Harrison Bergeron. From this point on, this boy is described in more detail, creating an image and a character for him. On page 302, the reporter on the TV  gives the boys name, age, and that Harrison has escaped from jail and is suspected to be plotting to overthrow the government. They warn people to avoid him and stay away. The story gives some brief information about the boy, his appearance, and from a point of view that he his a criminal and very dangerous. Then, on page 303, it says "revealed a man that would have awed Thor, the god of thunder." This gives us a better image of how strong he is. In this page, it also describes how he takes the handicaps off of a dancer and the musicians. We, in our society, begin to realize that his character is good, and he realizes the unfairness by making everyone equal. He is killed in the end, which he probably knew would eventually happen, so this even better demonstrates his dedication. ]]> 2016-10-16 23:18:04 UTC https://padlet.com/ajmalach/i5r33w6yvyc6/wish/131008011 Grayson Northrip https://padlet.com/ajmalach/i5r33w6yvyc6/wish/131008103 2016-10-16 23:19:25 UTC https://padlet.com/ajmalach/i5r33w6yvyc6/wish/131008103 Ushmi Akruwala  (P6) https://padlet.com/ajmalach/i5r33w6yvyc6/wish/131014479 Harrison is mentioned for the first time on page 300 where George remembers his 'abnormal' son being taken away.

The news report describes him as a massive genius and athlete standing at seven feet (302). Harrison even mentions he is a better ruler than any who has ever lived even with his handicaps (303). The author develops the character with his actions and the language he is described with. For example, when Harrison broke down the walls he caused an earthquake or when he took off his handicaps he was compared to Thor, even when he ordered for music he commanded it (302-303). ]]> 2016-10-17 05:07:25 UTC https://padlet.com/ajmalach/i5r33w6yvyc6/wish/131036918 Joe Milone https://padlet.com/ajmalach/i5r33w6yvyc6/wish/131320049 The story first states that Harrison was taken away from his parents in April because of the fact that he had a physical and intellectual advantage against everyone else (299).

It states that he was seven feet tall at fourteen and was an incredible athlete. He wore metal plates instead of sacks of lead due to his strength, they put caps on his teeth and shaved his eyebrows because of how good-looking he was.

In page 302, Harrison was talked about on tv where they discribed him as a genius and an athlete, and that he was under-handicapped. He was regarded as dangerous. Then it goes into detail; he was 7 feet tall. He had heavier handicaps than anyone, and he was required to keep his eyebrows shaved off, plus a lot more to offset his good looks and strength. His rebellious personality is shown through him getting killed after he tried to show everyone that the handicaps are useless and all they do is that they don't allow you to be yourself. He pronounces himself emperor and he got rid of all his handicaps; which got him killed by the government.]]> 2016-10-18 00:04:19 UTC https://padlet.com/ajmalach/i5r33w6yvyc6/wish/131331133 Matthew Stafford https://padlet.com/ajmalach/i5r33w6yvyc6/wish/131333447 The first you thing you hear about the 14 year old Harrison is that he was hauled of to jail.

He is a an under handicapped 14 year old who is known or marked as dangerous, as he escaped prison, planning to overthrow the government. In the year 2081, the society Is built so everyone is equal there fore people are given a handicap. Although Harrison is known for being dangerous, on pages 303 and 304 he appears to have a softer side. The softer side is more presented when Harrison names himself "The Emperor", gets rid of his handicap, and dances with the ballerina. Harrison goes from a physically drained almost person to very original and free. Looking at personality however, Harrison goes from being very selfish to a more public figure almost and someone that people would look towards. ]]> 2016-10-18 03:18:10 UTC https://padlet.com/ajmalach/i5r33w6yvyc6/wish/131354549
