The fact that Harrison was very smart since he had a lot of handicaps and wanted to revolt and go against the government for controlling them.

It was also weird that this was the societies "norm" and they thought that stuff like this was regular.]]> 2021-01-22 15:45:12 UTC https://padlet.com/jessicakurtz/sypf58j9j1eeicjf/wish/1114552635 Amaya Aneke https://padlet.com/jessicakurtz/sypf58j9j1eeicjf/wish/1114552912 I thought that it was unfair that people were forced to be dumbed down because they had above average intelligence.

I think that the author is conveying how equality can be helpful but there should be a balance of equality and individuality. ]]> 2021-01-22 15:45:25 UTC https://padlet.com/jessicakurtz/sypf58j9j1eeicjf/wish/1114553789 Rayna Trim raynatrim https://padlet.com/jessicakurtz/sypf58j9j1eeicjf/wish/1114554326 This short story was real intre
