A bit of literal language as well. “Not only were the laws of the land abandoned, but the law of gravity and the laws of motion as well. They reeled, whirled, swiveled, flounced, capered, gamboled, and spun. They leaped like a deer on the moon.” (p.g 11) This evidence is important because it shows figurative language. Harrison and the ballerina didn’t actually abandon the laws of land, gravity, and motion. It’s more like they went against it and even if it was just for a second, won. They felt free and powerful. When the author wrote “reeled, whirled, swiveled, etc.” they meant that Harrison and the ballerina both were dancing as if it’d be their last dance, which it was. The quote I chose connects to my genre because it’s just one part of what language is in the story and what it actually means. ]]> 2020-11-18 03:45:17 UTC https://padlet.com/lauraro1/y9n60wloli3gee6w/wish/934907184 lauraro1 https://padlet.com/lauraro1/y9n60wloli3gee6w/wish/937768931 The story I chose and its characteristics represent my genre because as you go through the story, you’ll start to notice that even though the story already seems deep, there are small details that make the story deeper or more unsettling than it usually is. “If I tried to get away with it, then other people ‘ d get away with it- and pretty soon we’d be right back to the dark ages again, with everybody competing against everybody else.” This piece of evidence is important because this makes it seem like George, Hazel, and many others were manipulated by the government into thinking that their old society which they call “the dark ages” was dangerous and overall wrong because everybody was their own type of person instead of being the equal person who wasn’t better or worse than anyone else. The story made me think about if we were to be in the story, living in that world, just how many people would accept the law and how many people would rebel against it.]]> 2020-11-18 17:12:49 UTC https://padlet.com/lauraro1/y9n60wloli3gee6w/wish/937768931 lauraro1 https://padlet.com/lauraro1/y9n60wloli3gee6w/wish/937796704 The literary element that I chose is used throughout the story by showing the theme of taking the word “equality” wrongly. “They weren’t only equal before God and the law. They were equal in every way. Nobody was smarter than anybody else. Nobody was better looking than anybody else. Nobody was stronger or quicker than anybody else.” (p.g 1) This evidence is important because it’s basically like a mini summary of what the theme is about in this story. Harrison Bergeron is a story about living in a corrupted society that  took the word “equality” in a different way than people originally wanted and fighted for. This literary element adds to my genre because it’s used throughout the story in many obvious ways.]]> 2020-11-18 17:17:38 UTC https://padlet.com/lauraro1/y9n60wloli3gee6w/wish/937796704 lauraro1 https://padlet.com/lauraro1/y9n60wloli3gee6w/wish/937800429 2020-11-18 17:18:19 UTC https://padlet.com/lauraro1/y9n60wloli3gee6w/wish/937800429
