The story Harrison Bergeron takes place in America, and in 2081. In the story Harrison Bergeron everybody is equally the same, no one is better looking, stronger, and smarter than everyone else. Also if your better looking, stronger, or smarter than everyone else you would have to wear these things called handicaps which kept you from being better than everyone else. This makes me think that equality isn’t always good.
First of all in the story Harrison Bergeron the government tortures the citizens for total equality. I think this because, on page 2/6 it George talks about his handicap and how it stops him from being smarter than everybody else. George and Hazel’s son Harrison has to wear a bunch of weights so he is weaker than everybody else.
