"Harrison Bergeron" Answers

1) I absolutely disagree. After reading the story, it seems to me that when everybody is equal, the world is more darker than it is now. No one is allowed to dance ballet so gracefully, so that anyone who can't dance ballet won't feel envious. No one is allowed to look beautiful, so that anyone who aren't beautiful won't feel envious. There's a reason why a ballerina dances so gracefully and it's because they have talent. If they didn't have talent, they wouldn't be where they are. There's a reason why a person looks so beautiful and it's because they were born that way. You can't just change a way a person looks unless they want to. No one in this world is allowed to be better than anyone else, and that brings people down. We're supposed to be helping each other. In this world, no  one is successful. You can't achieve your goals if you can't go up and beyond. I, for one, would not enjoy my life at all.

2) My laws would be:

• Everyone in a same kind of house. Each house would be painted the same and designed the same. Just the numbers on the house was different. 
• Everyone would wear the same kind of clothes. They only could wear long pants, a T-shirt, a knitted sweater, a baseball cap, and a pair of old tennis shoes. 
• No one is allowed to wear make-up to look pretty. 
• Everyone has to have the same technology. Same computer brand, and cell phone brand. (No ipods)
• Everyone's education had to be the same. 
• No one was allowed to work out to make their bodies look perfect. 

3) I would ask for some volunteers of people to help these people learn and whatever they can to be the same as the rest of us.

4) I can see that not many people would like it. Many people would try to start a revolution like what Harrison wanted. If someone was smarter than another, it doesn't mean that making them equal would mean putting a metal radio in the smart person's ear and sending an extremely loud noise every twenty seconds is the answer. We should help and teach the person that isn't as smart.
    I, as a citizen, probably wouldn't do anything much about it, mostly because I'm a coward and wouldn't dare to stand up to the H-G men myself such as Harrison.

5) Since there's such a big population of people all over the world, to me it seems almost impossible to get everyone equal. Maybe it amy seem possible, but it'd take a whole lot of energy and a whole lot of time to get that done. But I'd say that human nature would make sure that some people would evetually dominate others. If the world was all equal, then eventually everyone would get bored and something random would happen.

6) I didn't feel similar to any of the characters in the story, but George reminded me a lot of my 17 year old brother, Cody. My brother always sounded smarter than I was, well he IS smarter. It also reminded me from my experience that I used to be ballerina during my elementary years back in California. My instructor always told us to point our toes and make every move graceful. She always said to smile at our recitals so we would look pretty.
