In Harrison Bergeron people are handicapped for whatever their abilities are that are greater than that of the rest of society. Examples of these include ear pieces to scatter the thoughts of the smart, weights to hold down the strong, and masks for the beautiful. If I were to live in this world, I would also be handicapped. The main thing that would handicap me would be the ear piece to scatter my thoughts because I am a fairly smart student and I also enjoy just thinking at times for now particular reason about no particular topic. I would also be handicapped physically, but only slightly. Although I am a cross country and track runner, my abilities have been greatly decrease in the past year due to real life health issues including bad knees and injured lungs resulting from a bad case of bronchitis last winter.
It's Harrison Bergeron silly. I know you changed it. Don't deny the fact that you spelled it wrong. There's no Harris in the story. I do like the idea a lot because I feel that a lot of people will have the ear pieces since we're all intelligent people. Don't let the injuries get you down Derek. I BELIEVE IN YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!
