Harrison Bergerson Comprehension

1-The government doesn't handicap Hazel because she's "average"

2-The Government is looking for Harrison because he's very smart, athletic, and good looking, running around without handicaps after escaping jail

3-The Handicapper General shoots Harrison and his empress with a double barrel shotgun when they're dancing and jumping around

4-Because George wasn't at the couch, so he didn't see it, and Hazel forgot what she had seen because of her "average" intelligence

5-The main conflict in the story is society, and how the trying to make everyone equal is making the world worse. It's resolved when Diana shoots Harrison and the empress and forces everyone to put their handicaps back in.

6-The climax of the story is Harrison going into the dance studios, selecting an empress, and removing their handicaps

7-The society in the story is not a very good one. People think they're equal, but you can't make everyone equal but covering them in weights, giving them speech impediments, or making them unable to think. It's normal to not be fast, for no woman to be prettier than another, all news reporters to have speech troubles, and all that matters is that people try their best on what they're trying to do.

8-He's trying to say that making everyone equal would be bad. The world wouldn't progress, no one will be able to focus for more than 20sec, and it feels like the world is a big prison. I agree because in the story, the world seems like a dark place.

9- Harrison becomes emperor --> He removes the handicaps from everyone --> the world goes back to the dark ages because everyone's competing I think it could be better, but for only for a while before everyone starts fighting over competitions
