Dystopia In Harrison Bergeron
Harrison Bergeron is about a world that tries to be utopian society, but really is a dystopian society. The only people known in the short story are people from america. The u.s government is attempting to make the world perfect, by making everyone equal at everything. In order to do this they make people wear handicaps. The handicaps make smarter,stronger,better looking people the same as everyone else. They do this by putting sashweights and bags of birdshot on the stronger people to weigh them down. They put thick spectacles on people so they are made half blind. They also put mental handicaps on the smarter people so when they think for themselves, there is a loud sound that goes off in their ear so they forget what they were thinking
