5 0

People in "Harrison Bergeron" are hesitant to join Harrison and get rid of their handicaps since they are aware of the severe consequences that will follow. Talented citizens who remove their disabilities run the risk of being detained, subject to harsh penalties, or perhaps killed. They are also taught to dread the repercussions of disobeying the law and to obey the government.

<h3>What is the symbolism behind Harrison removing all his handicaps?</h3>

In "Harrison Bergeron," the aim of handicaps is to make everyone equal by preventing one individual from having an edge over another. The removal of Harrison Bergeron's disabilities serves as a metaphor for someone escaping the constraints of society's social relationships. People that behave in this way are typically classified as criminals, sociopaths, or psychopaths. Harrison briefly demonstrates what is possible for those without disabilities. They show how much work needs to be done to get even the most gifted and distinctive people to fit in. They just serve to bolster him and demonstrate his superiority as a member of society.

(This is the same person that answered above, just different account)

Once upon a time, there was a boy named Billy. He lived in the royal village of Scotland under King Richard. One day, the king decided to call all the children in the valley to his presents. He gave each of them a flower seed, and said that whoever grew the most beautiful flower would be the new king. Billy was so excited and rushed home right away to plant the seed. He watered it every day, but nothing ever came up. His neaighbor already had a beautiful flower growing, along with most of the other kids in the valley, but Billy never did. On the date the king said to come back, everyone had flowers of all sorts. There were magnificant sunflowers, and daisies, and roses, and every other type of flower you could think of. The king had them all line up with their flowers, but Billy's pot was still empty. He was embarrased and ashamed. However, when the king reached Billy, he smiled and grabbed Billy's arm and rasied it high in the air. He announced Billy as Scotland's new king. He explained that every seed he gave the children, had all been roasted and cooked, so there would be no plant to ever come up. This proved that everyone in the whole valley cheated and replaced seeds when nothing came up, all except for Billy. He was testing the people in his valley to see which kid was honest, and trustworthy. Becuase Billy did not cheat and replace the seed like everyone else did, the king trusted him, and made him the new king of Scotland. The End
