      "Harrison Bergeron" takes place in 2081, in the United States, and it's main point is the society depicted, that restrained critical thinking and creativity, as well as competition; in a distorted application of methods to achieve equality. They used devices to avoid clear thinking, masks to hide beauty with the purpose of placing people in the same level.

     The characters are the Bergeron family in which the son, Harrison Bergeron, was so superior that no "containment" device could avoid his skills and appearance  to show up. In a tentative of changing the world and freeing the handicapped people, and after all that being their "King", Harrison defies the system and ends up being murdered by the commander of this new world: The United States Handicapper General. As no one could remember what happened on the moment before, even Harrison's parents who were watching the scene on TV, the world continued as it were.

In what organizational pattern do you compare and contrast subjects as a whole?
kipiarov [429]
There are multiple ways of comparing and contrasting structures that each have different implications and dangers. 

1. The back-and-forth method, in which every other sentence compares and contrasts. ie:
P1- theme 
     -p1 Book A is blah, whereas Book B is blah. 
P2- theme
     -p2 Book A is blah.... you get the point, 
The danger of this method is sounding too redundant, although it does a good job of focusing on the themes. 

2. The separate, mixed theme method, in which an entire paragraph is dedicated to each subject, but the themes are thus mixed up within those paragraphs. This method is less redundant but runs the risk of losing clarity of theme. 

3. The compare vs. contrast method. This one is fairly straightforward: A paragraph comparing, a paragraph contrasting, and one of synthesis at the end. The pros: It's playing it safe, and it'll work. The cons: It's boring.

Combinations of these 3 methods work as well, it all depends on your personal writing style and the subjects you're comparing. 

Good luck

Under a so called latte levy, people could be charged 25 p for paper coffee cups What punctuation mark a should put?
KengaRu [80]

Answer: An exclamation mark (!)

Explanation:

An exclamation mark is a punctuation mark that is used at the end of a sentence to show emotion or a very strong feeling.

The statement is best written as;

Under a so called latte levy, people could be charged 25p for paper coffee cups!

This is because the statement contains a very strong feeling about the fact that people could be charged 25p, a “so-called” Latte levy.

The writer cannot believe that a charge of 25p is attached to the use of disposable cups just to cut down on waste.

After we arrived in New Orleans, we rode the trolley around town.
FinnZ [79.3K]

The elements that makes the given sentence 'After...town' would include:

C). One dependent clause and one independent clause.

The dependent clauses are described as the clause that play a subordinate role and has the inability to communicate a <u>complete</u> meaning in itself.

While the independent clauses can function independently to convey an accomplished sense to the readers.

The given sentence exemplifies a 'complex sentence' that is made up of a dependent clause beginning with the subordinating conjunction 'after' followed by the principal(independent) clause 'we...around town.'

Thus, <u>option C</u> is the correct answer.
