The story “Harrison Bergeron” By Kurt Vonnegut, Jr. tells about the year 2081. During this period many amendments were made by the constitution to demolish inequality among the US citizens. The efforts were not made to empower and raise the standards of the handicapped. Instead methods were adopted to penalize people who were gifted with superior intellect, physical beauty or strength. The normal height, weight, appearance, intelligence and strength were decided considering the handicaps and the disabled people so as to equalize the society.


People with beautiful faces were asked to wear masks to hide themselves, intelligent people were forced to wear headsets that disturbed their brains and nerves with loud noises and annoying sounds. People with good physical body have to carry sacks of birdshots so as to weigh down. This was the way which the Americans adopted to maintain the equality among themselves.

christmas is a more important festival than Easter for christians. Evaluate this statement ( 12 marks)
Helga [31]
Christmas is a more important festival to Christians than Easter because Christmas symbolises the birth of Jesus Christ and the long journey Mary and Joseph took. Christmas marks the birth of a miracle worker and the birth of the ‘old testament’. Jesus is a huge part of Christianity as a faith and religion and Christmas is the start of that. Easter however is still a very imprinting holiday to Christians as it marks the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. (if this question is worth 12 mark i suggest you expand on this more)

Read the following excerpt from The Great Gatsby:
Readme [11.4K]
<span>D. Old money is scornful of new money; in America, class rivalry can breed stereotypes.

From what Tom says, we know that he is not a big fan of Gatsby. We also know that he is only speculating when he says "I imagined it." Tom does not trust Gatsby as a newly rich person of high society. He also uses stereotypes when talking about how Gatsby came into his riches. We see this when he says, "A lot of these newly rich people are just big bootleggers". His generalization of the newly rich is considered stereotyping.
