There are three types of irony, verbal, situational, and dramatic. Verbal irony is the use of words to mean something different than what the person says. Situational irony is when something different happens than what is expected. Lastly, dramatic irony is when is when the audience is aware of something the characters are not.
In the story "Harrison Bergeron," Vonnegut employs dramatic irony. The audience is aware that Harrison was murdered by the government, but the characters although they witnessed it, cannot recall mere moments later that their own son was murdered. He was murdered for rejecting the government and their control over trying to make everyone equal and the same mechanisms caused his own parents to forget him.

Explanation:
The plot of a story can be divided into five elements:
- Exposition - the element found at the beginning of the story. It provides us with background information about the setting, characters, and events that take place in the story.
- Rising action - a series of events revolving around the central conflict of the story creates tension.
- Climax - the tension is at its highest point. This is the most important turning point in the story.
- Falling action - the tension decreases after the climax.
- Resolution - the part that follows the falling action. The central conflict is resolved. This is the story's conclusion.
These elements take place in the order I've listed them in. We simply need to pay attention to the order in which the given events from <em>The Adventures of Tom Sawyer </em>take place. This is how this question should be solved.
