Answer:

The government uses force to ensure equality.

Explanation:

The short story of "Harrison Bergeron" by Kurt Vonnegut is a of a science fictional dystopian setting. The depiction of equality through the forceful elimination of any difference shows the extremes that a government will go to make their power known and obeyed.

The protagonist of the story Harrison Bergeron was an intelligent person, who had been deemed different and made to wear disguises to hide his "<em>superiority</em>". Set in the futuristic year of 2081, the government's dictates of literal "<em>equality for all</em>" made it too much like a dictatorial power. The people were forcefully made to conform to their proposed "normal" label. For the sake of equality, the government resort to using force on its citizens.

how does the final sentence of the article contribute to the meaning of the text? we bet nobody gotten into a fight while waitin
babymother [125]

Answer:

This is my answer for doing it on Common Lit, hope it helps:

Explanation:

The final sentence "We bet nobody’s gotten into a fight while waiting for that oyster party" contributes to what Editor Scott Hensley had said about going downtown and waiting in line with a "friend" rather than buy tickets online for the Old Ebbitt Grill's annual Oyster Riot.  It had put up to saying that people waiting in line had too much fun to even "start a fight", like how people complain that they don't get refunds from returning tickets online, or when people give a bad review that, who knows, could start something big in the future. Waiting in line make's you interact more with the people or friends around you, having a bigger probability of having fun rather than starting one of those sibling fights. Of course, some people often don't like oyster or seafood, but you can find yourself waiting for oyster on a line tomorrow, lauging with your friend louder than the megaphone they use to call out names for oyster soup. Who knows.
