The purpose of handicaps in the story is to set equality but it is not right that some are wearing less and some are wearing more handicaps.

<u>Explanation:</u>

In "Harrison Bergeron," Vonnegut proposes that complete equality isn't a perfect worth taking a stab at, the same number of individuals accept, yet a mixed up objective that is hazardous in both execution and result. To accomplish physical and mental fairness among all Americans, the administration in Vonnegut's story torments its residents.

In Harrison Bergerson the reason for the handicaps is to set up a counterfeit feeling of equity, while in all actuality, they maintain the individuals from exploiting their normal gifts and capacities.

According to the concepts advocated in "Harrison Bergeron", it is right that some people have more disadvantages than others. This is because it is in disadvantages that people are able to seek improvements in their lives, developing extraordinary skills and talents that would never be developed if everyone had an easy life full of advantages. This is able to establish sameness among individuals, because some get advantages in life without any work, while others also get these advantages, but through great work and dedication.

If our society were applied to disadvantages, everyone would be encouraged to seek to work within their limitations, to overcome them and achieve advantages for their life as a form of reward. However, a society applied to advantages encourages the population to conform to the little and not advance in personal development.

pantera1 [17]

Answer:

The future doesn’t belong to the fainthearted; it belongs to the brave. The Challenger crew was pulling us into the future, and we'll continue to follow them.

Explanation:

President Reagan made the Challenger speech to commiserate with the families of the crew of the Challenger and school teacher Christa McAuliffe who was to go into orbit that had the unfortunate accident and also to advocate for future space expeditions.

The tragedy was especially painful because a lot of school children were watching as the Challenger went into motion and witnessed the horror. It was up to President Reagan to address the eight-year-olds, eighteen-year-olds, and eighty-year-olds. He decided to be plain to American listeners without being patronizing anyone. He admitted that he had to be "plain to them that life goes on and you don't back up and quit some worthwhile endeavor because of tragedy"

marishachu [46]

Answer: In both, people fight for their lives. It contributes because The Hobbit and The Hunger Games follow Campbell’s formula for “The Hero’s  

Explanation: In the 1940s, the writer and professor, Joseph Campbell, noticed that a lot of his favorite stories shared  a similar structure. He wrote about it in his book, The Hero with a Thousand Faces. Today, this  story structure is popularly known as “The Hero’s Journey.” Campbell’s Hero’s Journey structure shows up all over literature, no matter the genre. The Hero’s  Journey stories are so compelling because we like to see heroic characters overcoming great obstacles;  we admire these heroes and hope to be like them.
