Why aren't harrison's parents more emotionally impacted by the death of their son?

English
1 answer:
Sauron [17]3 years ago
8 0
In Vonnegut's Harrison Bergeron, Harrison's parents are incapable of being emotionally impacted by their son's death due to their numerous handicaps.

Because they are so handicapped, they are unable to concentrate or focus on something for more than a moment. Their handicaps prevent them from thinking clearly or remembering details. As a result, although they initially feel sad, they quickly forget what happened and continue watching television.

2. Read the following passage and answer the question that follows.
Dmitry [639]
1. is the best choice
MLA citation requires that in parenthesis at the end of the reference, that the Author's last name be given, followed by the page number. This immediately eliminates choices 2 & 4. The main difference between 1 and 3 are that number 3 uses quotations to mark off the direct phrases from the passage. Although it does include important supporting details, it misses one of the key ideas, that of eating communal meals. Also, in shorter passages like this, the reference at the end demonstrates that a writer is using ideas from another person and the rest of number one is sufficiently paraphrased to avoid using quotations.
