What message do the characters develop this message during “Harrison Bergeron”

English

Answer:

When Kurt Vonnegut writes his short story "Harrison Bergeron", the hidden message concerns the dangers of total equality.

In Vonnegut's America, the Government decided to amend the Constitution, so that all citizens are entirely equal in all aspects of life.

Citizens are forced to wear mechanisms that prevent physically and intellectually talented people from reaching their full potentials.

In Vonnegut's description of America, citizens who are either gifted or attractive, suffer consequences because of their condition. Individuality has been completely suppressed.

Harrison Bergeron is forced to wear weights, an ugly mask, and huge headphones just to make him equal to other citizens. When he escapes from prison, he tries to overthrow the Government; this makes the reader excited and hopeful. However, when Diana Moon Glampers ends Harrison's life, the reader gets a pessimistic feeling towards the concept of equality.

liq [111]

Answer:

A hand held up at chest height, then slowly lowered to waist height

Explanation:

For answering this question, it is best to try to do the described gestures by yourself in order to visualize them and compare with the given situation. The situation is that choir and orchestra are finishing the song and the volume is decreasing (going down) to the lowest tones. So when we compare all the given gestures with this, we notice that only the third one includes lowering of the hand which represents the lowering of the volume. Gestures often follow the very essence of the action. Some of them are a product of social agreements like clapping at the end of the performance ( Two hands brought together with a clap in front of the chest).
