This question is incomplete. I've found it online, and it is as follows:

In the story, people are reluctant to join Harrison and take off their handicaps. Why do you  think this is?

Answer and Explanation:

I believe there are two possible explanations as to why people are afraid to join Harrison when he removes his handicaps. <u>First, they might just be taken aback by the novelty of what is happening. Society has grown used to wearing handicaps to make them equal. It is something that has become such a part of their lives that, even if uncomfortable or unfair, they do not question as they should. Second, there are consequences for those who remove their handicaps. The few people who choose to question authority and defy the status quo are punished. Therefore, even if people do want to get rid of handicaps like Harrison did, they fear the consequences that will ensue.</u> As a matter of fact, Harrison is killed by the Handicapper General for his audacity.

"Harrison Bergeron" is a short story by author Kurt Vonnegut, Jr. In the year of 2081, the American government is able to provide equality in the strangest manner. To prevent people from feeling stupid, ugly, weak, incapable in any way, the Handicapper General forces those who have advantages to be handicapped.
