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.

Act 3 scene 4 and 5 essay on macbeth
Gwar [14]
In scene 4, at Forres, Macbeth<span> and his wife welcome the thanes of Scotland to the banquet. Immediately prior to the feast, one of the murderers appears at a side door and reveals to Macbeth the truth about the mission: their success in the killing of </span>Banquo<span> and their failure to murder Fleance. Macbeth recomposes himself and returns to the table. As he raises a toast to his absent friend, he imagines he sees the ghost of Banquo. As with the ethereal dagger, the ghost of Banquo appears to come and go, propelling Macbeth into alternating fits of courage and despair. </span>Lady Macbeth<span> invites the thanes to depart and, once alone, tries one last time to soothe her husband. But Macbeth's paranoid mind is already on to the next murder, that of </span>Macduff<span>. To ascertain his future with greater certainty, he makes clear his intention to visit the Weird Sisters once more.
</span>In Scene 5, <span>Hecate, the classical goddess of the lower world who represents the spirit of ancient witchcraft, calls the weird sisters to her to complain that her own part in </span>Macbeth<span>'s downfall has been overlooked and that she now wishes personally to make his downfall complete. The scene is unnecessary to understanding the play and was probably not written by </span>Shakespeare<span>.</span>
