Hazel had a perfectly average intelligence, which meant she couldn’t think about anything except in short bursts. And George, wh

ile his intelligence was way above normal, had a little mental handicap radio in his ear. He was required by law to wear it at all times. It was tuned to a government transmitter.

Answer: c. by implying that forced uniformity interferes with individuals’ intellectual development

Explanation:

In the book, "Harrison Bergeron," humanity is in a dystopian society where there is an emphasis on equality such that people who have an edge over others and given handicaps to bring them level with the rest of the population.

George here is being made to wear a mental handicap that limits his use of his above average intelligence. George is therefore unable to grow intellectually because of the handicap forced on him to promote uniformity and equality.

Do any of the characters from “A Good Man is Hard to Find” and “Spunk” have a legitimate reason to seek revenge? Fully explain w
e-lub [12.9K]

Answer:

Joe Kanty had a legitimate reason to seek revenge in 'Spunk' while none of the characters from “A Good Man is Hard to Find” had any legitimate reason for vengeance.

Explanation:

Vengeance (the act of revenging or taking revenge) is an act of paying back someone, often in their own coin, for a perceived injustice or wrong done to the person seeking revenge.

The character 'Joe Kanty' in the novel 'Spunk' did have a legitimate reason to seek revenge on the main character of the novel 'Spunk Banks.'

Spank Banks, a fearless, courageous and heftily-built man who worked at a sawmill, had taken the wife of Joe Kanty from him, as was Bank's usual custom.

When Joe Kanty summoned the courage to confront Spunk Banks, Spunk shot Joe dead right in front of his wife, Lena; who despised her husband Joe anyway on account of his timidity. It is believed that Joe's spirit came back to take revenge on Spunk by pushing off a log of wood onto the cutting blade which severely injured him. Spunk later died of the injury wounds.

None of the characters in the book 'A Good Man Is Hard to Find' however, has any legitimate reason to seek revenge, even though Bailey's family was murdered by the Misfit and his henchmen after their car had an accident.
