Answer and Explanation:

<u>Through his satire "Harrison Bergeron", Kurt Vonnegut conveys the message that forcing equality onto people is ineffective. It does not lead to true, real equality.</u>

The story is set in America, in the year 2081. The government forces anyone whose beauty, intelligence, or physical strength, for instance, is superior in any way. <u>The characters must use handicaps that take away their "advantages". Harrison's father, an intelligent man, is forced to use something that prevents him from thinking clearly. Harrison himself is forced to wear several different types of handicaps since he handsome, strong and intelligent.</u>

However, it is clear that<u> people are not happy</u>. They lead an average life, never being able to do much, <u>never exploring their full potential. In the end, when Harrison defies the government, he is killed.</u>

Vonnegut shows that real equality does not come forcefully. Acceptance and tolerance should be the key for equality, not impositions or prohibitions.

DIRECTIONS : Rewrite each sentence to create parallelism .
likoan [24]

Answer:

1. To get ahead, a person needs to have good goals, study hard, and plan well for the future.

2. The professor needs to either publish more books or work with his students.  

3. She is having good days, bad days, long days and short days.  

4. Hike the Appalachian Trail is exploring the Panama Canal and the Mississippi ford.

Explanation:

The above sentences were rewritten to create parallelism.

Parallelism is a rhetorical device which refers to the repetition of a particular grammatical structure in a sentence. It provides clarity and balance in a sentence where it is employed. It also gives the sentence pattern and rhythm.

In the rewritten sentences, we discover that each of the phrases that make up the sentence follow the same grammatical structure. You will observe the structure as used after each comma and/or the conjunction, "and" in each sentence.

Rainbow [258]
A. She is a saint, and he is a pilgrim who adores her.

It says, in their early conversations, therefore not in any of their soliloquies. In their first conversation, there are lines such as "For saints have hands, that pilgrim hands do touch." Therefore A is the correct answer.
