Question

Part A

Answer 1

Part A.

Answer: A) Close minded people are a threat to beauty, individuality and self expression.

The main theme of Harrison Bergeron is that equality eradicates the freedom,  achievements and personal expression of people. In this story we can see that people are all equal and that no one can be stronger, more beautiful or even smarter than others because this inflics jealousy in others. This takes away people's freedom to be able to express themselves. Therefore, answer A is correct.

Part B

Answer: The story begins by stating that “everyone was finally equal” and describes how hard the government works to create a totally equal society.

The beginning of the story states that people are finally equal, and it even mentions that people are still mad because it's not spring in April. With this the author is just mocking how people want to control everything and how people perceive things different to them as threats.
