Laura's attempt at trying to use an English idiom reveals that she is eager to try English phrases and expressions.

The story “Harrison Bergeron” By Kurt Vonnegut, Jr. tells about the year 2081. During this period many amendments were made by the constitution to demolish inequality among the US citizens. The efforts were not made to empower and raise the standards of the handicapped. Instead methods were adopted to penalize people who were gifted with superior intellect, physical beauty or strength. The normal height, weight, appearance, intelligence and strength were decided considering the handicaps and the disabled people so as to equalize the society.
People with beautiful faces were asked to wear masks to hide themselves, intelligent people were forced to wear headsets that disturbed their brains and nerves with loud noises and annoying sounds. People with good physical body have to carry sacks of birdshots so as to weigh down. This was the way which the Americans adopted to maintain the equality among themselves.
