The story mocks the idea that everyone can be equal.

While everyone may have equal rights -- and equal rights are certainly necessary -- everyone will not be equally smart, good looking, talented, etc.

Vonnegut mocks the idea that it is possible to achieve this kind of equality. The Handicapper General takes this idea to the extreme by bestowing life-altering handicaps to everyone in an effort to make everyone "equal."

As Harrison Bergeron himself proves, this type of equality is false and doomed to fail. Even his handicaps cannot prevent him from being greater than others.

Bergerons parents satirize those who go along with ideas even though these ideas may hurt them -- when his wife suggests he remove some of the weights around his neck, he refuses.

your cousin, Li Ling, won some money in an art competition. read the email from her asking her opinion on how to spend it​
zysi [14]

The email will be about how to make judicious use of the money, invest some in her education, and avoid wastage of the money.

Dear Li,

How are you doing and how are you parents? I got your mail and I'm really glad that you won the competition. I'm proud of you.

You asked me to tell you how you'll spend it. That's very thoughtful of you. I'll advise that you keep half of the money in the bank. It's important to invest rather than spend the money.

Also, you should give the remaining half of the money to your parents. This can be used in supporting your education. It can also be used by them to provide necessary things that will be used at home. They will appreciate your kind gesture.

I hope to hear from you soon.

Your sincerely,

Bob.
