Kurt Vonnegut and Harrison Bergeron
Vonnegut makes his hero a 14 year-old. ... Towards the end of the tale, Vonnegut portraits a lot of violent and vivacious motions of Harrison Bergeron. ... Born as a genius with exceptionally high intelligence and a keen athlete, Harrison Bergeron should be regarded as a gifted little boy in our present society. ... " As a 14 year-old boy, Harrison Bergeron is spotted out to be one of those "handicapped", and he is then put into jail. ... Whats more ironic is that, when Harrison escaped from jail and then takes away all the handicap devices of himself and others, the "handicapper general" fired upon him and killed him in just a few seconds.
