Harrison Bergeron

At first, when I began reading this poem, I really did not understand the plot until towards the end. The plot was very interesting but fascinating to me. I have never before seen a 14 year old attempt to overthrow a government and become the ruler of the world. This story made me think of some questions like "Could our country end up like this in the future?"
Over the course of the story it took me a while to realize that everyone was equal, or so they thought. For a while I did not understand what the weights and earpieces were for until I realized they were a strange idea by the government to keep everyone equal. I thought the author did a great job with coming up with a very creative story. It was weird but also very fun and intriguing.

  1. I was also really confused about the plot, but I eventually figured it out. It was a very confusing story, but it was also very fun.
