This is a story that full of sarcasms. The people in the story have to wear a special handicaps, they also have to, make them very ugly, they even cannot speak like normal. I think this means people are under oppress. Also some people try to revolute, for example, Harrison Bergeron, he tries to revolute but he failed he has been killed by the leader of the government. And there seems something can make people forget what has just happened, hum… it is called handicap signal. This is the way that government make citizens equal, make others don’t know she has ever done wrong things. In this story person that better than others had been punished. I have to say that is awful, everyone has special talent and because of this everyone has their own role in the society, if one day everyone is really “equal” like people in the story, then the society will break down.
