This week I read Kurt Vonnegut's short story "Harrison Bergeron" and focused on equality issues in class discussion. Then we studied the technique Vonnegut used to promote his story and defined sarcasm and distortion of literary terms. Vonnegut criticized the sarcasm to condemn disabled generals and create a desire for "equality". Below is a small review course for the materials covered in this week's course.

It is easy to see that Harrison Bergeron has done powerful political and social criticism. But what exactly does Vonnegut criticize? The general view of Vonnegut in the irony of Harrison Bergeron shows that this irony is for the Soviet Union. This view comes from historical background (Harrison Bergeron was published during the Cold War era, when anti-communist propaganda was in America). In the 1960s, the United States came into contact with Russia during the Cold War and recently struggled in the McCarthy era when Communists were accused by art, literature, and political community and on the black list. The future American Harrison Belerger society supports the idea that wealth and power should be distributed equally and class hierarchy should not exist, according to the principle of communism.

"Harrison Bergeron" by Kurt Vonnegut Jr. is a satirical short story. It was the American utopia in 2081, and "everyone finally equals, (Vonnegut 1)." The hero is Harrison Bergeron, and because of this equality he is a sort of human being and society We face external confrontation. There are ordinary people with disabilities who assign obstacles to those who think they are too strong to keep them all equal. Obstacles are, for example, weights or devices that transmit bullets through the transmitter to divert the attention of the wearer. Harrison is smart, handsome and strong. As a result, his obstacles are widespread and marginal.
