Homework for Jan. 11, 2011

For tonight's homework you will answer the following questions related to "Harrison Bergeron" on your own blog:


Life in Vietnam would be perfect if everyone were totally equal.  Do you agree or disagree?  Explain your answer in complete sentences.

You are designing a society in which everyone is equal. What are the laws?

What would you do to help people who were less capable mentally, physically, or socially to “catch up”?

What problems can you foresee that might come in a society with laws that force “equality for all”? How would you handle those problems?

Do you believe that total equality is possible, or would human nature make sure that some people would eventually dominate others?

In what situations have you felt similarly to any of the characters? What persons, places, or ideas from your own experience came to mind while you were reading this story? Try to list as least two examples.

    Mr. Blake, in your equal, you mean like really equal or equity (fairness)
