When Harrison is freeing himself from his shackles it shows up that the power of the government could not even hold him down that power doesn't really men anything as long as you put your mind to what you want they can’t stop you.
8.The simile the narrator used to describe harrison and the ballerina when they were dancing was¨ They leaped like deer on the mood” when he says that it means that it looks like they are just floating around and dancing back and forth like there want any problem.
9.Harrison's parents aren't emotionally impacted by his death because one his dad had seen everything but he does not remember anything because he is “handicapped” and he has that shock that messes with his memory, and his mother does not get to see anything so she has no idea that he even died.I think that americans are similar to George and Hazel now a days because everyone tends to just forget about people as time passes by.
10. I think that Georges advice to his wife at the end is good because no one needs any negativity in there lives. If she has remembered all the sad things she probably wouldn't have been able to live with herself and then she'd have

    The story takes place in the future, in which all individuals are equal. Equal by intelligence, physical appearance, basically anything that would make one person different from the other. To insure equality the more intelligent people were forced to wear devices around their necks to hinder their thinking, and attractive people had to wear a sort of mask on their face. I would imagine the government did this in order to eliminate unnecessary conflict between people, and emotions in this “perfect society”. In the beginning we are introduced to George and Hazel Bergeron who have recently had there teenage son Harrison taken away.…

    1. The mood, atmosphere and feeling of the first page is that Jonas was frightened more than scared. This was because a plane flew over his community, and it is illegal to fly over his community.

    It all had started when we went to the bar after the incident with Lennie, George was semi drunk but he told us the story of how George and Lennie came to us. “It all started when we were on the road and the bus driver left us behind,” he said as I listened in. “We were walking on the road and the sun was setting, we stopped up for camp,” George said as I thought about George’s unstable emotions. What I thought was that if Lennie was with George all those years, even when they were young children, did George ever think of this kind of reckless and sad future? “Lennie stupidly dipped his fingers into some strange lake, luckily it was running,” George said laughing.…
