Author's Note: This is a piece that I wrote about a short story we read in class. I chose to look at the main character, his actions, why he felt that way, and how his actions affected the story and the character. I would like feedback on word choice. Thanks!
The main character to me in this short story was Harrison Bergeron. His actions affected the story because he attempted to go against and change society, by dancing without limitations given to him by the government. It affected others in the story as well, because by dancing with the girl he danced with, he put her in moral peril. Harrison also affected George and Hazel, by making them think, even just for a few moments, that maybe they could join him and defy the government and their limitations. That could have easily harmed them or even killed them. Harrison Bergeron acted this way because he felt that the government shouldn't be able to do this to their people. He didn't think that it was right, and that feeling led to his attempt of defiance. An attempt that sadly failed.
