Harrison Burgeron Project
Storyboard Text
- I am watching a nice dance done by ballerinas.
- What are you watching, dear?
- We are the dancers. We all dance the same.
- Attention, town! Harrison has escaped from jail and is on the loose.
- I don't think so...BANG!
- Let's show them what it means to dance, my empress. 
- I forget why. But I know I saw something sad on TV.
- Why are you crying?
- In his story. "Harrison Burgeron," Kurt Vonnegut makes the point that total equality is not a good thing to be striving for. This can lead to many problems in the universe. This would be called communism today. The government tries to make people depend on it so that they do not know how to make a living on their own. The government also wants people to have the same thinking like in the story so that know one is smarter or dumber than another person.  The government, though, decides how much knowledge they want their citizens to have. He shows this in the story by having one ruler and making sure that the ruler does not lose her power to the regular people. The citizens just watch life go on because they have to obey the ruler no matter what or else they will be punished too. This is what I think the message of the story is.
