Harrison Bergeron

I think that Vonnegut is satirizing society's issues with equality. People these days are so worried about how everyone is treated and not offending people that they don't develop their own potential. This story argues for letting every thing happen naturally and let everything develop on it's own. This story is told as if an observer was showing us about the future. This is more effective because it is able to use a tone that is not very serious. If the story was told from Harrison Bergeron's point of view Vonnegut would not have been able to show how the normal people, his parents, reacted to sadness and affliction.
