Summary Harrison Bergeron
Answer:
The story opens with the main characters, George and Hazel Bergeron, who are in their living room watching television. The narrator mentions their “abnormal” son, Harrison, who was taken away from them at fourteen for supposedly plotting to overthrow the government. However, George and Hazel can’t seem to focus on that tragic event, because Hazel has a merely average intelligence level, and George is given a handicap to reduce his intellectual capacity in the form of an ear radio that plays a harsh sound every twenty seconds to disrupt his thoughts.
As they watch a group of ballerinas dance on television, George acknowledges their artificial handicaps: sash weights and bags of birdshot that burden their movements and masks that cover their beauty. As George thinks about how the ballerinas shouldn’t be given handicaps, a sound rages in his ear, and the thought is lost.
Hazel notices George flinching and begins to talk about how she would make a great Handicapper General because she knows what normal really is—she doesn’t need to wear any weight or ear radios. The conversation makes George think about Harrison, who is currently in jail, but just as the thought appears in his mind, he hears a twenty-one-gun salute that again scatters his thoughts. Two of the ballerinas also appear to receive jarring transmissions, and they grab their heads and throw themselves to the floor.
Hazel notices how tired George looks and tells him to sit on the sofa so that he can rest the weight strapped to his neck. She claims she doesn’t mind if he’s “not equal to [her] for a while,” but George refuses, saying he’s used to the weight. She then suggests they could make a hole in the bag of birdshot and remove some of the weight, but George reminds her that for every ball removed, he would face two years in jail and a two-thousand-dollar fine. George says if he starts cheating the system, everyone will, and they’d all return to a world of competition. This idea of competition upsets Hazel, but they are interrupted when a buzzer goes off in George’s ear. The conversation ends as the two forget what they are talking about.
The announcer on television interrupts the dancers with a breaking news story but can’t seem to read the announcement due to a speech impediment. He hands his paper to one of the dancers, who must apologize for her beautiful voice and forcefully speaks in a “squawk” so as not to offend anyone. She reads that Harrison Bergeron has escaped from jail. He is described as seven feet tall and dangerous due to his being “a genius and an athlete.” Even though the Handicappers gave him headphones to stop his thoughts, glasses to make him half blind, and weight that would crush an average human, Harrison has overcome these impediments. They even shaved off his eyebrows and capped his teeth to reduce his attractiveness. None of the handicaps stopped Harrison, and he is now on the loose.
All of a sudden, the sound of a crash is heard on the television. George hears the sound and knows it’s his son. Moments later, Harrison appears, and the television crew sinks to their knees as he walks in and takes center stage, declaring that he is “the Emperor” and that everyone must obey. Harrison rips off all his handicaps and throws them to the ground. He claims he needs an “Empress” and tells the women in the room to rise if they feel worthy. After a moment of silence, one ballerina stands. Harrison rips off her handicaps and reveals that she is “blindingly beautiful.” He yells at the musicians in the room to play their best music, nothing average. Once the sound is sufficiently delightful, Harrison and the ballerina dance without constraint. They twirl, spin, and kiss as they leap high into the air, where they remain suspended in defiance of gravity.
Before the pair can land, two shots ring out from a double-barreled shotgun, striking both of them. It’s Diana Moon Glampers, the Handicapper General, ensuring that order is restored. She then aims the gun at the musicians and tells them to put on their handicaps, or they’re next.
During this frantic episode, the Bergerons television short-circuits. Hazel turns to George, but he is walking back from the kitchen with a beer. He sees the television and notices Hazel has been crying, but she can’t remember why. George tells her to “forget sad things” shortly before his ear radio plays the sound of a riveting gun. Hazel says the sound must have been “a doozy,” and George replies, “You could say that again.” Hazel, taking him literally, repeats her remark verbatim.

How do teens react or deal with Gangs issues in today’s society?
pls help you can have 15 points but don't cheat to get the points
Answer:
Gangs are a problem plaguing our nation. While trends show a steady decrease from the past, gangs are still prevalent in many communities throughout the U.S. Unfortunately, many gangs lure susceptible youth into their ranks leading them down a path of criminal activity, drugs and ultimately destruction. As a society what can we do to help deter these vulnerable youth from becoming involved in gang activity? To answer this question, and many more, I turned to an expert in gang involvement and detective for an urban police department. Due to the nature of his job, he requested that his identity remain anonymous. Join us as we delve into this two part series Gangs: Protecting Today's Youth.
Explanation:
Why might an author provide clues about what is happening in a story instead of simply explaining it?
Answer: They want there audience to infer what will happen, to understand it themselves. That way it will make for a better read, rather than being told it, a reader can piece together themselves and fully understand the words being said, a great writer will never reveal their plans just as a great magician never reveals their secrets. Writers want you to explore your mind, and find connections bit by bit. This makes for a wonderful book.

He expects a body paragraph form with topic sentence, concrete detail, and commentary. He also wants you to have with the response either a compound or complex sentence or some sort of figurative language. He also wants to see description and imagery. If you can help thank you sm, and you are free to write your own opinion on this.
Answer:
My opinions
Explanation:
"I think anyone should be able to express themselves however they would like. Body image, culture, and peer pressure are all big problems with expression. The thing is, we're all human. It honestly doesn't matter who we love, where we come from, or what we look like. In schools, a lot of girls are dress coded, simply for being themselves. Boys dont really have this problem. It really shouldn't matter what someone is wearing, because what matters is what is inside the person. If a boy wants to wear a skirt, let him. If a girl wants to wear pants, let her. We are not defined by how we look, and its stifling to be taught a certain way to dress at such a young age."

Hen we arrived at the trade show some of our equipment was missing - lost in shipping - but my boss found a store nearby to lease our missing apparatus.
Answer:
The correct sentence would be:
When we arrived at the trade show, some of our equipment was missing - lost in shipping - but my boss found a store nearby to lease our missing apparatus.
Explanation:
The first word should be when not Hen. Otherwise, there would be two subjects that are not linked and make no sense in the sentence. The correct word is "when" since the sentence is telling what happened to a group of people at a specific moment and place. Also, there should be a comma after the word show. The sentence "When we arrived at the trade show" is an introductory one, so it should have a comma at the end followed by the next sentence.

In Act One, Mr Frank feels he needs to repay the Van Daan family because Mr Van Daan :
A. Aided the frank family when they came to Holland
B. Brought a large supply of food to the hiding place
C. Werner the frank family to hide from the nazis
Answer:
A. Aided the frank family when they came to Holland.
Explanation:
"The Diary of A Young Girl" was written by a young Jewish girl named Anne Frank. This diary, though it covers only a short period of time, would later become one of the most important and evidence for the Nazi's regime under Hitler and their racial discrimination of the Jewish people. And the play "Anne Frank" is based on the life-in-hiding of this girl and her family.
When the Franks first came to Holland in Amsterdam in 1945, they were unable to get by easily due to the language barrier. But Mr. Van Daan helped them, which would become one deciding factor for the Franks to help and allow the Van Daans to be with them in hiding. By allowing them into the hiding place at the Secret Annex, Mr. Frank feels he needed to repay Mr. Van Daan for helping him when he needed help the most and this was his way of doing the same in return.
Thus, the correct answer is option A.

Which of the following are examples of imagery?
“It was plain he was much affrighted”
“I was besmeared with muck and mud, and the green slime that had collected on the surface of the dead water”
“In the edge of the woods I came upon two men, a slave and his young master”
“My clothes were in tatters, my hands, face, and body covered with Scratches”
Answer:
The two quotes that are examples of imagery are:
“I was besmeared with muck and mud, and the green slime that had collected on the surface of the dead water”
“My clothes were in tatters, my hands, face, and body covered with scratches”
Explanation:
Imagery is a literary device that appeals to the five senses. Through imagery, authors can involve readers with their descriptions, having them feel as if they can see, touch, or smell something. Through word choice, authors can create vivid pictures to help readers visualize a scene, as if they were characters in the story.
Among the options given, there are two that use imagery:
“My clothes were in tatters, my hands, face, and body covered with scratches” and
“I was besmeared with muck and mud, and the green slime that had collected on the surface of the dead water”
The word choice in the quotes above help us visualize what the narrator looks like - how dirty and injured he looks, for instance. The other two options, on the other hand, do not use words that convey any description that appeals to the five senses.
According to Reynolds, what’s the flaw in thinking of college graduates as birds ready to spread their wings and take flight?
Answer:
The flaw in that reasoning is that not everyone actually has wings, therefore, they can not even fly in the first place.
Explanation:
Jason Reynolds at his commencement address at Lesley University, in 2018 explained that he was aware that many other speakers before him have encouraged the students to fly and excel in the world. He, however, noted that not all actually had the wings to fly. Some had distorted wings or had totally lost theirs due to several circumstances of life.
At the end of his speech, he urged those who had broad wings to fly to always remember those who do not have wings or who have distorted wings, so that they may carry them along.
