HARRISON BERGERON

Today we will listen to the short story, "HARRISON BERGERON", by Kurt Vonnegut.  Our goal is to begin to identify crucial moments in the story that move the plot forward and some of the themes that emerge from dystopian literature.  Make sure you have your notebook to jot down your thoughts.  I will also give you a copy of the text - there you can annotate using the techniques we used earlier in the year.



Now, 2081, a film version of Harrison Bergeron.  Questions to consider:


  • How does the movie differ from the written story?
  • How are the themes the same? Different?
  • Do you prefer one over the other and why?
