Harrison Gerberon

2.- Harrison was tired of being trated like a bad person only because he is handsome and inteligent. He got on his nerves and then he reveals, he was tired of hearing the sound of his earphone.. he couldn't think!!
I admired Harrison because he had the value of showing that he disagreed of the way the government limited all the people.

3.- I feel so sorry for Hazel and George because for example, Hazel watched in T.V. how his son was being killed but she couldn't understand it.
It is awful to see how they didn't noticed that they didn't have a son anymore.
Hazel was crying but she didn't remember why and the worse part is that George told her to forget it, she should not remember bad things so she agreed and then they return to their "normal" life again, the sound George heard was the center of conversation again!!
How could they live like that?

-George really didn't have a handicap in that literal meaning. He was very intelligent, I think more than Diana, and it is unfair to read that he is controlled in that way.
He is frightened of competing again like in past times but it is insane not to do it.
I wish he could reveal as Harrison.

-Hazel is normal because she is like a fool woman, she was born like that and she was unable to think by herself so she didn't represent any danger for government. She was free of using earphones with horrible sounds, her brain didn't think like a normal person so as she can't reason she had a "perfectly average intelligence"

-Harrison was a brave man, he had the courage that nobody had, the courage to reveal against government without caring all the security. He enjoyed the moment in which he had the freedom to dance and almost kiss the ciling, also had the pleasure to kiss a beautiful woman.
I think he died happy.

5.- Societies must not be controlled because someone will always reveal, that's why countries' independences were made.
For example, when elections are made in countries the government try to distract people with many things like soccer or free concerts, so the people wouldn't think about the candidates.
