Harrison Bergeron

After reading this story it really gives me a broader view of how Some American's are more advanced and how others can be jealous. The General of America in this story really makes me mad and makes me wish that someone else would have stood up and protected Harrison. I think that the message that is sent through this story implies that equality is not always a good thing. If everyone in the world was equal, life would not be as rewarding as it is meant to be.

After reading this story i have a couple of questions to make this book a little more clear. The first question is: After the narrator published the story, did the someone do something about the child that was being held captive? Also I did not understand why the narrators family began to despise him.
