Critiques of American Society in Science Fiction

Question 3 • GA-GSE English Language Arts 11 B

How does Vonnegut use satire to explore ideas about fairness? Check all that apply.

Answer
A
by proposing a way to correct the problem
B
by exaggerating and distorting reality
C
by creating a dystopian society

Explanation

In “Harrison Bergeron,” Vonnegut satirizes the pursuit of equality by exaggerating the use of handicaps and showing a society where everyone is forced to be alike. This distorted, dystopian world exposes how attempts to enforce fairness can become oppressive. He does not propose a practical way to correct the problem, so A does not apply.
