Which quotation from “harrison bergeron” by kurt vonnegut jr. best develops the theme that attempting to make everyone "equal every which way" is a foolish and dangerous goal? a he began to think glimmeringly about his abnormal son who was now in jail, about harrison,…” b. “a buzzer sounded in george’s head. his thoughts fled in panic, like bandits from a burglar alarm.” c. “if hazel hadn’t been able to come up with an answer to this question, george couldn’t have supplied one.” d. “it wasn’t clear at first as to what the bulletin was about, since the announcer, like all announcers, had a serious speech impediment.”

The quotation from “Harrison Bergeron” by Kurt Vonnegut Jr that best develops the theme that attempting to make everyone "equal every which way" is a foolish and dangerous goal is C.“If Hazel hadn’t been able to come up with an answer to this question, George couldn’t have supplied one.”

In this dystopian story, Hazel, George's wife, suggests him cheating on the law. The law has made George wear ,round his neck, some weights ; he has to be less strong that he is by nature. This is one of the laws enacted by the government to make people equal. As Hazel notices her husband is exhausted , she suggests he take some weights out from the bag round his neck. George refuses to do so and says to Hazel  that if everyone cheated the law, they might go back to the old system where people were different. George asks his wife if she would like that to happen. She cannot answer and he cannot answer either. This inability to answer the question is dangerous because they are forced at the expense of their imposed physical pain  to believe in equality.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
