Quindlen links the conclusion to the introduction of her essay with the words "like many improbable ideas, when it works, it's a wonder", which is very close to her claim in the overall text, "America is an Improbable idea", it isn't supposed to work but it does despite all of the differences, specifically racial or ethnic, within it.

Studentka2010 [4]

Answer :

In the given excerpt from the short story "Harrison Bergeron," Hazel’s comments help Vonnegut develop his critique of American society by illustrating the absurdity of trying to make everyone equal.

"Harrison Bergeron" has been written as a satire to critique the people's claims of equality in every sense. Cambridge English Dictionary defines "satire" as "a way of criticizing people or ideas in a humorous way, especially in order to make a political point, or a piece of writing that uses this style."

The following lines from the text support this idea :

"The year was 2081, and everybody was finally equal.  They weren't only equal before God and the law.  They were equal every which way.  Nobody was smarter than anybody else.  Nobody was better looking than anybody else.  Nobody was stronger or quicker than anybody else.  All this equality was due to the 211th, 212th, and 213th Amendments to the Constitution, and to the unceasing vigilance of agents of the United States Handicapper General."

In his short story "Harrison Bergeron," Kurt Vonnegut stresses that suppression of individual creativity and talent is required in order to achieve absolute equality in every sense. He makes the point that everyone is not equal. Some people have below average intelligence, some people have average intelligence and some have superior intelligence. It is totally absurd to expect a person of superior intelligence to wear handicaps to make people with average intelligence feel better.

Mother to Mother is a book based on real life event happened back in 1993. The book is written by Sindiwe Magona. Amy Biehl was killed a few yards away from her home. She came to South Africa to study. She was murdered by Mxolisi, the narrator's son. The book is written in epistolary form by Mandisa to Amy's mother.

<u>Mandisa is correct in saying that her son, Mxolisi is a product of his own environment. Mxolisi himself chose the environment where people, who radicalized him before the crime were the same who shamed him after the crime. Mxolisi joined the Young Lions group, who was responsible for circling The Girl's car, which led Mxolisi to murder her.</u>
