I like the story. The first thing I notice is that the story happened in 2081, but the author uses past tense in the whole story. I do not figure the reasons out. George and Hazel are the parents of Harrison Bergeron; however, they do not remember anything about this son. We know that Hazel does not have any handicapper on her body, then what happened to her? Does she a retarder, whose intellectual capacity remains undeveloped? If she was the standard, the controlled person, and the norm, then every people in the world would be like her, in order to be equal. That is absolutely ironic. I could sense that everyone in the world act like machine, and they have no differences, have no unique personalities and the talents have been suppressed. The most impressive part is the end of the story. Hazel cried after she watched the death of her own son, but she did not know why. The nature of people has totally lost.
