Quick Write:
No there will never be true equality. There's always going to be social class, differences and people who are just stereotypical or racist. I think some people may want true equality and some people don't. Equality means everything is equal so some might want that and other might want to have and flaunt their differences.
Utopian Society:
It will be a place of relaxation. There would be no racism. Everyone can feel free to be themselves without getting judged. Everyone would get alone. There would be no violence.
Final Reflection:
The Mindset of the United States in 2081 is Fixed. They allow the government to make their every decision, they do not push through to make a change. Vonnegut is trying to tell us that equality should remain a political thing. It should be personal. Everyone is entitled to be different. I agree with him 100% This story relates to mindset because it shows people with fixed mindset but Harrison and the Ballerina rebelled against it. They wanted to grow and they weren't going to let anyone stop them.

And highly ironic that Harrison, in his rebellion against "equality" wants to be the emperor, don't you think?
ReplyDeleteWell organized and thoughtful. No need to capitalize ballerina--it's not a proper name.
