He suggests that total equality is not an ideal worth striving for, as many people believe, but a mistaken goal that is dangerous in both execution and outcome.

The beautiful must wear hideous masks or disfigure themselves, the intelligent must listen to them. The outcome of this quest for equality is disastrous. America becomes a land of cowed, stupid,

To emphasize television’s overwhelming importance in society, he uses it throughout the story. Television is used as a primary source. Even the government uses it to enforce law.

Answer:

The five words I would use to describe "Harrison Bergeron" are dystopian, fiction, government controlling, irony, and satire.

Explanation:

I chose these five words because those are the things that stand out to me the most! I chose dystopian beause it is obvious that this story takes place in the future. I chose the word fiction becuase again it's very obvious that this is not true or happening in the real world. The next word I use is government controlling. In this story, the government takes control and makes everyone "equal." Next up is irony and satire. These two go together because the government says they are trying to make everyone equal, but by restricting people they cant be their individual selves.
