"Harrison Bergeron"

     In, "Harrison Bergeron," the government has complete control of people. George and Hazel Bergeron had their son Harrison taken away from them when he was young. He got taken away because he wasn't normal, so the government said. He was very smart, had good looks, strength, and great sight. He was imprisoned and handicapped. His handicaps were headphones to take away from his thinking, scrap metal to take away from his looks, and glasses to impair his vision. He broke out of jail and showed people what it was like without all the handicaps.
     Harrison had his life taken because he stood up for what he believed in. In today's world punishments aren't that harsh, and we have the right to stand up for what we believe in. We worry about getting picked on due to our individuality. How unique is exactly too unique? Should you try not to be unique at all? I personally don't think you should change you, you have reasons for being like you are. You can be unique without people thinking your weird. There is always a group that you can fit into. It may take some time, and you may feel like your not making progress, but you will find friends who have simular interest or personalities.
     I believe you can avoid being picked on for your uniqueness and still be unique. It is definatly possible. Choosing to stay out of the unbullied group doesn't mean you still can't be your own unique self. It is more important to be yourself and feel comfortable than it is being just like everyone else. I personally don't like to have people that are just like me around. You should always be unique. It was really wrong for the government to control people.
