Harrison Bergeron

First of all, I enjoyed this story because it is a reflexion about how will societies be in the future, and, if they will be like the one describes in the story it makes you think if a a perfect, ordered, controlled society is really possible to achieve.
This story, more than being a good work of science fiction, talks about rebelion, inconformity, about making aside the routine world to make one's own fate. Even if in the story the rebelion was not fully achieved, that action may be a decisive factor for the story which could happen after the written ending, because maybe after everyone saw Harrison reveal himself before all the spectators eyes, they would be able to see that they can change their handicapped condition. I think that if people from that time appliedwhat they had read in the story, maybe it wasn't but unconsciously but it was in that time (we are talking about the decade of the 60's) when most of the social movements took place all around the world (student's movements, the hippie movement, the movements for women's rights, etc.).
As I see it, I think this writer was trying to express his feelings about the world situation in the time the story was written. I think he was against all of the government's procedures and measures it used to keep the population under control so they would not have more politic troubles than they had in that time.
Generalizing, I think it is a good story, it is well narrated, it is very detailed, it captures the readers' attention from the very begginig to the last word of the end, and even when it finishes, it leaves with the doubt of "what will happen next?, will more and more people reveal themselves?, will it be a mass rebelion of the skilled people so they can defeat H-G and the whole government?,etc.". Also, for finishing this text, I noticed that the author gives very limited clues for predicting the ending, so it involves you more and more in the story and that makes read carefully so you can catch all of the details the writer leaves for us to perceive and, furtherly, comprehend the story even better than if someone just read it without paying attention to it.
