Thursday, September 30

Today, we looked again at the idea of irony.

We discussed the concept of fairness and the idea that, in America, "all men are...equal."

We read the short story "Harrison Bergeron", by Kurt Vonnegut. The story is about a future America. In 2081, the US government has placed handicaps on the citizens in order to make everyone equal.

We will have a class discussion on this short story tomorrow.
