Government
*In Harrison Bergeron the government made it so everybody has equal intelligence and strength. The government wanted everyone to be safe from one another.So they made everyone equal. They felt the need to protect so they made very strict rules.
*In the Book Thief the people got more freedom if they were higher up in the government
*In the Hunger Games the government (Capitol) had complete control. They made all the rules and decided what profession your district did. They made people do certain things. The districts had no control.
Language
*In Harrison Bergeron he used strong words to get in control. He had a certain tone of voice that let him get into control. If he talked softly he wouldn’t have any control.
Culture
*This story reminds me of the revolutionary war because of the high taxes and the government ruling all of the americans choices even though they lived far away.
