Harrison Bergeron
The narrative is delivered from a third-person perspective, emphasizing the perils of a totalitarian government that inflicts suffering and death to enforce uniformity in mental and physical capacities.
The mood is rather calm in the beginning, Its almost sad but near the ending it gets very much intense.
Setting
The setting takes place in a ballet theatre, and George and Hazels home.

Text-Self
A text to text connection I can make is how George was feeling throughout the story. He was kind of one note, I think I would be as confused and tired as him if I was put in the same position.
Text-Text
This story very much reminds me of Divergent. In Divergent you can only be in one of five factions. This reminds me of Harrison Bergeron since everyone there is more or less the same, making it similar to Divergent.
