Where I’m From
I am from bicycles and skateboards with road scars and twisted ankles
From small brown spinet pianos to green plants that bathe in the warm sunlight
I am from Camden and Milan, the two quietest streets I have ever known
I am from Mammoth Lakes, where the mountains are perfectly reflected in the clear crisp water
Where the night sky appears as though a million pinholes were poked with light shining through
I am from one older brother who taught me to ride a bike without training wheels
and furry four legged animals who taught me about companionship
I am the smell of paperback books and the delicious sweet stench of
kimchi
and
banchan
I am from the freeways of LA and its unrelenting congestions
I am from prayer and love and forgiveness and acceptanceSlide5

Scenarios
An airliner carrying 34 passengers is hurtling out of control towards a densely populated area. As the airplane speeds straight ahead over the ocean water, it is unable to turn its rudders from left to right. It is destined to crash into an urban area unless it is shot down immediately by a fighter plane. There is no time to evacuate the densely populated area and the impact of the plane is certain to kill hundreds of civilians. The only possible move is to shoot down the plane. Should you do it?
Conjoined twins are both certain to die within months unless they are surgically separated. The necessary operation offers excellent prospects of one twin living a reasonably healthy and fulfilled life but will result in the death of the other twin. Do you proceed to do so even if the parents do not give their consent which would inevitably lead to the death of both twins?
Patient Jack, who is an unemployed war veteran, is terminally ill and certain to die within a week. His heart and kidneys are a perfect match for patients Bob and Bill, who are certain to die before him if they do not get the transplants they need but have good prospects of recovery if they do. Patient Bob and Bill are both medical students study to be neurologists and cardiologists respectively. No other donors are available. Patient Jack desires to live out his several days of life left and chooses not to donate his organs immediately to Bob and Bill. The consequences of his decision would lead to the death of Bob and Bill. Do you terminate patient Jack essentially shortening his life by a few days in order to save patients Bob and Bill without Jack’s permission, or do you grant his request and allow Jack to live out his few remaining days?

H.B Symbolism Gallery Walk
Consider the idea that the short story Harrison Bergeron is meant to be a
satire
in which the author, Kurt Vonnegut, is criticizing the society we live in and suggesting we also have flaws much like HB’s society.
As HB reflects (arguably) our society and criticizes it, I want you to identify the
symbols in HB that reflect the flaws
we may or may not have
in our society today
using a critical perspective
.
Consider the passage and how it is anything
similar
to our lives and our society
Write what the
symbol on your sticky note
, and what
flaw it represents
and criticizes from our society.
Importantly, write on your sticky note
whether or not you believe this flaw does exist in our society
. Provide a reason or two to support your response. Slide52
“The music began. It was normal at first-cheap, silly, false. But Harrison snatched two musicians from their chairs, waved them like batons as he sang the music as he wanted it played. He slammed them back into their chairs.
The music began again and was much improved” (Vonnegut).
Symbolism: The musicians playing poorly symbolizes mediocrity in our society and how it is accepted. It also represents people’s reluctance to overachieve and be great at what they do.
My opinion: I believe this is generally true in our society and that mediocrity is dominant because it is simply easier to be average at something. Slide53
Harrison Bergeron Comic Strip
You will create a comic strip

What is Characterization?
The way an individual or character is described through the following:
Direct Characterization
by the Narrator
(“Hazel had a perfectly average intelligence, which meant she couldn’t think about anything except in short bursts.)
Indirect Characterization
through a description of the characters actions or what the character says
(“It was then that Diana Moon
Glampers
, the Handicapper General, came into the studio with a double-barreled ten-gauge shotgun. She fired twice, and the Emperor and the Empress were dead before they hit the floor.”)Slide60
“Harrison Bergeron” Characterization
Each of you will be
assigned an individual
from the story, ‘Harrison Bergeron’ to analyze in terms of how they are
characterized (What are they like? What kinds of handicaps do they have to wear and why or why not?).
In your analysis, you must highlight
4 key/significant passages
from the story that characterize the individual whether by their
handicap, lack of handicap, what they do, what they say, what the narrator says about them)
i.e. “Gee” said Hazel, “I could tell that one was a
doozy
” (Vonnegut)
This shows that Hazel in our society would be considered very less than intelligent. George used the expression, ‘you can say that again’, and Hazel being unintelligent, takes it literally.
i.e. They were burdened with
sashweights
and bags of birdshot, and their faces were masked…” (Vonnegut)
The ballerina dancers are characterized as being beautiful, suggested by their ‘ugly’ masks. They are also shown to be physically exceptionally as they are forced to wear weights on their bodies.

Argument for lowering the drinking age: The argument is that young people who experience drinking at a younger age grow up and learn to be more mature and responsible regarding drinking alcohol, therefore leading to less accidents and mishaps.
A child learns to cross the street by looking both ways and is told this from the day they can walk. As a result, they grow up learning to safely walk about and across streets. If a child were never allowed to cross the street until they were 21 and more ‘independent’ they wouldn’t know to know to look both ways and would very likely get hit by a car. This is in the same way a person who is first allowed to drink at 21…Slide144
