Hey gang!
Today we started studying Kurt Vonnegut - my favorite author! We're reading "Harrison Bergeron," a strange story about a communist dystopia. While some might read the story as a satire on communism, others interpret it as a satire on our nation's misunderstanding of the word "equality."
As a WWII, ex-Prisoner of War, veteran, Vonnegut's philosophical beliefs are fairly anti-war, anti-bigotry, pro-equality, pro-social welfare. We're going to study how his philosophical beliefs manifest themselves into his writing.
