How does Kurt Vonnegut address the concept of equality differently in “Harrison Bergeron” than Martin Luther King Jr. does in “Letter from Birmingham Jail”? What relationship does Vonnegut’s story show between equality and personal freedom/individual achievement? What relationship does King’s letter show between these things? How are the two works similar, and how are they different? Use examples from the texts to support your response. Write at least five sentences.

Question

If you could help and explain this to me.

Answer 1

You need to define these terms, not with your own understanding of them, but by stating how these authors defined each one:

Vonnegut:
~ equality
~ personal freedom
~ individual achievement

King
~ equality
~ personal freedom
~ individual achievement

Once you have clarified for yourself how each writer defined these terms, you'll be ready to tackle the rest of the assignment.

Let us know what you come up with.
