Read the excerpt from "Harrison Bergeron." “That’s all right—” Hazel said of the announcer, “he tried. That’s the big thing. He tried to do the best he could with what God gave him. He should get a nice raise for trying so hard.” How do Hazel’s comments help Vonnegut develop his critique of American society? They illustrate the absurdity of trying to make everyone equal. They emphasize the importance of having compassion for others. They emphasize the importance of doing one’s best. They illustrate the need for laws that enforce equality.
