After reading “Harrison Bergeron,” WHICH HAS BEEN PROVIDED FOR YOU, write an essay that discusses this question and evaluates the pros and cons of “lifting up.” Be sure to support your position with evidence from the text.
This essay requires that you include quotes/paraphrases from the story along with in-text citations and a works cited page.

The essay must be a minimum of 500 words.
