NOTES:

“Every twenty seconds or so, the transmitter would send out some sharp noise to keep
people like George from taking unfair advantage of their brains.”
• Using their brain is seen as an unfair advantage and it’s not “equal”.
If people are equal why only people like George hear the noises?

• Ballerinas are considered beautiful and talented in a physical way so they burdened
with putting a mask on and sash weights.
• The ballerina who adet he speech also apologized because she used her “unfair” vocie
when she first started talking.
• Harrison was originally put in jail because he was suspected of plotting to
overthrow the government. Now that Harrison has escaped, the government is
searching for him because they believe him to be a threat to the government as a
whole and to society's current state of "equality."
• Hazel cried twice, and forgot why she was crying twice.
• There are no handicaps on Hazel because she represents 2081 America's
idea of equality. ... Meanwhile, Hazel's husband George's intelligence is "way
above normal," so he received mental handicaps in his ears. In general, the
intellectually and athletically elite tend to be the models for social behavior.
