One of the similarity shared between my family and the short story’s family involves points of view. Every one has a different point of view on everything. That is a main thing in the “Harrison Bergeron” story and its a main thing in my family as well. In the “Harrison Bergeron” story Harrison doesn't like the government and their handicaps at all. His father George thinks that the handicaps are needed and he believes without them they would go back to the dark ages. Hazel which is Harrison mother sort of wants to break the rules a little for the comfort of her husband and just do it at home but George completely disagrees. To me this shows that hazel and George symbolize a loving mother and the heavy lifting father.

Churchman describes going from pulling freight and stocking to becoming the greeter as,” I thought, I don’t know if I can handle that. I don’t know if I can be effervescent all the time”
