Below is my thesis statement for my Literary Analysis paper. Keep in mind that this is just a rough draft and is no where near presentable as yet. So please be nice with whatever comment you may leave. Respect is given where respect is shown...enjoy!

A dystopia is a world’s failed attempt at perfection. Universal peace, structure, and equality are all characteristics of a utopian society; which is realistically unattainable. Utopia’s are usually destroyed by greed, hypocrisy, and misuse of power. In Kurt Vonnegut’s Harrison Bergeron, the ruler in the story is referred to as the Handicapper General. The Handicapper General envisions a world of equality. Anyone considered exceptional was forced to wear a device that brought him or her down to below average intelligence, strength, and ability. By taking away their thoughts and opinions, the Handicapper General obtained the power of taking complete control of their lives. Amongst the chaos, one person refused to become a slave to the government’s absurd methods of control. Harrison Bergeron became a martyr for freedom of expression and individuality. This story is a strong reminder of the famous saying, “ If you don’t stand for something, you will fall for anything.”
