1. Describe 3 ways the society in the story makes its citizens equal.

People in society are given handicaps in an attempt equalize members of society. For example, ballerinas are weighted down with sash-weights and bags of birdshot so that their dancing is not too beautiful; George (Harrison's father) is naturally quite intelligent, he must wear a mental handicap radio in his ear; it torments him with a variety of sharp noises every twenty seconds or so, so that he is never able to think too hard, and beauty is disguised.
