Free write 3
hey what do you know im totoally free writing again. Im stupid exhausted and all I want to do is sleep. I almostwrecked twice on the way to class. partly becacuse perople are retarded, and partly because I fell asleep at a light. I know I really shouldnt drive when Im this tired but what the eff am I suposed to do about it. I dont know why I even asked that question. Typing is really difficult for me lately because I have been haveing this weird thing where my hands shake and i drop stuff, or cant pick things uop right. I hope its nothing serious. I would be Disapointed if i got one of those silly ndegernerative nerve diseases or something. I think my life would end. Dramatic!!!

Free Write 2
im suposed to be free writing and i started late. I was waiting for someone to saY GO. AND THAT DIDNT HAPPEN. so, anyways battlestar galactica rocks my face of, and i really want to dress up as one of the charaters at some point, maybe halloween. but this year im going to dress as a porcelan doll for halloween. It suits me perfectsly. ive had numerouspeople tell me my skin looks like porcelean. My former coworker als called me her porcelean doll. kind creepy, but I guess thats what you get when you avoid the siun and hev pasty white skin. one thing is for sure, ill lookk much better that those orange girls running around when im older, tanning agaes people so much. speaking of looking good when youre older whats wrong with just a wee bit of botox when im 50?

Harrison Bergeron
Kurt Vonnegut is the author of the essay “Harrison Bergeron”, an outrageous story about a futuristic world where everyone is equal and required by law to alter their selves if they are above average. Although this is an entertaining story, Vonnegut is suggesting that people are persuaded into thinking that the handicaps are needed, even though they affect people negatively. The author tells that George Bergeron must wear a handicap radio in his ear that makes a startling sound every few seconds to keep him from being more intelligent than others. However, Vonnegut writes that the sound in Georges` ear was “such a doozy that George was white and trembling, and tears stood on the rims of his red eyes.” (294) When Georges` wife notices he is not feeling well she suggests that he take off his handicap for a short time, in which case George replies saying “If I tried to get away with it, then other people`d get away with it and pretty soon we`d be right back to the dark ages again, with everybody competing against everybody else. You wouldn`t like that would you?” (295) In essence Vonnegut is expressing that even though George is affected negatively, he still insists on wearing his handicap because he believes it is the law, and for the better of humanity.
