Think about the core ideas (themes, motifs, lessons) of Harrison Bergeron:
1) Equality/Egalitarianism (Is total equality salutary or detrimental for a society? Is it fair?)
2) Utopian Societies (Are perfect societies achievable or just idealistic? In reality, would utopian
societies work or just be anti-utopias?)
3) Handicaps of Technology (How do material items affect society [the TV]?)
4) Freedom (Exactly what is freedom and how do we obtain it? Does perfect equality really
encourage freedom or hinder it?)
5) Individuality (How does total equality take away from the individuality of the society and
homogenize it? Why is individuality [and inequality] import to society? Does society benefit
from different "classes" of people with different skills?)
6) Competition (How does competition advance society? How does a lack of competition affect
society?)
Those are all the core themes I can think of. By answering any of these questions your
developing a thesis statement. Depending on your answer to the question and how you prove
your thesis, you can write a paper. Hope this helps!
