Read this passage from "harrison bergeron" by kurt vonnegut, jr.:
it was tragic, all right, but george and hazel couldn't think
about it very hard. hazel had a perfectly average
intelligence, which meant she couldn't think about anything
except in short bursts. and george, while his intelligence
was way above normal, had a little mental handicap radio
in his ear. he was required by law to wear it at all times. it
was tuned to a government transmitter. every twenty
seconds or so, the transmitter would send out some sharp
noise to keep people like george from taking unfair
advantage of their brains.

After doing research, write an outline for a paper about an american author of your choice. remember to organize your outline according to the degree of importance that each idea holds. from that outline, write an essay of at least 500 words. remember to check your essay for errors. include your outline above the actual essay. replace the heading with your own original title. credit your sources using a manual of style such as: the american psychological association, the chicago manual of style, or the modern language association. ask your teacher which format is preferable. the difference in these styles is in the order the material is presented in each entry and the punctuation required. most papers in high schools use the modern language association.
