Claim: Everyone was equal in every single way. Not one person stood out from one another.
Quote: "The year was 2081, and everybody was finally equal. They weren't only equal before God and the law. They were equal every which way. Nobody was smarter than anybody else. Nobody was better looking than anybody else. Nobody was stronger or quicker than anybody else."
Commentary: This quote tells us that everyone had lost specific traits that made them stand out from everyone else. They all had the same traits, the same brain capacity, and the same strength. In order to do this, some people had handicaps.
Claim: The handicaps were not successful on everyone.
Quote: "Harrison tore the straps of his handicap harness like wet tissue paper, tore straps guaranteed to support five thousand pounds.
Harrison's scrap-iron handicaps crashed to the floor.
Harrison thrust his thumbs under the bar of the padlock that secured his head harness. The bar snapped like celery. Harrison smashed his headphones and spectacles against the wall.
He flung away his rubber-ball nose, revealed a man that would have awed Thor, the god of thunder."
Commentary: This quote obviously tells us about how Harrison broke free from his handicaps. It seemed as if the handicaps did not affect him at all. Harrison was still able to think, use his eyes, and stand with all of his handicaps, all of which were supposed to be very strong and controlling.
