harrisons scrap - iron handicaps crashed to the floor.

what do harrisons words and actions reveal about his character?

○ he wants to become like the handicapper general and have absolute power.
○ he wants to rebel against the law and show off his true self.
○ he wants to force everyone to appreciate music and dancing.
○ he wants to make the people watching television fear for their lives.

Explanation:

Harrison declares himself emperor and violently tears off his government-mandated handicaps, which are designed to suppress his natural abilities. His words and actions are an open rebellion against the oppressive laws that force equality by limiting talent, and in doing so, he reveals his true, powerful self rather than seeking to replicate the Handicapper General's power, focus on music/dance, or instill fear as primary goals.

Answer:

He wants to rebel against the law and show off his true self.
