Question
read the excerpt from \harrison bergeron.\
\all of a sudden you look so tired,\ said hazel. \why dont you stretch out on the sofa, sos you can rest your handicap bag on the pillows, honeybunch.\ she was referring to the forty - seven pounds of birdshot in a canvas bag, which was padlocked around georges neck. \go on and rest the bag for a little while,\ she said. \i dont care if youre not equal to me for a while.\
george weighed the bag with his hands. \i dont mind it,\ he said. \i dont notice it any more. its just a part of me.\
this dialogue between george and hazel portrays george as a
static character because he has accepted societys rules and does not try to challenge them.
dynamic character because he makes sacrifices so that hazel can feel good about herself.
static character because he does not report hazel to the handicapper general for her suggestion.
dynamic character because he needs handicap device to control his strength and intelligence.
A static character does not change or challenge their circumstances, while a dynamic character grows/evolves. George has fully accepted his mandatory handicap, seeing it as part of himself, and refuses to set it aside even when offered, showing he does not push back against society's enforced equality rules. The other options are incorrect: he is not dynamic (no growth/change here), and his inaction is not about reporting Hazel but about embracing the status quo.
