Equality of LifeWill Rogers once said "We will never have true civilization until we have learned to recognize the rights of others." This quote is what we should aspire to in reality, but in “Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow”, “Harrison Bergeron” and “All the King's Horses” by Kurt Vonnegut this is exactly the opposite of what happens in his stories. In “Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow”, the earth is overcrowded, people live forever, the same politicians have been in power forever and no one recognizes each other's rights. In “Harrison Bergeron” the American people don't even have any rights; they are “equal” in all aspects of life and in “All the King's Horses” people are used as chess pieces and not as human beings. Kurt Vonnegut's writing style is satirical and conveys underlying messages about human nature and current society. In “All the King's Horses,” Vonnegut talks about how we are all pawns in the game of life and how man has become like a machine. In “Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow” Vonnegut talks about how the future may not be what we all hope it will be, that we are not as advanced in technology or space travel as we hope to be in the near or distant future. He also uses irony in this story when he uses processed seaweed and sawdust as an anti-aging drug. In “Harrison Bergeron” Vonnegut talks about how a utopian society could never work in reality since people are all unique in every way, we are smarter than others or less intelligent, we are beautiful for some and ugly for others, we are fast and we are slow, we are human and humans are not perfect. In Kurt Vonnegut's "Tomorrow and Tomorrow" he talks about how the future may not be as good a place to live as we hope it will be. The f...... middle of paper ... they must do what Colonel Kelly tells them to do, and if they are caught by his chess pieces, they will be killed quickly and mercifully. If they try to escape or disobey, they will suffer a much worse fate. If Kelly wins, those who survive will be freed; and if he loses, it is implied that they will all be killed. Later in the game Kelly sees that he can win the game if he can convince Pi Ying to move his knight, but to do so he must sacrifice his son, Jerry. . Pi Ying is surprised, but Major Barzov is satisfied with the decision. Kelly pretends to be horrified by his "mistake" and begs to be allowed to cancel the move. But Pi Ying falls for the trick and takes the bait. Major Barzov then tells Margaret that her husband has just sentenced her son to death, and she falls over screaming hysterically at Kelly. The young girl next to Pi Ying also reacts dramatically.
