Equality of lifeWill Rogers once said: “We will never have true civilization until we learn to recognize the rights of others . » This quote is what we should aspire to in reality, but in Kurt Vonnegut's "Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow", "Harrison Bergeron" and "All the King's Horses" it is the exact opposite of what happens in his stories. In “Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow,” the earth is overpopulated, people live forever, the same politicians have been in power forever, and no one recognizes the rights of others. 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 explains that we are all pawns in the game of life and that man has become a machine. In "Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow", Vonnegut explains that the future might not be as we all hope, that we are not as advanced in technology or space travel as we hope in a future near or far. He also uses irony in this short story when he uses processed seaweed and sawdust as an anti-aging medicine. In "Harrison Bergeron", Vonnegut explains that a utopian society could never function in reality, because people are all unique in every way, we are smarter than others or less intelligent, we are beautiful to some and ugly to others. others, we are fast and we are slow, we are human and humans are not perfect. In “Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow” by Kurt Vonnegut explains that the future may not be the best place to live in as we hope. 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 far worse fate. If Kelly wins, those who survive will be freed; and if he loses, it implies 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 own son, Jerry. . Pi Ying is surprised, but Major Barzov is happy with the decision. Kelly pretends to be horrified by his "mistake" and begs to be able to go back. But Pi Ying falls into the trap and takes the bait. Major Barzov then tells Margaret that her husband has just sentenced her son to death, and she falls down screaming hysterically at Kelly. The girl next to Pi Ying also reacts dramatically.
