Question

which sentence best describes george bergeron’s characterization in harrison bergeron?
○ he is a static character, because he has become dehumanized by government controls.
○ he is a dynamic character, because he becomes angry with the police for arresting his son.
○ he is a static character, because he has average intelligence.
○ he is a dynamic character, because he attempts to remove that bag that carries his handicap radio device.

Explanation:

A static character does not change throughout a story. George Bergeron accepts the government's enforced handicaps and never challenges the system; his dehumanized state from constant government control remains consistent, making him static. The other options are incorrect: he does not show lasting anger or meaningful change (ruling out dynamic character claims), and his average intelligence is not the core reason for his static characterization.

Answer:

A. He is a static character, because he has become dehumanized by government controls.
