Question 3 • FT English 12 (E.Ola) - Quarter 3 - WHS
Read the excerpt from "Harrison Bergeron."“I think I’d make a good Handicapper General.”“Good as anybody else,” said George.“Who knows better’n I do what normal is?” said Hazel.How does the dialogue develop Hazel’s character?
Answer
A
It depicts her as a round character because she is looking to change her career.
B
It depicts her as a flat character because she represents the stereotype of perfectly average intelligence.
C
It depicts her as a round character because she is good at something, which makes her better than her peers.
D
It depicts her as a flat character because she is unclear about what normal means.
Explanation
Hazel’s claim that she knows what “normal” is shows that she accepts the society’s idea of average without questioning it. Her simple, stereotypical way of thinking supports her characterization as a flat character who represents average intelligence. The dialogue does not show her changing or developing in a complex way, so she is not round.
