Harrison Bergeon Vs. 1984

Harrison Bergeron, every person was unable to display any kind of superiority over anyone else. The strong were weighted down, and the beautiful were forced to wear masks. No one was able to display any kind of talent even if they wanted to do so.

Hawkeyes Character Profile
.... rifle "killdeer" has given him fame and infamy, due to his elite ability to shoot, and the sheer number of enemy tribesmen he has downed.
Hawkeye's friendship with the Mohicans is limited to the fact that only two remain; Chingachgook, and his son Uncas.
