Vonnegut is trying to make several points, so can fill
your 3 pages up on one or many of the following
topics:
Technology - Clearly Vonnegut is warning us about
the dangers of becoming too reliant on technology and the ways instituations like the
government can control us through technology.
The
importance of individualim - In Vonnegut's fictional society, everyone has been tweaked
to be the same. People's talents are surpressed so they don't stand out and make
other's feel bad. He's expressing the importance of making the most of your talents, as
Harrison attempts to do, rather than stifle
them.
Competition - Vonnegut portrays how bad society would
be if people didn't compete. Competition is essential in any community. He seems to be
concerned about new policies enacted in society such as possibly high school's who don't
allow coaches to cut athletes based on ability or possibly even the idea of Affirmitive
Action.
