are a metaphor for the severe consequences that accompany equality and government control. Moreover, the author illustrates how equality can render society vapid and emotionless. When Harrison died his mother (Hazel), and father (George) were both incapable of evoking sadness and grief because they don’t have the mental capacity to perform such actions. Lastly, the character's actions are a significant contributor to the tone of the story. Harrison dancing conjures a feeling of excitement and exhilaration while the activities that took place prior to the rebellion are monotonous and dull (i.e., getting beer from the fridge, watching TV, etc.). In conclusion, the emotions of the characters, clothing of the characters, and actions of the characters bring about an acerbic tone.
