Short Story Literary Element

     In Harrison Bergeron the most important literary element was setting,the United States in 2081. It is the most important literary element because the story was about a family who had to wear handicaps and since that type of situation had to be in the future the story would have made no sense otherwise. Also, with the story towards the ends of our lives and in the USA it impresses to us what our generation is capable of, and how much we could mess up.
