7) Everyone in this society doesn't really have a personality because they are living under the rules to be equal. No one can think or knows how to do things because they are just an average person and have to stay average or the have handicaps. 

8) Vonnegut is saying that everyone in this world should be equal. To show this he lets the average people stay the same, and makes advanced people wear handicaps. So, people who are prettier than others wear masks, ones who have the ability to think get ear pieces that go off every 20seconds, and people who are stronger than others have to wear weights. In my opinion it didn't make everyone equal be the ones who have to wear handicaps are practically being punished. 

9) I think Harrison would be a better general because he would take all the handicaps off of everyone, he would then probably let people enjoy them selves and let them do what they want. People probably wouldn't know what to do at first but then they would realize what they can do. The ones who are just average would probably start have to gain a knowledge and learn what their strengths are.
