”In Harrison Bergeron, Vonnegut uses noun-verb as the pattern when he writes “Harrison tore…Harrison thrust…Harrison smashed.” The reader gets a sense of rhythm in the use of parallel structure here; also, Vonnegut’s choice to use the proper noun, Harrison, repeatedly instead of the pronoun “he” puts emphasis on Harrison himself.
