Answer:

He has a negative attitude towards the society he describes.

Step-by-step explanation:

The author in Harrison Bergeron described the American society, where the events in the story he related occurred, in a negative light. The society is seen as a mean one where handicaps are placed on people with outstanding abilities.

The 14-year-old Harrison Bergeron who dared to challenge such a mean government when he stormed a television studio and removed his handicaps as well as that of a ballerina was eliminated by Diana Moon Glampers who oversaw the installation of handicaps.
