The meaning of freedom

In my opinion the pedestrian and Harrison Bergeron are very similar when it comes to the theme the meaning of freedom. Both of Harrisons and Leonard Mead have very different ideas on how to live there lives then the rest of the world. Harrison doesn't believe in this new way of freedom is wrong and it is completely healthy to have a little competition. And Leonard doesn't want to just sit around the house and watch movies all day. Harrison action was much more extreme than Leonard, because he trys to take over the entire government. Leonard doesn't really do anything about his punishment he just lets the robot car take him away. Freedom is a very confusing word because there are so many different ways you could explain it. Freedom to Harrison is taking off all the handicaps and making it so talented people don't have to be punished anymore, and Leonards way of freedom is jut being able to walk around and not be taken away for love nature. Both stories have different examples of freedom but they both show how the word freedom can affect so many people.
