I have a question that requires me to choose 3 of the novels I have read from the term. Each one of my choices is supposed to be from one of the different literary periods we researched throughout the semester. All I need to know is if "Harrison Bergeron" would be considered from the modern or contemporary period. Any help?

I would tend to agree based on the pure nature of the story but I just realized that it's in the "Contemporary Edition" section of the course.  Thank you very much for the help regardless.
