"Harrison Bergeron" Compare/ Contrast Literary Analysis

After reading "Harrison Bergeron" and watching 2081 (directed by Chandler Tuttle), you are ready to tackle standard RL.7:

Analyze the representation of a subject or a key scene in two different artistic mediums, including what is emphasized or absent in each treatment. 

That seems easy enough. We've already identified some major differences between the two mediums. But what do you analyze? For the purposes of this paper, you may focus on either of these standards to help you with your analysis:

RL.5: Analyze how an author's (or director's) choices concerning how to structure a text, order events within it, and manipulate time (e.g., pacing, flashbacks) create such effects as mystery, tension, or surprise (or changes in mood and tone). 

or

RL.3: Analyze how complex characters develop over the course of a text, interact with other characters, and advance the plot or develop the theme.
