Quote #7
The rest of Harrison's appearance was Halloween and hardware. (44)
As if a seven-foot-tall fourteen-year-old with anger-management issues wasn't scary enough, now we've got a sort of Halloween costume going on. Another brief description by Vonnegut: one word that carries tons of meaning (just like Harrison carries tons of scrap metal).
Quote #8
Ordinarily, there was a certain symmetry, a military neatness to the handicaps issued to strong people, but Harrison looked like a walking junkyard. (45)
Smart: the government knows that people judge based on appearances, so they go out of their way to make Harrison look like a "junkyard." Way to play to people's worst impulses, government.
Quote #9
To offset [Harrison's] good looks, the H-G men required that he wear at all times a red rubber ball for a nose, keep his eyebrows shaved off, and cover his even white teeth with black caps at snaggle-tooth random. (46)
Harrison doesn't have to wear a mask; he gets dressed up like a grotesque clown. It's almost like the Handicapper General wants to make an example out of him and humiliate him to the public.
