"Examination Day" by Henry Slesar conveys a cautionary message about the dangers of state control and the suppression of individual talent. The story highlights the fear of a society that views intelligence as a threat, leading to tragic consequences for those who exceed predetermined limits. Through the story’s chilling conclusion, Slesar critiques the harsh realities of conformity and the loss of individuality in the face of oppressive governance. Ultimately, it serves as a warning against the devaluation of intellectual freedom.

Well, honey, Henry Slesar used irony in "Examination Day" by setting up a society where intelligence is valued above all else, only to reveal that the penalty for being too smart is death. Talk about a twisted way to keep the population in check! The irony hits harder than a ton of bricks in this story, leaving readers questioning the true cost of intelligence.
