A clockwork orange by Antony burges 1962 genre: sifi
What makes "A Clockwork Orange" tick
A clock work orange takes place in a dystopian future of britan were youth vilence is a major problem sound. In this we open to our main character Alex and his "droogs" gorgie,Pete,and Dim. In this future there are gang among gangs of teens and adolescents who are just among the most brutal people. But I bet your saying what are "droogs" and Why is Alex talking weird we'll they have a way of speak that is very complicated and hard to understand called "hadscat". But the setting is London in the near future and the conflict is an internal and external strugal.
"'What's going to be then, eh?'
There was me, that is Alex, and my three droogs, that is Pete, Georgie, and Dim, dim being really dim, and we sat in the Korova Milkbar making up rassoodocks what to do with the evening, a flip dark chill winter bastard through dry." (the beginning of A Clockwork Orange)
The writing style of the book is a very mixed way of writing for me it was VERY poetic and at the same time it was very hard to understand because again of Alex's hadscat way of speak I give an example instead of saying "he was a very crazy man and that's why I liked him" he would say something "that bloke has a wibly wobbley wishy washy mind then again I enjoyed that"
Now about Anthony burgess I thought he was a very creative writer I liked him I would really like to recommend him but in this book it's very hard to understand he has written more than 11 books in his career but his most famous and most controversial is "a clockwork orange"
a personal story about a clock orange is the way i found it i was on youtube like i usually am and i decided to go to my favorite book review channel and they were reviewing “to ten books that turned into movies” and number 2 was “a clockwork orange” and then i read the book and watched to movie and it was great i would give it a 3 out of 5 i personally lived it but its ultra violent ultra dirty and ultra weird but its ultimately a goor read
3 paws pursue it.
