Section A
1. What strikes you about the book? What do you find interesting or significant about the book?
Well what i found interesting in this book is that it has 2 different languages to narrate this book. There is of course english and then the very weird one Nadsat. In the beginning it was hard to understand but when you get farther into the book it is much easier to comprehend and makes the book much more interesting. What strikes me is the fact that the author said in the beginning of the book that he thought this was his worst one. Some of the themes in this book are:
-Police brutality and Violence
-Rape
-Moral Choice
I really do like this book because it's fun trying to find out what the Nadsat words mean and it sometimes has nice twists to the book.
Section B
Some questions i had was when Alex said that he could not be a clockwork orange, why did the scientist stay quiet about it? What do you think was the importance of that dream Alex had when he got drunk?
Big Question:
My big question is when Alex finished his rehabilitation time, was he considered a clockwork orange?
Section C
There many good quotes in this book but the one that stood out to me was this one:
"Goodness comes from within, 6655321. Goodness is something chosen. When a man cannot choose he ceases to be a man." This quote was really interesting because it saying that if a man was forced to choose goodness and not be evil at all the man would no longer be human, which makes him a clockwork orange. Which means that a man is either pure good or pure evil, which of course does not exist in this world.
