Perhaps the most interesting and yet frustrating thing that I encountered in reading “A Clockwork Orange” is the structure the plot is simple yet hidden by the structure. We are given a young fifteen-year-old boy by the

I enjoyed this novel and I am going to read some other works of Anthony Burgess. This book was very insightful. It is interesting to see what this man though of the world and how the world would be now. It was a challenge to get through this short novel yet a triumph rang with that of the last word, I am upset that Burgess is dead but he has left many books and even something I love which is music, that I think we have in common.

In this novel I ran into a quote that struck at me the way that the color orange strikes you through blackness. After the groups of droogs have stolen a car, Alex says, “The Durango 95 ate up the road like spaghetti.” It struck me because this is such a Macomb book in my perspective and this remark is so juvenile. Yet it reminds you the youths that are involved in the novel. The quote seems out of place. “All right, no more picking on Dim, brother. That’s part of the new way.” “New Way” change, say you? This is the catalyst for war and the bases of revolution. The world or yet men of power do not like change. Neither dose Alex who is in power of his droogs. It is an insight into a mini government.

The quote in which I feel summarizes the ideals of this novel is this "a creature of growth and capable of sweetness," as we see this quote is at the end of the novel. He is a describing human; this will also seem to contradict the evilness that lures in the back of this novel. “Well, everything’s a lesson isn’t it” WOW, this reminds me of a quote by a great actress in which the name escapes me yet these words burn in me being a mediocre actor. “There is no such thing as brilliance only experience” That is what an actor thinks. I can act these parts so well. Can you or can you remember seeing someone. Just like if you truly have original thoughts or have they been feigned by the corruption of others books. “The poisonous young swine who ruined the books on Crystallography, rare books, books not to be obtained ever again, anywhere. This has been evident through out time, form the Christian Spaniards who destroyed the books of the Aztecs astronomy, and the European conquerors who inflicted their ideal upon the rest of the world. This enrages me, because such knowledge has been destroyed!

We are introduced to many characters in “A Clockwork Orange” but the most important are Pete, Georgie, Dim, F. Alexander, The Prison Chaplain, and DR. Brodsky. Georgie- He is the most outgoing of the group. He is the one who started the battle of power within the group. Georgie is killed when the droogs are robbing a man; he is also the one more concerned with money. He is of average build. I would assign him as the one of the antagonist in the novel because he initiates the struggle. Pete- is the most modest of the group, later he settles down with a wife, and later also runs into Alex, this makes Alex question his purpose. He is a protagonist. Dim - Dim is the biggest, the strongest, and the stupidest in Alex's gang. Alex is continually irritated at Dim's vulgarity; when Dim, in his usual foolish way, makes a rude gesture to a woman singing a bit of, Alex gives him a good punch in the mouth. This incident triggers among the gang resentment against Alex's ruling ways and leads to the mutiny that ends in Alex's arrest. Dim becomes a police officer. Big, strong, stupid, and antagonist. F. Alexander - F. Alexander, a young "intelligent type bookman type," as Alex calls him, is a subversive writer, enraged at governmental repression. He is the author of a book called “A Clockwork Orange.” He is entirely committed to his politi
