The summary on Amazon says "In Anthony Burgess's nightmare vision of the future, where criminals take over after dark, the story is told by the central character, Alex, who talks in a brutal invented slang that brilliantly renders his and his friends' social pathology. A Clockwork Orange is a frightening fable about good and evil, and the meaning of human freedom. When the state undertakes to reform Alex—to "redeem" him—the novel asks, "At what cost?"]]> 2016-10-17 17:36:02 UTC https://padlet.com/gcarey3/ujppyrbnvysi/wish/131244210 gcarey3 https://padlet.com/gcarey3/ujppyrbnvysi/wish/131247319 I really liked reading Fight Club and I heard that they were very close in the premise of the book so I decided to read it. I also heard that it was a very controversial book and I love thinking about controversial topics.]]> 2016-10-17 17:44:05 UTC https://padlet.com/gcarey3/ujppyrbnvysi/wish/131247319 gcarey3 https://padlet.com/gcarey3/ujppyrbnvysi/wish/131248393 Max is a hard working student at Bishop Kelly. He is currently unemployed and lives with his parents. He tries to work hard but procrastinates way to much]]> 2016-10-17 17:46:33 UTC https://padlet.com/gcarey3/ujppyrbnvysi/wish/131248393 gcarey3 https://padlet.com/gcarey3/ujppyrbnvysi/wish/132693526 Ruthless

What's it going to be then, eh?
My three droogs,
milk plus something else,
peet it with vellocet,
milk with knives in it.

What's it going to be then, eh?
Viddy him swim in his blood,
but, as they say,
money isn't everything,
o my brothers.

What's it going to be then, eh?
Hororshow filthy fighter,
you were not put on this earth just to get in touch with God,
that sort of thing could sap all the strength and goodness,
o my little brother.

What's it going to be then, eh?
You really disappoint me,
brother, you do really,
you deserve to be taught a lesson, brother,
you naughty old veck you.

What's it going to be then, eh?
Then three of us went in,
like a veck who'd been in a fight,
stealing and roughing,
two hospitalizations.

Badness is of the self, the one, the you or me on our oddy knockies, and that self is made by old Bog or God and is his great pride and radosty. But the not-self cannot have the bad, meaning they of the government and the judges and the schools cannot allow the bad because they cannot allow the self. And is not our modern history, my brothers, the story of brave malenky selves fighting these big machines?  (Burgess 31-32).

This is very important because Alex talks about how everyone has evil in them so the government shouldn't try and stop them. This thinking allows Alex to do unspeakable things without thinking twice.]]> 2016-10-31 03:30:19 UTC https://padlet.com/gcarey3/ujppyrbnvysi/wish/134132596 gcarey3 https://padlet.com/gcarey3/ujppyrbnvysi/wish/134185718 "What's it going to be then, eh?" (Burgess 4).

This question comes up throughout the book. It shows Alex's state of mind and that he questions what he is going to do next, so he does have some capability of controlling his own actions. This means the things he does he does on purpose]]> 2016-10-31 12:12:40 UTC https://padlet.com/gcarey3/ujppyrbnvysi/wish/134185718 gcarey3 https://padlet.com/gcarey3/ujppyrbnvysi/wish/134188223 "...brothers" (Burgess 35).

You can find this on almost any page of the book. He calls everyone brother as if he has a fondness for everyone. He calls his good friends his brothers the most often meaning those are the people closest to him.]]> 2016-10-31 12:22:42 UTC https://padlet.com/gcarey3/ujppyrbnvysi/wish/134188223 gcarey3 https://padlet.com/gcarey3/ujppyrbnvysi/wish/135783658 Oh my brothers. I have been captured. The millicents have taken me. They purpose I bloodied up some veck and his family real horrorshow like. Of course I did but they didn't viddy it so how would they know. Now I am off to the rozz-shop. They say they are going to "correct me" I am yet to understand what that means. I just want some nadsat to viddy. My brothers are poogly and pyahnitza, not a good couple. ]]> 2016-11-07 14:40:54 UTC https://padlet.com/gcarey3/ujppyrbnvysi/wish/135783658 gcarey3 https://padlet.com/gcarey3/ujppyrbnvysi/wish/139110509 I chose Jail Bars as the artifact because one he is in jail and two he was stripped of a major right. He now doesn't have the right to make his own decisions. He is stuck in jail and they are doing correctional therapy to "fix" his brain.]]> 2016-11-21 14:57:40 UTC https://padlet.com/gcarey3/ujppyrbnvysi/wish/139110509 gcarey3 https://padlet.com/gcarey3/ujppyrbnvysi/wish/140185815 "What's it going to be then, eh?" (Burgess 132).
Alex says this quote many times, but this is the first time after being "corrected". He regains his ability to think and do wrong things after being in prison. This is big for him because in prison he couldn't even think about doing bad things. He gets back to his droogs and his life is back to normal.
