Did
 the 
book 
come 
to 
a
 satisfactory
 closure
 for
 you? 
Why/not?


For me the book ended well. It was different then I thought, which I liked because it surprised me. As I've said, he becomes 'good' but not exactly. He stops doing all of the cude and horrible things because he just doens't want to do them anymore. Aside from it surprising me I also found it relateble, sometimes there are things that I love to do and then I just realize that I just don't like those things as much anymore and I just stop doing them. Alex is going up and has fazes just like everyone else and all of the bad things he did were just a part of his life that he eventually grew out of.
I also really liked the ending. No real reason I just liked how it was written. The attitude it had and how it was just peaceful in a way. Once I finished it, I sat back and it was just like I could relate, even though I couldn't really. Burgess made it seem like, if I wanted to, I probably could be friends with Alex. Which sounds odd, I mean why would I think about being friends with a fictional character, but thats why I liked this book. I wanted to relate just so I could have the peace of mind in knowing that maybe, if this person were real, I would be able friends with Alex. Burgess made him seem real. I've even found myself in certain situations wondering what Alex would do. (haha)



Old Dim

But old Dim, as soon as he's slooshied this dollop of song like a lomtick of redhot meat plonked on his plate, let off one of his vulgarities, which in this case was liptrump followed by a dog-howl followed by two fingers pronging twice at the air followed by a clown guffaw. I felt myself all of a fever and like drowning in redhot blood, slooshying and viddying Dim's vulgarity, and I said: "Bastard. Filthy drooling mannerless bastart." Then I leaned across Georgie, who was between me and horrible Dim, and fisted Dim skrry on the rot. Dim looked very surprised, his rot open, wiping the krovvy off of his goober with his rook and in tirn looking surprised at the red flowing krovvy and at me. "What for did you do that for?" he said in his ignorant wat. Not many viddied what I'd done, and those that viddied cared not. The stereo was on again and was playing a very sick electronic guitar veshch. I said:
"For being a bastard with no manners and not the fook of an idea how to comport yourself publicwaise, O my brother"(Burgess).

After I had read the introduction I thought that the last chapter, when he becomes good, would just be a sudden random change. And that's why I really like this chapter and this passage. It shows that, from an early point in the book there is already some good in him. But at the same time, the way Alex reacts to Dim is really strange, because before they got the bar they had robbed someones house, raped the wife of the house, stolen a car, and pestered a drunk old man. I guess it kind of shows that his envirornment has taken a real tole of the way he leads his life. It kind of makes me wonder, if he were a real person, if he would still be this horrible person with no senserity for mankind. Because from the way he leads his life in the book so far...it seems likes that the kind of person he is.
