Post for Friday 26th

This week when discussing A clockwork orange we mostly talked about the aversion therapies and if they should be a choice for prisoners, I don't agree with them, i think that once the crime is committed they should be punished with really no other options, suffer the consequences. Wanted to do the crime still but not being able to is still not being changed, and he should not be out in the public. if there was a such aversion therapy who would get to choose if a person should get the therapy. Should families choose or should the prisoner get to choose. I personally think neither!

I also think that the language in the book leads to violence, i believe its a violent slang as apposed to in Feed the slang is more just whats hip and not so much violence. When reading A Clockwork Orange the slang not only makes it difficult it makes it almost scary. The language even though we don't know what they are saying until we look it up just sounds violent.

Post Friday the 19

When reading A Clockwork Orange there were many mixed emotions developed. Most of reading left me wanting to stop because i was so disgusted with the violence but at the same time I needed to know the outcome. I really like the in class activity that made us express our opinions towards violence, and the media today. I think that it was interesting to hear everyone's point of views on the various subjects and to try to look at things from a different point of view. The ones that were most interesting were the topics that rose the most controversy. My favorite was the one asked about child violence and punishment. I think that a crime is a crime and that at a young age children learn right from wrong, and that they know there are often consequences for their actions. A good example is when a child throws a toy at another kid, they know they will get put in time out or some sort of consequence. If a child knows right from wrong then they know not to commit crimes and should be punished the same as an adult that knows right from wrong.
