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.

I agree! I'm not for aversion therapies either way... even though they aren't available now. The language for me was also very difficult.
ReplyDeleteTotally. I think that what they did to him was wrong. One, they shouldn't have given him the option and two, they shouldn't have tricked him. They knew if they told him in full detail what they were going to do he wouldn't approve. So they tricked him into doing something terrible.
