Welcome Post

Greetings, welcome to my classic novel study blog! We’ve all wondered what the future would be like, we’ve thought about what society might be like down the road a ways. Would people fly around in spaceships? Would robots walk with man? Would the police be able to read our thoughts? Would a nuclear war destroy life as we know it? Or possibly the world is taken over and run by one single man. Governments could change from a democratic state to a fascist state. Or society implodes on itself overnight. The future is completely unknown to us, but we all see it in our own unique way. A Clockwork Orange is the future as Anthony Burgess sees it.
 This blog will explore the dynamic world of Anthony Burgess' "A Clockwork Orange". In this blog I will thoroughly investigate and gain critical understanding of this classic novel. We will try to see through the eyes of young Alex and his droogs in the ultra-violent, futuristic realm of northern England as they stalk the dark winter night. In this blog I will provide personal commentaries and opinions, biographical reviews and resource links. Along with cultural, historical context of the novel and themes/motifs of Anthony Burgess’ A Clockwork Orange
Right Right, Thank you, and enjoy.
