A Clockwork Orange

As a girl, I found A Clockwork Orange disturbing because of the graphic imagining that it could portray. Anthony Burgess had a mind of his own when writing this, and it is apparent, with its different styles of linguistics. As you are reading the novel you may have to write your own dictionary. Nevertheless, I did not waste time reading this piece.
The main character 'Alex' is a real futuristic troublemaker. He is 15, lies, cheats, steals; and those are the lesser of his sins. The first part of the book explains his acts in detail, but as being in an age where these acts happen most every night on the telly, we are immune to it. Unfortunetly. Alex and his 'droogies' as he calls his followers, act out in this way every night, no preference, just making sure that they are home before dawn to attend school the next day. The four boys, because they are not quite men yet, cause enough trouble to land Alex in prison for over ten years.
Alex is recommened for a new program that would help him 'become human' again. This program only lasts a fortnight, and being two years already into his prison sentence, Alex decides to go through with it. One hour into the program he decides to quit and wants out. Alas, the only out is completing the program, and so he does.
Going home he is confronted by all that he commited crimes to, and being fresh out of prison, he is not given a great homecoming. The question is though, does the treatment work or is it a huge goverment fail once again?
