Clockwork Orange

I think that the language used in the book Clockwork Orange, is very difficult to understand. When I first began reading the book, I couldn't even get past the first page without being completely confused. Once I found out there was a dictionary for the Nadsat, I went back and skimmed through the first few chapters that I didn't understand and got a better idea of the themes of the book.

  1. I agree. I definitely think that the language used is very difficult. And even after referring to the nadsat dictionary it was a little easier bit still a little confusing at times. I personally didn't feel a connection to this book as I did "Feed".

  2. I thought the language was extremely hard to understand. Sometimes I wanted to give up on reading it. I tried to fill in my own words to help me understand
