a clockwork orange- Mcain vsOBAMA-reading journal

I just finished the book a clockwork orange and seeing that the presidential elections are tommarow theres a point that the book made to me that I think is something to consider when voiting(It sucks we cant vote but if your fourteen right now you can vote in the next election). The central themes of A Clockwork Orange our about how the world sees violence, there about redembtion but at what coast, there about choice, and eveb about the nature of good and evi, and human nature. Alex the central character of A Clockwork orange rapes a young woman in front of her husband, beets up a man for having a dirty book. Him and his gang of young holigins-with there strange made yp street talk and there lack of any censhership or conciance when it comes to volince-ther the reason we should be afraid to go to bed at night in this nightmarish futristic london. Eventualy the point of the story comes into paly when Alex goes to a clinc to get reabiltate by "the good guys" and even worse things that when he has done is done to him. We feel for him because he is both the por-and-an-tagonist of the story.

That beggs the question of can you do evil for the greater good. Does the means justify the coast. Is Alex a monster or is that we just never tried to understant him and mabye what we consider bad is simply what we dont yet understand.

I think that most immportantly Alex in the end even after beining re-ablitated comes back to his true nature he is beining true to ghimself and in a way its as if you have washed away all the bad you have done. you have reached a form of immortalty when you are able to let your true nature out into the open.

So my family is havinmg a party on tuesday to whatch the elction and all i can say is that in the world we live in A Clockwork orange has some resodainte messages. Is there a differance between good and evil or is evil simply what we dont fully yet uderstant-thats why i think in ahunted house the dark is scary cause you cant see. but most immportantly are we right hold back our true nature which somehow gets me to the point that when you vote you should think about these things. also vote or shut up. aslo i hope obama wins!
