So Reading Extravaganza was definitely a lot better than I imagined
it to be. I kinda thought it would end up being like me and a teacher sitting
in a white solitary room with no windows and her staring me in the eye asking
me really in depth and philosophical questions that I didn’t know how to answer….
It wasn’t that. But instead it was a few of us sitting in a table at the
library and just going in a circle basically sharing our feelings about the
book. So I read a Clock Work Orange by Anthony Burgess and it was…
psychological to a whole new level to say the LEAST. Totally off topic but one
kid in our group didn’t read it and it was totally obvious. DERRR. But yea, anyway,
I really didn’t even understand what was going on half the time because the
book was written in a made up futuristic British slang that was influenced by Russian
(and I think German?) called Nadst (I think). And it was so far off from modern
day English that you could not understand what was going on the life of you. I was
so enthralled by the fact that I understood that he said he was rapping two 10
year old girls that I didn’t even think that what he was doing was bad!!!! I was
just glad I understood he was saying it!
