EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEXXXXXXXXXXTTTTRRRRRRAAAAAAAVAGAAAAAANNNNNZZZZZZAAAAAAAAAAAA


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!
