    Before Holden goes on a date, he has the impression that all girls are phonies, and is assured by his opinion after his date with Sally. When Holden takes Sally on a date, he is disgusted with her when she goes to talk to George. For example on page 141, “....The jerk noticed her and came over and said hello. You should've seen the way they said hello. You'd have thought they hadn't seen each other in twenty years. You'd have thought they'd taken baths in the same bathtub or something when they were little kids. Old buddyroos. It was nauseating. The funny part was, they probably met each other just once, at some phony party. He went to Andover. Big, big deal.” (141) Holden was baffled by all of this because they had met just once and Sally…

    Anthony Burgess's writing style in his most famous novel, A Clockwork Orange, is different to say the least. This novel is praised for its ingenuity, although many are disturbed by Burgess's predictions for the future. However, for many, it is close to impossible to comprehend without outside help. This is because Burgess created a language specifically for this novel, called Nadsat. This Russian-based language forms conversations between the narrator, Alex, and his teenage, delinquent friends. There are many assumptions as to why Burgess chose to complicate A Clockwork Orange by filling it with the confusing Nadsat language. Some opinions are that the language shows A Clockwork Orange readers where Alex and his "droogs" were located socially in society, or that Burgess was attempting to brainwash his audience, just as the authority figures brainwashed Alex and other members of their community, or finally, to show the shift from immature, young adults to normal, mature people. While it may not be clear to the audience why Burgess used Nadsat in A Clockwork Orange, it is easy to see that the different language adds character and depth to the novel.…
