A Clockwork Orange

One of the best books ever written. The book is about a young man named Alex who is a hoodlum and he and his friends get off on tormenting and raping people. One night Alex's friends betray him after he's killed some old woman and Alex is caught and put in jail. The government comes up with a rehab program that Alex volunteers for and it turns Alex against everything he loved before, including the works of Beethoven.
The book is written mainly in a language called "Nadsat" ("teen" in Russian) which comprises of people, mainly teenagers using Russian words in otherwise English sentances. Most of the copies of the book come with a glossary in the back, however, you can usually understand what a word means by the context it is used in.
A Clockwork Orange is a very graphic and violent book, but it does teach the reader very important lessons about themselves and about life.
Stanly Kubrick made A Clockwork Orange into a movie that was released in 1971 and was promptly banned in several countries as it was viewed as too violent. There's a scene in the movie that was cut out because it was too violent and also a chapter in the book that was cut out for the same reason. However, now you can get copies of the orginal book and I have heard rumors that you can download the original movie version.
A Clockwork Orange can be brought up during a conversation with your peers or teachers in order to make them think you're smart.

crackwhore

A woman who's crack addiction is so bad that it is the only factor running her life and making decisions for her. She cannot hold a job -- not even as a stripper -- and is forced to do the ONLY thing she can do for money... sucking and fucking. And she is sickened when she thinks about where she has ended up and does it all over again to get her fix so she can forget for a few hours... and then again... and again... life is absolutely miserable between fixes and the only time she thinks clearly, rationally and for HERSELF is shortly after she starts smoking up.
I'd love to kill all the worthless pieces of shit who have ever been involved in the process of turning a girl into a crackwhore.
I fell in love with a crackwhore (before I really knew she was one).
Don't ever try to help a crackwhore... she can only help herself.

clockwork orange

A clockwork orange comes from an old London saying "queer as a clockwork orange". A clockwork orange is actually a wind up doll that is controlled by both god and the devil. Anthony Burgess uses this for his book to symbolize the government almost brainwashing Alex in order to control his bad behavior.
