A clockwork orange after reading exercise 1Make up a new ending for the story."So what's it going to be then, eh?"
There I stood, all dressed in the height of fashion. I had long black trousers, a perfect white vest and a tie. It was a special day for me, it was the day that I grew up.
18 years old, can you believe that? Your humble narrator has become 18 years now.
And I just stood there, looking around and seeing nothing.
Thinking about how my life had been so far, and as you know I've had some obstacles on my way to become a man, but I finally did.
I'm happy to be healthy again and do whatever I feel like, but I have to admit that my likes and dislikes have changed. Do you see that beautiful devotchka over there? The one with the pink hair and the black dress, that's my wife, I met her in a music shop. She was, just like me, looking at the new Mozart symphony. And you know how much this poor narrator loves his music. So I asked her what she liked about the music, and oh my brothers she could talk about my music like it was a part of her soul, the guiding star to her happiness, and for that my brothers she has become my wife . Who doesn't like a devotchka who can make a man want to do the classic in out in out without needing the music to get wild, she's the music itself.
So that's what I do now, work in my own classical music shop and care for my wife. I think she might be pregnant, and you, my brothers will be the first this narrator will tell it to. Because you have seen me at my highs and lows. So this is a goodbye between us, but maybe one day you'll see a young droog as I once was, and then you just have to think how everybody's unique and has his own free mind. You see my brothers it's not because we have bad ideas in the beginning that they'll stay with us forever, every droog deserves to be a kid once in while.
