Setting
The setting of A Clockwork Orange is around New York City, but it is not modern New York City, it is in the future. I like how the setting is an actual, real city, but it is different because it's in the future. I also like how the author uses current things in New York City, like they will stay there for many years. For example, the subways in New York City are the major form of transportation in the book. I think this is cool because this city is famous for its subways, and the author kept them there. I wonder if there will be more things like this. Also, the author uses different names for things. In the book, they call Times Square the "Center" because it's the main part of the city. I think this is really interesting and I want to see what other current parts of New York City are used in this book.

Cool this book sounds like it could be real later!
ReplyDeleteWoah! That's cool to think about New York City in the future! I went to New York this year and I would be interested to read about the things I saw... but in the future.
ReplyDeleteIt sound like a good book and it is cool that it takes place in the future but still a place that most people know a little about and that they don't change so much that it doesn't make sense
ReplyDeleteI think the idea of the book being placed in the future and the setting of a current major city sounds great, however, if we think of major cities today, and think of what they were in the past, we can see many different changes. So I wonder if the book actually changes many things in order to keep progressing current technology.
