Fourth Assignment

The Character, Alex, is a very important element to the book. He is not only the narrator he is the main character. The whole book is based on his life,what he does and what has happened to him. Without Alex there wouldn't be a story.

I also believe Alex is a metaphor for human nature. That no one is all good or all bad. He does this by doing some of the most horrible things but at the same time he loves classical music and talks about being clean and having respect. He's basically a walking contradiction.

I'd have to say the night would be a symbol. The night time is when all the bad things happen. The youngsters come out and commit a bunch of horrible crimes. This is the time when older people try not to come out cause they're affaird for their life. So when your reading this book and it gets late you basically know alex and his friends are going to get together and do something terrible.
