Novel research

I took a look into the violence in the novel. The teens in the near-future england are a group of friends who rather than being regular members of society they are a gang that indulges in intense bouts of ultra-violence to quench their need for excitement. They look for reasons to cause harm and steal because they delight in causing others harm.  “Our pockets were full of deng, so there was no real need from the point of view of crasting any more pretty polly to tolchock some old veck in an alley and viddy him swim in his blood while we counted the takings and divided by four, nor to do the ultra-violent on some shivering starry grey-haired ptitsa in a shop and go smecking off with the till's guts. But, as they say, money isn’t everything," this quote shows that alex the leader of the group is very articulate and he uses that to express his enjoyment and interest in violence and crime. They all use violence as a hobby and they are very smart about how they go about doing that.
